De jure and de facto independence of the central bank from fiscal authority. Per D.1.5 scope, one of the framework's defensible monetary positions.

In February 2018 the Maduro government launched the Petro (PTR), a state-issued cryptocurrency notionally backed by Venezuelan crude oil reserves at the Ayacucho-1 block.

The Petro saw negligible adoption, opaque issuance, and was effectively discontinued by 2024 amid corruption investigations.
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.
