Denmark has seen cuts in its military expenditure from 2015 to 2017, following the Ministry of Defence’s (MoD) mandate to save $500m a year on defence expenditure with the objective of reducing the country’s debt.
The nation’s defence expenditure registered a declining growth rate of -7.96% from 2013 to 2017.
SDI forecasts the same trend to continue, with defence expenditure as a percentage of GDP forecasted to reduce from 0.96% in the current year to 0.72% at the end of the forecast period.
Expenditure on homeland security also declined at a CAGR of -6.18%, from $3.2bn to $2.5bn, between 2013 and 2017. However, this is expected to increase over the next five years at a CAGR of 0.54%, due to efforts to counter internal security threats and spending on border defence.
