The Ninth Five-Year Plan was presented to the

capital goods.[2] Brezhnev told the Congress that increasing the standard of living was more important than economic development.[3] The plan proposed an increase in gross national income (GNP) by 37 to 40 percent.[4]

Fulfillment

The goals set by the 24th Party Congress were not fulfilled, and for the first time, the

Megawatt (MW) to 65,000 by 1975; CHPP capacity only reached 59,800 MW.[9] By the end of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, there was a marked slowdown in nearly all sectors of the Soviet economy.[10]

Not everything was a failure, as investment in computer technology increased by 420 percent over the

Soviet government that 200,000 workers were involved in improving and introducing modern computer technology in the country. These computer technicians were developing the Automated System for Management (ASU) in an attempt to improve factory and labour productivity.[12] Average real income increased by 4.5 percent per annum.[13]
