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.
Direction of monetary-base expansion decisions relative to trend. Separate from fiscal.transfer_expansion even when correlated.

Following the 1999 sucretización-era banking collapse, Ecuador imposed a deposit freeze (feriado bancario, March 1999), created the Agencia de Garantía de Depósitos (AGD) under Law 98-17 to intervene and resolve insolvent banks, and ultimately liquidated or absorbed roughly half the banking system. Resolution work continued through dollarisation in early 2000, recapitalising surviving banks under tighter prudential supervision.
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.
