Germany is significantly increasing its military spending: By 2025, 2.4% of gross domestic product will be invested, and by 2029, as much as 3.5%. This is primarily a response to the threat posed by Russia and an uncertain transatlantic alliance.
The goal: to make Europe more independent in terms of defense policy and to meet NATO requirements early on.
Behind the percentages are record sums: the defense budget will increase by more than 70% in five years, to up to 162 billion euros. This will be made possible by new debt. The deficit is growing and austerity measures are affecting other areas such as social services and health care.
