Forecast: Military Expenditure in Germany

The forecasted military expenditure for Germany as a percentage of GDP indicates a gradual decline from 2024 through 2028. In 2023, actual military expenditure stood at a higher value compared to any subsequent forecasted years. The year-on-year variation shows a consistent negative trend: a decrease of approximately 2.24% from 2024 to 2025, about 2.29% from 2025 to 2026, a reduction of around 1.56% from 2026 to 2027, and a further decline of about 2.38% from 2027 to 2028. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects an annual decrease.

Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in geopolitical tensions, changes in government policy, and any economic developments that may affect the allocation of GDP towards military expenditure. Monitoring these factors is crucial as they may either accelerate or decelerate this declining trend in military spending.
