Abstract: This article presents the outline of a multi-sector, optimizing model for int erregional planning and uses it to analyse Pakistan's Third Five-Year Plan (1965- 70). This is an interregional (as distinguished from a national) model in so far as it recognizes the existence of economic regions within the nation and eXplicitly takes into account the interregional trade flows. Another aspect of a multi-region economy that the model reflects is that in planning for optimization the' model enables the planners to maximize some objective which is a function not only of the value of national income or consumption but also of their distribution between the regions.
