Forecast: Defence Expenditure by Central Governement in Spain

The forecasted defence expenditure by the central government in Spain shows a gradual decline from $4.39 billion in 2024 to $4.28 billion in 2028. When analyzing the trend from the actual value in 2023 (which needs to be known for reference), this reflects a slight year-on-year decrease each year. Specifically, the annual decreases are approximately: -0.68% from 2024 to 2025, -0.69% from 2025 to 2026, -0.46% from 2026 to 2027, and -0.70% from 2027 to 2028.

The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted five-year period is negative, showing a small but consistent reduction in defence spending year over year.

Future trends to watch for include:

• Potential changes in geopolitical dynamics that could prompt a revision in defence budgets.
• Economic fluctuations that impact overall governmental budget allocations.
• Technological advancements and modernization efforts that may alter expenditure priorities.
• Political shifts within Spain that might influence defence expenditure policies.
