Key Highlights

The defense expenditure of Norway, which was estimated at US$5.7 billion in 2010, registered a CAGR of 4.24% during the review period and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.27% during the forecast period, to reach US$6.4 billion by 2015. The expected increase in the country's military spending is mainly due to its involvement in international peacekeeping missions, border disputes with Russia and the expected expansion of home guard training activities. Norwegian defense expenditure as a percentage of GDP stood at an average of 1.5% during the review period; however, this figure is expected to decrease to an average of 1.4% during the forecast period. One of the key reasons for this decline is that the country's economy is expected to grow faster than its total defense expenditure.
