THE ROLLING STOCK INDUSTRY (IN YUGOSLAVIA)

Author(s): Muris Fazlagić / Language(s): English Issue: 2/1971

This branch of industry includes production of locomotives, goods wagons, passengers coaches and other kinds of special rail wagons and vehicles, motor trains, rail buses and trams. It also includes enterprises specializing in the maintenance and repair of rolling stock, which operate either independently or as part of railway enterprises. The beginning of the development of this branch of industry dates back to the construction of the Vienna—Trieste railway line. When the Šentilj—Celje section of the line going through Maribor was built in 1846, a railway supply shop was set up in Maribor, which after a few years, when its services spread beyond the needs of the Maribor railway junction, became a private railway workshop under the name Juzne železnice (Southern Railways). This is the present- day factory Boris Kidrič.

THE ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING INDUSTRY (IN YUGOSLAVIA FROM 1963-1971)

Author(s): Svetozar Musulin,Dragoslav Matić,Andrija Čonkin / Language(s): English Issue: 2/1972

The salient features of the general development of the electrical engineering industry in the period 19631 — 1971 were a very fast rise in 1963 and 1964 and a much slower growth after the beginning of the Economic Reform. In the first two years of that period this branch of industry grew at an average annual rate of 28.0 per cent, as compared with 9.9 per cent in 1965—1971, which was the average growth rate for industry as a whole. In individual years of that period production increased over the preceding year by 3 to 9 per cent, with the exception of 1969 (21 per cent)1 2 and 1971 (14 per cent). The proportion of the electrical engineering industry in the gross revenue of industry as a whole amounted in 1963 to 6.1 per cent and in 1971 to 7.1 per cent. In 1971, this branch of industry contributed 6.7 per cent of the social product and 7.11 per cent of the net income generated by industry as a whole.

DISTRIBUTION OF AGRICULTURAL LAND BY SIZE OF HOLDING AND SECTOR OF OWNERSHIP, 1960—1970 (IN YUGOSLAVIA)

Author(s): Katja Vandal / Language(s): English Issue: 4/1972

The various socio-economic measures taken in 1960—1970, especially during the implementation of the Economic Reform, were greatly conducive to the expansion of agricultural production. Socialist holdings were consolidated and modernized to become large productive units operating on a high technological level. At the same time there were far-reaching changes in the technological and socio-economic characteristics of private farms following their increasing efforts to switch to market production.] The above processes resulted in a redistribution of total land area both between socialist and private agricultural holdings and within these two groups of holdings.

CHANGES IN THE STRUCTURE OF YUGOSLAV IMPORTS, 1965—1972

Author(s): Srbislav Todorović / Language(s): English Issue: 1/1973

Interdependence of changes in the structure of imports and domestic demand has been a salient feature of the Yugoslav economy throughout the postwar period. Until the end of the Fifties investment and general government expenditure played the dominant role in total consumption. At the beginning of the Sixties and especially after the Economic Reform introduced in mid-1965, personal consumption began gradually to dominate. These shifts were to a large extent due to changes in the policy of income redistribution and in business conditions, and to overall economic growth, all of which brought about shifts in demand in consumption patterns and in the structure of imports.
