Under the Nazif "businessman cabinet," Egypt sold the Bank of Alexandria (one of four state banks) to Italy's Sanpaolo IMI in 2006 and divested public stakes in joint-venture banks while consolidating the smaller domestic sector.

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.
