Basic objectives and guidelines of the Republic's five-year plan
(1) The main objective of the Republic's five-year plan is to ensure, in line with the socialist way of life, greater satisfaction of the needs and further strengthening of the life security of the population while strengthening the socialist state and its defensibility.
(2) The main way and condition for the planned development of the national economy, aimed at achieving the stated objective, is to continuously increase the nationalefficiency. In particular, all economic growth factors will be strengthened, the accumulated reserves will be used, management levels improved and the natural and economic conditions of the Republic will be widely exploited. The authorities of all economic management and socialist organisations are therefore obliged to ensure the more efficient use of the production base and the skills and qualifications of workers, to support and use the further development of science and technology as one of the key factors in the development of the national economy, to continue the concentration and specialisation of production and to progressively change its structure and to develop more intensively international socialist economic integration, particularly with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
(3) The development of the national economy of the Czech Socialist Republic aims to further expand the materially technical base of socialism and consolidate socialist production relations. Comprehensive socialist rationalisation is a decisive method of planning and mobilising reserves as an integral part of the creation and implementation of national economic plans.
(4) The development of the various sectors of the national economy of the Czech Socialist Republic will be oriented towards ensuring the growth of national income in the Czech Socialist Republic by more than a quarter and by its share ensuring the growth of Czechoslovak national income and the implementation of the other tasks set out in the National Economic Plan of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic for the years 1971- 1975 (hereinafter referred to as the "Five Year Plan of the CSSR"). The social product of the Czech Socialist Republic will increase by almost a quarter.
(5) The development of the various areas of the Republic will focus on the further growth of their economic base and living standards of the population and on balancing the economic and social disparities between them.
(6) At the same time, the implementation of the basic objectives and guidelines of the Republic's five-year plan creates conditions for further balancing the economic and social level between the Czech Socialist Republic and the Slovak Socialist Republic.
The development of the National Economy of the Czech Socialist Republic will aim to meet the following objectives:
a) increase the volume of industrial production in the Czech Socialist Republic by around 27% by 1975; This increase is mainly achieved through the more efficient use of the already built production base, its modernisation and the development of progressive fields, with a significant increase in labour productivity;
b) increase the volume of industrial production in individual sectors in the Czech Socialist Republic until 1975
- in fuels and energy by 18.7%, with at least 46 billion kWh of electricity produced in 1975,
- in metallurgy and engineering by 31.7%,
- 46% in the chemical industry,
- in the consumer industry by 24%,
- 43% in the production of building materials and parts,
- in the food industry by 13%;
priority shall be given to the development support programmes;

(1) In line with the growth of national income and the creation of tangible resources, personal and social consumption of the population will develop.

The housing problem will be solved more quickly; In all forms of construction it will be built during the five-year plan in the Czech Socialist Republic at least 325 thousand flats. The basic means of the non-production sector to create conditions for environmental improvement will be further developed.
(2) The growth in real money income of the population will be secured by around 5% on average per year. Accordingly, the retail turnover and the volume of services paid by the population will increase. The stabilisation of the internal market will be ensured and changes in the structure of consumption will be gradually promoted.
(3) A comprehensive system of health care for the population will be built up, ordering and waiting times for medical examinations and treatments will be reduced and medical supplies will be improved.
