About this report
Poland’s 2026 defence budget has reached an unprecedented scale, solidifying its position as the cornerstone of NATO’s Eastern Flank security architecture. With a record allocation of PLN 200 billion, equivalent to 4.8% of GDP, the nation is fundamentally reshaping the European industrial landscape through historic rearmament efforts.
Global contractors and institutional investors are now pivoting toward Warsaw to capitalize on this surge, which is underpinned by the sophisticated dual-financing model of the BGK-managed Armed Forces Support Fund.
