President signs act on military expenditures

Outgoing President Bronisław Komorowski has signed an act that increases army spending to two percent of the GDP, starting in 2016.

Currently Poland's military expenditures stand at 1.95 percent of GDP, which translated into PLN 32 billion last year. According to the Ministry of Defense, when the new law takes effect, military expenditures will grow by some PLN 1 billion. Increasing military spending is in line with NATO's provisions approved by its members at last year's  summit.
