General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.
Sector-specific licensing regimes, concentration / quota allocation, state-controlled entry (energy, telecoms, healthcare, banking).
Policy posture toward energy supply security — domestic production capacity, import diversification, strategic reserves, nuclear stance, fossil-fuel mix discipline.
National Treasury announced a R254bn debt-relief package for Eskom in the February 2023 Budget, to be implemented over 2023/24-2025/26 via capital injections and debt take-overs, conditional on Eskom executing operational reforms (unbundling into Generation, Transmission, Distribution), spending freezes outside maintenance, and ceasing new borrowing. The arrangement shifted balance-sheet risk from the SOE to the sovereign to stabilise electricity supply and halt the Eskom-fiscal doom loop.
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.
