Abstract: It is sometimes said that "national planning will simply have no meaning if it completely ignores the economic disparities 1;>etween the two wings and fails to evolve a sensible pattern of regional planning"2. The lack of . much essential data on a regional basis, however, renders any precise estimate of the relative growth rates almost impossible. Data either are not available or are inadequate on such important variables as production, income, consumption and trade, so that even a correct evaluation of past development efforts is not possible. The implications of such a situation for future planning are not difficult to understand.
