The key objective of the five-year plan, based on the economic and social policy of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, is to maintain and improve the high standard of living achieved and its social security, even under significantly more difficult external and internal conditions, in line with the results achieved in the development of the national economy.
In order to achieve this objective and to strengthen the socialist state, the following basic tasks shall be set out:
(a) to create conditions for the gradual growth of social production rates and for the dynamic balance over the five-year period by promoting significant economic intensification, the efficiency and quality of all work, in particular by appropriate structural changes and the maximum use of scientific and technological development results;
