Record amount for defense in 2025. How much?
At the end of August, the money.pl service reported unofficially that the government had proposed that in the budget for 2025 – which was confirmed by several sources – defense spending be increased by 0.6 percentage points. This would mean 4.1% of GDP (gross domestic product). The editorial staff calculated that it would be approximately PLN 190 billion.
Indeed, as the Deputy Prime Minister announced, a record amount will be allocated for this purpose.
