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.
Direction of monetary-base expansion decisions relative to trend. Separate from fiscal.transfer_expansion even when correlated.
General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.
Under the Emefiele CBN (2014-2023), Ways-and-Means advances to the Federal Government — notionally capped at 5% of prior-year revenue under the CBN Act — accumulated to approximately N22.7 trillion by end-2022, with peak stock breaching the statutory limit by multiples. Functionally equivalent to monetary financing of fiscal deficits. Securitised into a 40-year 9% bond in mid-2023 as a condition of Tinubu-era reset. The cumulative monetary financing is widely cited as the principal structural driver of naira weakness and 2022-2024 inflation.
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.
