General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.
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.
Rule of law as institutional substrate — contract enforcement, judicial independence, equal treatment before the law. Upstream of most other axes.
Continuation under the Mahama government of Ghana's IMF Extended Credit Facility programme and associated post-default reform path. The bundle keeps the primary surplus and debt-sustainability targets from the 2023 programme, pursues external creditor restructuring after the domestic debt exchange, limits renewed Bank of Ghana financing of the budget, and ties disbursements to revenue administration, public-finance management, energy-sector arrears, and state-owned-enterprise discipline.
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.
Created to materialise a declared policy on ghana_mahama_ndc_second_2025_present.
