Türkiye raises its defence expenditure to 2 trillion lira TurDef
Türkiye's 2026 budget sets aside 2.15 trillion lira for defence and internal security, which is a 33.9% increase from 2025. This is because NATO countries are increasing their expenditure to reach a 5% GDP goal.
During the government's budget talks, Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz said that Türkiye will spend a record 2 trillion 155 billion lira on military and security in 2026. 1.202 trillion lira of this is for national defence and 953 billion lira is for homeland security. This shows Türkiye's growing commitment to strategic capabilities and resilience.
The total amount set aside in the 2025 central government budget was 1.608 trillion lira, with 913.9 billion going to defence and 694.5 billion going to security. The new number is a 33.9% rise from the previous year, which shows that Türkiye is still focused on deterrence, modernising its defences, and keeping the country stable.
