France has racked up a mountain of national debt to reach a debt-to-GDP ratio of 113 per cent last year, behind only Greece and Italy. The budget deficit was also among the highest at 5.8 per cent of GDP at the end of 2024, far higher than the EU limit of 3 per cent.
Finland plans to raise its defence spending to 5% of gross domestic product by 2032, Prime Minister Petteri Orpo said.
Addition:
Sweden backs NATO’s 5% GDP Defense Spending, too, and so did already many other countries as you’ll find on the web.
