Japanese five-year plan
The five-year plans for the entire Japanese economy were drawn up by the Japanese cabinet starting in 1955 . The first five-year plans were designed on the Marxist model. As early as 1957, the Japanese economy returned to its pre-war state, but there was still a lot of catching up to do with other industrialized nations, especially the USA .
No further five-year plans for the entire economy were drawn up after 1980, but plans exist for individual branches of the economy.
