On Planned Indices of Economic Effectiveness of Capital Investments in the National Economy of the USSR

Growing capital investments in new construction and the reconstruction of enterprises in the USSR are the basis for the high rates of socialist reproduction on an enlarged scale. It will be recalled that in the current seven-year period (1959-1965) state capital investments will total close to 2 trillion rubles. If we add to these investments the capital outlays from non-centralized funds, the capital investments of the collective farms and also housing construction from funds of the population and with the help of state credits, all capital investments will reach a sum close to 3 trillion rubles. Thus, in this seven-year period approximately as much money will be invested in the development of the national economy as in all the preceding years of Soviet rule.
