This article tried to estimate the foreign exchange need for import in the fourth development plan using an up to date input-output table, and compare the results with the actual values of the plan performance. The up to date tables were prepared in two stages, adjusting prices and the quantities. Results showed that because of unexpected of foreign exchange in the early years of the plan, at the time of preparing plan the allocated foreign exchange for imports was more than sufficient. This shows that in the time of preparing plan the decision makers have been worried about the delayed debts and paid attention to bring about a positive trade balance.
