Key Highlights

The French total defense budget includes acquisition, operation and maintenance (O&M) expenses and other defense funds. The Armed Forces’ total budget has increased from US$46.5 billion in 2016 to US$53.9 billion in 2020, featuring a 3% CAGR over the historic period.
The budget for FY2020 shows a decline when applied to the US$ exchange rate, but the French government actually boasts its third consecutive year of increase, following President Macron’s commitment to bolster the French defense apparatus.
Facing a multiplicity of threats, including jihadist activity in Sahel and the return to great power competition against Russia and China, France’s strategy is aiming at ensuring the country’s sovereignty and global position militarily. On this background, the government intends to close the gap with its 2% of GDP defense budget commitment before 2025.
For the second year of the current Military Planning Law (Loi de programmation militaire, LPM) 2019-2025, the French government pledged an annual EUR1.7 billion increase in the defense budget until 2022, and then EUR3 billion until 2025.
2020 will see an increase from US$51.5 billion to US$53.9 billion, reflecting the governmental objective of EUR1.7 billion. Interestingly, most of this increase will go to the acquisition budget, bolstering the French armed forces procurement and RDT&E efforts.
The acquisition share in the total FY2020 defense budget will climb to 27.3%, from 24.5% in FY2019, for an absolute value of US$14.7 billion. This increase represents a growth of 17%, unseen during the historic period.
