Statutory and effective corporate tax rates, treatment of depreciation, and international competitiveness.
Progressivity of the personal income tax schedule, including top marginal rates, bracket spread, and targeted credits (EITC-equivalents).

In September 2004 the Nazif government slashed average customs tariffs from roughly 14% to 9%, cut tariff bands from 27 to 6, and eliminated 12% of nuisance fees and inspection charges via Presidential Decree 300/2004. The reform aligned Egypt's external regime with WTO commitments and the EU Association Agreement, and was a precursor to the QIZ protocol with Israel and the US.
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.
