Sektoriliste

Sektoriliste is a term used in some countries, particularly in Eastern Europe, to refer to a system of allocating resources or goods based on specific sectors of the economy. This method was more prevalent during periods of centrally planned economies, where the state controlled production and distribution. Under such a system, different industries or sectors, such as agriculture, manufacturing, or defense, would be assigned specific quotas or allocations of raw materials, labor, and capital. The aim was to ensure that key sectors received the necessary inputs to meet production targets set by the government.

The distribution through sektoriliste was often managed by state planning agencies. These agencies would analyze the needs of each sector and then distribute available resources accordingly. This system was designed to prioritize certain industries deemed crucial for national development or security. However, it could also lead to inefficiencies, such as oversupply in some sectors and shortages in others, due to the inflexibility of centralized planning and the difficulty in accurately forecasting demand. While less common in its pure form today, elements of sector-specific allocation can still be observed in certain government programs or subsidies aimed at supporting particular industries.
