About this report
In late June 2025 Germany’s new CDU/CSU–SPD coalition unveiled a draft federal budget that signals a historic shift: massive investments to rebuild the Bundeswehr . Defense outlays are slated to jump to €95 billion in 2025 , then rise rapidly each year to roughly €150–160 billion by 2029 .
In total, up to €649 billion over five years is being earmarked for modernization of the armed forces and domestic armaments industry – an increase “of unprecedented scale” not seen since the 1960s.
