Several parties expect solid investment in the Armed Forces in the revised national budget

In the revised national budget, the government plans to spend 172 billion kroner on the Armed Forces, which is estimated to correspond to 3.3 percent of GDP.

On Thursday, Jens Stoltenberg will present his first budget. The opposition expects clear answers there, following NRK's revelation about a delayed defense project.

With the government's revised national budget proposal, Norway will spend approximately NOK 172 billion on defense spending this year. This means that Norway will spend 3.3 percent of GDP on defense in 2025. The budget proposal also allows the Armed Forces to carry out planned operational activities and to push the personnel escalation beyond the plan for 2025.
