    Defense spending by NATO European countries has been gradually increasing both in absolute terms and as a percentage of GDP. In 2024, defense expenditure in Europe is estimated to reach $380 billion, up from $347 billion in 2023. This increase represents 2% of GDP for NATO European countries, up from 1.85% in 2023. While defense spending has risen in recent years, it remains below the NATO guideline of 2% of GDP for many European allies.
