    And, instead of increase of decrease, this link shows the defense spending as % of GDP in 2025. Also note that EU classification of defense spending( (COFOG), is stricter than NATO’, so that’s why there are sometimes discrepancies.

        Yes, It was this statement from your OP which made me curious :

        “Spain and Norway increased military spending by roughly 50% in 2025, the fastest growth among the world’s top defense spenders.”

        So now we have relative and absolute perc.✌🏻
