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.
Trade policy openness — tariffs, non-tariff barriers, FTAs, industrial protection.
Targeted industrial and sectoral subsidies (renewable energy, chip manufacturing, agriculture, green hydrogen, etc).
Defence of the USD/BOB 6.96 fixed peg (in place since 2011) as BCB net international reserves fell below USD 2bn in early 2023, roughly a third of 2014 peak levels, driven by gas-export decline and import dependence. Ley 1503 of May 5, 2023 authorised the central bank to monetise gold reserves, permitting sale of gold holdings to obtain usable foreign exchange. Parallel-market dollar premium opened to 30-50% through 2023- 2024; FX rationing at banks effectively restricted imports, contributing to the 2024 fuel-shortage crisis as YPFB could not obtain dollars to pay for imported diesel and gasoline. No formal devaluation announced.
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.
