Fourth Five-Year Plan of Ba'athist Syria

The Fourth Five-Year Economic and Social Development Plan was adopted by the government of Ba'athist Syria in 1976 and was in effect until 1980. One of the main goals of the plan were to continue import substitution of consumer goods begun in the Third Five-Year Plan, reduce import levels, industrialize through an ambitious industrial development campaign, and fully enroll children in schools. The Fourth Five-Year Plan was formulated in response to the failures of the Third and the shortage of agricultural produce.
