Georgia's small defense budget and the proposed arms embargo make the market unattractive

Defense expenditure recorded a CAGR of 4.52% during the review period. The country is expected to spend US$370.3 million in 2011 for defense-related activities and the budget is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.00% during the forecast period, stabilizing at 3.0% of GDP by 2014 to reach an estimated US$485.3 million by 2015. The defense budget is primarily driven by threats from Russia, NATO membership requirements and the Defense Ministry's military modernization plans. During the review period an average of 33.0% of the total defense budget was allocated for capital expenditure while an average of 67% of the defense budget was allocated for revenue expenses. Capital expenditure, estimated to be an average of 23.0% of the total defense budget in 2011, is expected to increase to 31.0% of the total defense budget by 2015.
