Turkey's Decree 32 of 11 August 1989, issued by the Ozal government under the Law on the Protection of the Value of Turkish Currency, lifted the principal restrictions on capital movements — permitting Turkish residents to hold foreign currency, foreigners to hold lira assets, and full convertibility for current and capital transactions on the basis of declared ceilings. The intended effect was to complete Turkey's transition from the import-substitution era, unlock external financing for the post-1980 export-led model, and prepare the ground for the 1990s' integration into international capital markets — even at the cost of greater external-shock exposure.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
