Zitat:Romania passes state budget, increases defence spendinghttps://www.janes.com/defence-news/defen...e-spending
Romania's president Klaus Iohannis passed the State Budget for 2022 on 28 December, a week after the Parliament gave its approval.
The budget includes RON25.9 billion (USD6 billion) for defence, a 14% nominal increase on 2021 that equates to a real-term rise of 11.2%. The budget maintains defence spending as a percentage of GDP at just over NATO's 2% benchmark, a figure that Romania has been reaching since 2017. [...] Procurement has also been pushed upwards, both in real terms and as a percentage of the total budget. Capital expenditure tripled between 2015 and 2017, reaching RON6.5 billion that year. It has since increased to RON8.6 billion in 2022 and official projections suggest it will reach RON14 billion by 2025. As a percentage of the budget, this is a move from 15% in 2015 to 32% in 2022 and is projected to reach 41% in 2025, exceeding the 20% NATO target.
