「戦争」に予算をつぎ込むロシア…来年の国防費は「GDPの6%」
Russia spends its budget on “war”…Next year’s defense spending will be “6% of GDP”
Since the invasion of Ukraine in February last year, Russia's defense spending has continued to increase through the roof, and is expected to rise to 6% of GDP (gross domestic product) next year. Also, it is said to be “confidential” and “unspecified”.
Nominal spending will roughly double. Bloomberg reported, ``After obtaining and analyzing Russia's draft budget plan, we found that next year's defense spending will increase to 6% of GDP.''
This was reported on the 22nd (local time). The proportion of defense spending in Russia's GDP was 2.7% in 2021, before the war, but this year it has increased to 3.9%.
In addition to unprecedented international sanctions, and with the presidential election due in March next year, defense spending is expected to exceed social welfare spending.
Changes in the Russian government's budget plan are also changing the government's policy priorities due to endless wars that induce huge financial losses.
It is interpreted as indicating that something is changing. According to a report from Bloomberg News, Russia's total budget for next year will be 36.6 trillion rubles (approximately 56.4033 trillion yen), which is expected to increase from this year.
will also be increased by 15%. Defense spending is expected to increase from 6.5 trillion rubles (approximately 10.17 trillion yen) this year to 10.8 trillion rubles (approximately 16.6436 trillion yen) next year.
It will be done. This is about three times the amount of 3.6 trillion rubles (approximately 5.547 trillion yen) in 2021, which was just before the invasion of Ukraine.
This year's secret expenditures, classified as "confidential" and "unspecified", amounted to 6.5 trillion rubles (
It will rise from approximately 10.17 trillion yen) to 11.1 trillion rubles (approximately 17.1059 trillion yen) next year, which is twice as much as in 2021. Also, this is the aftermath of the war.
This can be interpreted as an increase in secret spending in an attempt to avoid investigation into the wave.
