Lithuania plans 35% increase in 2016 defence budget

Lithuania intends to expand its defence budget by 35.2% in 2016, according to the country's new draft budget released on 28 September.
Total expenditure on defence is expected to reach EUR574 million (USD644 million).
Under the increase planned for 2016, the Ministry of Defence's (MoD's) budget will grow to 1.5% of gross domestic product (GDP), up from 1.1% in 2015.

The boost to spending follows a March 2014 announcement by Lithuanian Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevicius that cross-party agreement had been achieved to raise military spending to 2% of GDP by 2020, a move sparked by Russia's annexation of Crimea in Ukraine the same month.

More than 50% of funding will be allocated to cover personnel expenses following the Lithuanian government's decision to re-introduce conscription in the wake of the crisis in Ukraine and deteriorating relations with Russia, according to the MoD. The reintroduction of national service will involve 3,000 to 3,500 personnel being called up annually for a period of nine months.

At least 20% of the budget will be used to procure defence equipment. Lithuania signed a EUR58.3 million (USD65.4 million) contract with Germany on 29 September for 21 Panzerhaubitze 2000 (PzH 2000) 155 mm self-propelled artillery (SPA) systems. Other short-term priorities include acquiring new infantry fighting vehicles, anti-tank and anti-aircraft systems, communications, and airspace surveillance equipment.
