Key Highlights

Defense expenditure of Sweden, estimated to be US$5.3 billion during 2010, registered a CARC of -1.93% during the review period. During the forecast period, the defense expenditure of the country is expected to grow at a CAGR of 0.36% to reach US$5.4 billion by 2015. Over the next five years, the country’s defense expenditure will be influenced largely due factors such as a strained relationship with Russia, acquisition of new defense systems and the country’s participation in international peacekeeping missions.

The country spent an average of 1.4% of its GDP towards defense expenditure during the review period. However, military spending as a percentage of GDP is expected to come down to an average of 1.1% during the forecast period as the annual GDP growth rate is higher than the defense budget growth rate of the country. An average of 47% of the total budget was earmarked for capital expenditure during 2004-08, but this share came down to 44% in 2009 due to a reduction in the purchase of defense equipment. During the forecast period, however capital expenditure is expected to increase to an average of 45% of the total defense expenditure due to a reduction in the total troop size of the armed forces resulting in a lesser revenue expenditure need.
