ABSTRACT

The CC Presidium and the Council of Ministers are of the opinion that a series of measures have to be implemented to improve planning and economic management and to enhance economic incentives in production, in order to cope with the new tasks in developing industry. The higher the national income, the more means can be allocated for the development of production and for raising the well-being of the people. The USSR State Planning Committee must play the main role in introducing order into capital construction planning. The existing forms of management, planning and stimuli in industry are no longer in conformity with modern technical-economic conditions and the present level of the productive forces. Improvement of the forms and methods of planning will make it possible to tackle the problem of strengthening and developing cost accounting in a new way. The new system of planning and economic stimulation increased the workers' interest in the results of their work.
