Poland Has Planned A Record Military Budget In History

It became known how much will be allocated in 2026 for defense.

The Polish government plans to spend about $54.75 billion on defense in 2026, which will amount to 4.8% of the country's GDP. This is a record figure in the country's history.

The Polish government's press service reported this.

The Polish government noted that the planned figure of 4.8% of GDP is one of the highest among NATO member states.

"We know why we are doing this; we see it on our eastern border. We will continue to arm Poland and prepare it for any surprises," Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said.

He also emphasized that a modern and combat-ready army is needed to defend the country against all external threats.

Polish Finance Minister Andrzej Domański added that the budget deficit in 2026 will amount to 271.7 billion zlotys (6.5% of GDP). In turn, the country's revenues should reach 647 billion zlotys, almost 44 billion zlotys above the forecast for 2025.
