Under Finance Minister Lajos Bokros and central bank governor György Surányi in the MSZP-SZDSZ coalition (socialist-liberal). Response to 1994-95 Hungarian BOP + fiscal crisis after transitional fiscal expansion. Measures: 9% one-off currency devaluation + crawling peg, 8% import surcharge (temporary), real-wage reduction via indexation adjustment, public-sector layoffs, higher education tuition introduction, family benefit means-testing, acceleration of privatisation. Fiscal deficit reduced from ~9% (1994) to ~3% by 1997. Post-1996 Hungarian growth accelerated. Influential Eastern European consolidation template. Coalition-content case: socialist- liberal coalition implementing austerity + market-liberalising reforms.
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.
