The economy still made sizable gains.
Even though many quotas were missed, heavy industry, coal, steel and electrification expanded dramatically and visible industrial projects were completed, so the plan was presented and perceived as a major step forward. (Propaganda and some falsified reporting also helped promote the image of success.)
