Poland in 2018 exceeded the NATO defense spending standard

“According to the budget estimates, in 2018, Poland allocated 2.05 percent of GDP for defense purposes,” the report said.

The ministry indicated that on average, NATO members spend 1.51% of GDP on an army.

It is noted that in 2018, at the request of the Minister of Defense Mariusz Blaščák, an additional 1.6 billion zlotys ($ 0.42 billion) were allocated from the budget for modernization.

In March, it was reported that Poland intends to invest almost $ 50 billion in the development and re-equipment of the armed forces.
