#Sweden plans to increase its defense budget by 28%, or a total of SEK 27 billion (US$2.4 billion). Of that amount, approximately 700 million kronor ($63 million) will be spent on Sweden's future #NATO membership, thus reaching a military expenditure of 2% of GDP as set by the alliance.

"We are in the most serious security policy situation since the end of World War II, which requires Sweden to have a defense ready to protect Swedish territory," said Defense Minister Pål #Jonson.
