calculations of Erich Yanch, 500 big United States corporations spend about 11 of alI the expenditures for research and develop­ ment annually on prognostication. Attempts have been made on developing state prognoses. However, the non-planned, market economy wll I not permit effective appl lcatlon of the results of these Investigations for managing the national economy. Prognoses, associated with the problems of economic growth, are developed most actively, because they are associated with all the problems of further development of the entire world community. These problems are considered In different aspects: global and regional, national and International, etc. Despite the certain eclecticism of the research, the class partial tty of the researchers, the great scientific value of these researches, as to their content and methodological sense, Is lnalsputable. The deve I opment of prognostIcatIon :in our country has occurred and continues to occur In cooperation with prognostication In foreign countries. Soviet specialists In prognostication participate In different symposia and conferences, their works are translated Into different languages of the world. Most close ties have been establ !shed by our special lsts with their col leagues In the CMEA member-countlres. These ties come true not only by the forms stated earl ler, but also by Joint work at methods and concrete prognoses. The highest form of scientific-technical cooperation In this area has been the cre~tlon of a "Working group on cooperation In the area of scientific-technical prognostication" by the decision of the Committee on scientific-technical cooeratlon of CMEA. This historical act has been adopted In the Hungarian' People's Repu~llc of the 12th meeting of the Committee on sclentlflc­ technlcal cooperation. Being an organ of the CMEA Committee on scientific-technical cooperation, the Working Group on cooperation In scientific­ technical prognostication carries out considerable work on Improving the organization of cooperation In prognosticating the 
**Analysis**
The text primarily discusses the development of research and development in the field of prognosis, particularly in the context of economic growth and international cooperation.

This suggests that the text is more focused on the scientific and technological aspects of prognosis rather than its practical applications in a particular field.
