On 3 November 2016, the Central Bank of Egypt freed the Egyptian pound, devaluing it from 8.88 to roughly 13–18 EGP/USD as a prior action under the IMF's USD 12bn Extended Fund Facility. The CBE simultaneously raised the overnight deposit rate by 300 bp and abolished priority FX allocation, ending two decades of de-facto crawling pegs.

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.
