The world’s military costs reached $ 1.5 trillion in $ 1
The Stockholm Sipri International Institute for Peace Research (SIPRI) reported today (Monday) that the world’s military costs rose to $ 1.5 trillion in year 2, which is the highest annual increase since the Cold War, due to increased geopolitical clashes and tensions.
According to RCO News Agency, the research institute said that Europe and West Asia have witnessed the most severe increases in military spending, and some European countries have had “unprecedented” increases at their costs.
According to a new report by the International Research Institute, military costs around the world, especially in Europe and West Asia, have increased.
The costs increased by 4.9 percent globally compared to year 2, and the year of the 10th consecutive year has increased costs, the institute said.
“This increase has been unprecedented,” said Sipri, a researcher at the CIA. It was the highest annual increase since the end of the Cold War. “Although there may be further increases during the Cold War, data from the Soviet Union is not available.”
The new report from the Sipri Institute also said that more than 5 countries, including all three countries with the highest costs in military affairs, increased their military budget last year.
Significant impact
“The main reason for this is the increase in geopolitical stresses,” Liang said. Increasing military spending is likely to have a significant political and socio-economic impact on societies. “Countries that have increased their military spending must consider a number of issues in their budget decisions.”
“For example, many European countries have reduced other costs such as international aid to increase their military spending and are trying to increase taxes or rely on loans or debt to finance these costs,” he said.
The main reason for the rise in costs was the European region, including Russia, where the costs rose 2 percent to $ 5 billion.
“All European countries have increased their budget except for Malta, and this has brought European military spending to its highest level at the end of the Cold War and is an unprecedented record,” Cypri said in a report.
Russia’s military costs reached $ 5 billion in year 2, a 2 percent increase compared to the previous year and twice the year.
Ukraine’s military costs also increased by 4.9 percent, reaching $ 1.5 billion.
While this amount is only 5 % of Russia’s weapons costs, it is 2 % of GDP for Ukraine. This means that Kiev carries the most military burden among any country.
Germany re -armed
According to a new report by the Sipri Research Institute, German military costs increased by 5 % to $ 1.5 billion and surpassed India, becoming the fourth largest country in the world to increase military spending.
“Germany has become the largest Western country and Europe’s central country for the first time since East and Western Germany’s re -joining military affairs,” said a researcher at the Sipri Institute.
America’s largest military spending
The United States, the world’s largest spending on military affairs, increased its costs by 4.9 percent to $ 5 billion. It alone accounts for 2 % of world costs and 2 percent of military spending among NATO countries.
The Sipri Institute said in a new report that the total number of NATO members’ military costs increased to $ 1.5 trillion with the increase in the costs of all members.
“We saw in year 2 that nine countries out of 5 NATO countries were aimed at spending two percent of their GDP, the highest since the coalition was founded,” Liang continued.
Although some of these increases have been the result of European military aid to Ukraine, concerns over the possibility of US cooperation with the coalition have also extended it.
“There has really been a change in European defense policies, so we will see extensive preparations in the arms industry in the coming years,” the researcher said at the Sipri Institute.
Growth of 2 % of West Asian military spending
Military budgets in West Asia have also increased dramatically to about $ 2 billion, a 5 percent increase compared to year 2.
As the Zionist regime’s attacks on Gaza continued, the Zionist regime’s military spending increased by 2 percent to $ 1.5 billion in year 2.
The Stockholm International Peace Institute noted that the figure shows the highest annual increase since the six -day war in year 2.
China and three decades of consecutive growth
China, the world’s second -largest country -cost country, raised its budget by 5 percent to about $ 2 billion, which is a “sign of three decades of consecutive growth”.
China, which is investing in the modernization of the army and the expansion of its cyber warfare and nuclear arsenal capabilities, has cost half of the total military spending in Asia and Oceania.
