Turkey's Decree 83/7506 of 16 December 1983, issued by the Ozal government, legalised "Special Finance Houses" (Ozel Finans Kurumlari) operating on Islamic profit-and-loss-sharing principles rather than interest, opening the way to firms such as Albaraka Turk and Faisal Finans Kurumu. The institutions were brought fully under Banking Law in 1999 and renamed "participation banks" in 2005. The intended effect was to mobilise interest-averse domestic savings and Gulf-region capital, broaden the financial-system base, and politically anchor the new conservative-liberal coalition without abandoning the secular banking-law framework.
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.
