Five-year plans of Ba'athist Syria

The Five-year Plans for Economic Expansion and the Advancement of Society (Arabic: الخطة الخمسية للتوسع الاقتصادي وتقدم المجتمع, romanized: Al-Khutat Al-Khamsiat Liltawasue Alaiqtisadii Wataqadum Al-mujtamae) were economic development projects in Syria during the Ba'ath Party rule (1963-2024), inspired by the Soviet model. The goals set within the framework of Ba'athist five-year plans are known as National Development Goals. The first five-year plan was introduced before the Ba'ath Party came to power, but it ended under it. The main essence and direction of the five-year plans are mainly discussed at meetings of the Central Committee of the Ba'ath Party. The main role in the formulation and approval of Five-Year Plans is played by the so-called State Planning Commission.

Since 2011, the Five-Year Plans have ceased to be implemented, although they have not been officially cancelled. Starting in 2014, the Bashar al-Assad regime announced a transition to three-year plans. The failure of the first five-year plans could be explained by political instability, while the last one was marked by civil war. In total, ten five-year plans were implemented and eleven were announced.
