Poland’s budget proposal for 2025 includes record defense spending of $48.7 billion, officials said Wednesday.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk presented the main points of next year’s budget for the nation. Tusk described the budget proposal as “generous” and supporting further economic growth.
“It is a great effort, but there is no turning back from it,” Tusk said at a news conference, referring to the defense sector funding.

Finance Minister Andrzej Domanski said that the defense spending proposal would constitute 4.7 percent of gross domestic product, compared to 4.2 percent this year, which already makes Poland a leader in NATO and in the European Union.
The current proposal would break the previous defense spending record of $41.5 billion in the 2024 budget.
