- German government defense spending for 2021: 46.8 * 10^9€ [0]
- German government defense spending for 2022: >=100 * 10^9€ [1]
quote from [1]: "Scholz said that the German government would allocate €100 billion earmarked for the German armed forces, the Bundeswehr, in the 2022 budget. "From "From now on, more than 2% of our GDP will be invested in our defense," Scholz said.
Germany has previously been criticized for devoting less than the 2% mark on defense spending called for by NATO membership rules.
The €100 billion will be allocated into a "special fund" for the German armed forces."
