General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.
Targeted industrial and sectoral subsidies (renewable energy, chip manufacturing, agriculture, green hydrogen, etc).
Policy posture toward energy supply security — domestic production capacity, import diversification, strategic reserves, nuclear stance, fossil-fuel mix discipline.
The FY2026 draft budget approved in December 2025 set a JPY122.3tn initial general-account framework, up JPY7.1tn from FY2025. It increased general expenditure, defence build-up spending, child and child-rearing allocations, GX upfront investment, semiconductor public support, science grants, critical-products funding, and local allocation grants while keeping newly issued government bonds below JPY30tn and showing a general-account primary-balance surplus in the initial budget. The package operationalised Takaichi's "responsible proactive public finances" line: targeted strategic investment and crisis preparedness inside a stated fiscal-discipline frame.
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.
