USSR: Measures of Economic Growth and Development, 1950-80

Central Intelligence Agency · 1982-12-08 · 399 pages · text from the file's own layer

This Joint Committee Print, dated December 8, 1982, gathers studies that the Central Intelligence Agency's Directorate of Intelligence prepared for the Joint Economic Committee of the US Congress. It gives estimates of Soviet gross national product for 1950 to 1980, with indexes of industrial production, agricultural production and consumption, and explains the methods and data behind them. The foreword says official Soviet statistics inflate growth and that the CIA measures offer a more accurate picture. The document contains no UFO material.

11.6
As regards changes in the distribution of GNP by
sector of origin (table 1 1), the two sectors showing the
largest increases in percentage shares of GNP as a
result of repricing are trade (retail, wholesale, and
agricultural procurement) and housing. The light and
food industry sectors experienced the greatest decline
in GNP shares, primarily because most of the turn-
over taxes are collected in those sectors.
