The Tenth Five-Year Plan, or the 10th Five-Year Plan of the

Council of Ministers Alexei Kosygin at the 25th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union
(CPSU). Officially the plan was normally referred to as "The Plan of Quality and Efficiency".

Eleventh Five-Year Plan as it did during the tenth.[3] Investment in chemical and petrochemical industry doubled in the Tenth Five-Year plan in comparison with its predecessor.[4]

It was reported that the Political Bureau (Politburo) rejected the draft of the Tenth Five-Year Plan twice because it demanded too little growth in the consumer goods sector of the economy.[5]

Brezhnev had proposed in March 1974 that the two major projects in the plan would be (1) construction of the

Baikal Amur Mainline railway in Siberia, and (2) rural development of the backward non-chernozem zone of European Russia.[6]

Fulfillment

During the term of the plan, renovation of enterprises in the oil refining industry made up two-thirds of national capital investment.[7] Due to the

previous five-year plan.[2] According to a report entitled Oil Supplementary by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the USSR would not fulfill its annual output target of 640 million tons of oil.[8] Planned increases in labour productivity also failed to materialise.[9]

Contemporary Soviet statistics show that plan fulfillment was higher in the European part of the USSR and the

Baikal Amur Mainline
railway in Siberia was officially finished in 1984, but was not fully completed until 1991.

The 1979 Soviet economic reform, or "Improving planning and reinforcing the effects of the economic mechanism on raising the effectiveness in production and improving the quality of work", was an economic reform initiated by Alexei Kosygin. In contrast with many of his earlier reform initiatives, such as the 1965 economic reform, which successfully centralised the economy by enhancing the powers of the ministries, this reform failed to fulfill the rest of the Tenth Five-Year Plan.[13]
