BofA on why European defense spending is unlikely to be so quick and easy Investing.com-- European defense spending looks set to move out of a years-long slumber as rising geopolitical pressures force the bloc to rethink its defense budget. But Bank of America Securities economists warn that boosting budgets to meet new NATO targets will not be “quick and easy” for most EU countries. “A ramp-up in defence spending is unlikely to be so quick and easy,” BofA economists said in a recent note, highlighting simulations showing that raising core defense spending to NATO-agreed targets of 3.5% of GDP would likely clash with the economic reality of stretched public finances, especially in major southern European nations. BofA’s simulations show that “pushing core defense budgets to 3.5% by 2028 could increase government debt ratios between 2.4% and 4.1% above baseline levels” across these countries and others including Portugal and Greece. Meeting the 5% threshold presents even greater challenges, with “concerning debt sustainability implications, especially for Spain/Italy.” France and Italy are still “under the EU’s Excessive Deficit Procedure,” while Spain’s fiscal balances are “vulnerable given limited progress on fiscal consolidation.” Activation of defence funding instruments such as the National Escape Clause (NEC) and the Security Action for Europe (SAFE), two measures launched under the European Commission’s ReArm Europe Plan/Readiness 2030, has yet to translate into large-scale budget increases among key players. France, Italy, and Spain have not fully activated NEC, while Greece and Portugal have modestly utilized these measures. The complexity of this political and economic balancing act implies that a significant ramp-up in defense spending is unlikely to be quick or easy.“Ultimately, some heavy lifting at the EU level will be needed to help ease the burden.

BofA sees defense spending continuing to surge Investing.com - Bank of America highlighted accelerating defense spending growth in the United States and Europe, potentially benefiting major defense contractors. NATO allies agreed in late June to increase defense equipment spending to 3.5% of GDP by 2035, up from the previous 1.5% to 2% range, according to BofA’s analysis. The total national security spend target will reach 5% of GDP, marking a significant boost for the defense sector. European defense contractor stocks have performed well this year as markets anticipate stronger spending, though BofA notes that U.S. contractors may eventually lose some market share in Europe as countries invest in domestic defense industries. Certain U.S. programs like the F-35 fighter jet could remain dominant in Europe as they would take a decade or more to replace with domestic alternatives, while other equipment categories could be replaced more quickly by European manufacturers. BofA’s analysis also addressed the growing role of drones in modern warfare, implications for premium defense equipment, and whether fiscal year 2027 might see reduced U.S. defense spending despite current growth trends.

Canada promises to ramp up defense spending, meet NATO target much earlier (Makes clear Canada will meet target this fiscal year, not has already met it) TORONTO (Reuters) -Canada’s Liberal government will pour extra billions into its armed forces and hit NATO’s 2% military spending target this fiscal year, much earlier than scheduled, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Monday. Canada has been under heavy pressure from the United States and other NATO allies for years to increase funding for its military. Canada currently spends about 1.4% of GDP on defense. "Now is the time to act with urgency, force, and determination," Carney said in a speech in Toronto. The previous Liberal governent had promised to hit the NATO target by 2032. Canada will boost pay for the armed forces and buy new submarines, aircraft, ships, armed vehicles and artillery, as well as new radar, drones and sensors to monitor the sea floor and the Arctic, Carney said.

US prepares over $100 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia - Reuters The United States is preparing to offer Saudi Arabia an arms package valued at over $100 billion, Reuters reported citing several sources. This significant military proposal is expected to be announced during President Donald Trump’s visit to the kingdom in May. The arms deal surfaces after President Joe Biden’s administration was unable to conclude a defense agreement with Riyadh. The Biden administration had aimed to forge a comprehensive deal that would have included Saudi Arabia establishing diplomatic relations with Israel. The proposed arms package under the Trump administration follows previous attempts to secure a defense pact with Saudi Arabia. The Biden administration’s proposal included conditions such as halting Chinese arms purchases and limiting Beijing’s investments in Saudi Arabia. It also promised access to more advanced U.S. weaponry. It remains unclear whether the current offer from the Trump administration carries similar stipulations. The potential deal could bolster U.S. defense contractors, with Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:LMT) poised to provide an array of advanced weapons systems, including C-130 transport aircraft, missiles, and radars. RTX Corp is also anticipated to play a significant role in the arms deal, which is expected to involve contributions from other major U.S. defense firms such as Boeing Co (NYSE:BA), Northrop Grumman Corp (NYSE:NOC), and General Atomics. This arms package could signify a continuation of the Trump administration’s approach to arms sales with Saudi Arabia, which the president has lauded as beneficial for U.S. employment. However, the White House, Pentagon, and the Saudi government’s communications office have not yet issued any comments regarding the pending announcement. The defense companies involved in the potential deal, including Lockheed Martin, RTX, Northrop Grumman, and General Atomics, have declined to comment on the matter. Boeing has also not responded to inquiries regarding their involvement in the arms package. The sources who disclosed this information have requested anonymity, citing the sensitive nature of the discussions. This article was generated with the support of AI and reviewed by an editor.

Spain to up defence spending by $2.3 billion as NATO pressure grows MADRID (Reuters) - Spain will spend an additional 2.08 billion euros ($2.28 billion) on defence this year by reallocating funds to Defence Ministry procurement contracts, the government said on Tuesday, as the country faces pressure from NATO allies to meet its spending targets. Among the 32 members of NATO, Spain has the lowest defence spending as a share of its economic output, at just 1.3%. Getting to the alliance’s 2% target would require spending roughly an additional 10 billion euros ($10.8 billion) a year. The country had committed to spending 2% by 2029, although Madrid recently vowed to reach the target well before that year - without specifying the new timeline - as Europe readies for a rearmament push. "The government’s will is to reach (the 2% target) as soon as possible," government spokesperson Pilar Alegria told a news briefing after a cabinet meeting. She said the funds drawn from credit transfers would mainly be used for the "modernisation, maintenance and improvement of personnel, infrastructure and facilities" through existing contracts.

Australia to speed up $1 billion in defence spending in budget, says defence minister AVALON (Reuters) -Australia will bring forward A$1 billion in defence spending in Tuesday’s federal budget to boost its military capability, including guided weapons manufacture, an AUKUS submarine base and a frigate program, Defence Minister Richard Marles said on Monday. Australia and other United States security allies are under pressure from United States President Donald Trump to increase defence spending. Marles said the federal budget would contain an increase of A$10.6 billion (US$6.66 billion) for defence over the next four years, part of a previously announced A$50 billion boost over a decade, which he said was the most significant increase in defence spending since the end of the Second World War. "Part of the A$10.6 billion sees bringing forward an additional billion dollars and that is because of the need to accelerate Australia’s capability and development," Marles said at the Avalon Air Show in Victoria. "This will see us have ready HMAS Stirling, the Henderson Defence Precinct for the establishment of the Submarine Rotational Force West. This will see us move forward at a faster pace in establishing the Guided Weapons and Explosives Enterprise," he added. Up to four United States and one British-commanded nuclear-powered submarines will rotate through Australia’s biggest naval base, HMAS Stirling in Western Australia, from 2027 under AUKUS. The earlier spending will also accelerate the purchase of a frigate into the service fleet this decade, he said. On Monday, Australia said it had received the first two of 42 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) launcher vehicles ordered from Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT), while the manufacture of guided multiple launch rocket systems (GMLRS) would begin in Australia this year. Australia is focused on acquiring long-range strike capability and the HIMARS gives its defence force mobility to project into the region, Marles said. The truck-mounted system was used in the war in Ukraine, and can be moved by ship or Australia’s C-17 and C-130 aircraft, "so they are easily deployable across the region" for coastal operations, said Brigadier Nick Wilson. Australia will take delivery of the Precision Strike Missile, with a range of 500 kilometres, for use in HIMARS this year, said Defence Industry Minister Pat Conroy. ($1 = 1.5916 Australian dollars)
