Mexico became the first country to restructure under the Brady Plan, exchanging roughly USD 48 billion of commercial-bank claims in 1989-1990 for collateralised "Brady bonds" with principal and interest guarantees backed by US Treasury zero-coupon securities. The deal reduced effective debt-service burdens, restored Mexico's access to international capital markets, and was a precondition for the subsequent Salinas privatisation, trade-liberalisation, and NAFTA reform programme.
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.
