Fifth Five-Year Plan of Ba'athist Syria

The Fifth Five-Year Plan for Economic Expansion and the Advancement of Society (also referred as the Fifth Five-Year Plan for Social and Economic Development) was adopted by the government of the Ba'athist Syria in 1981 and was in effect until 1985. Building on the failures and setbacks of the Fourth Five-Year Plan (1976-1980), the Fifth set less ambitious development goals. This plan also shifted its focus from industrialization to agricultural development, aiming to achieve greater progress in Syria's consumer self-sufficiency. The emphasis of the Fifth Five-Year Plan was on completing and utilizing with maximum efficiency already started/existing projects rather than on creating new ones.
