Allies agreed NATO’s common-funded budgets for 2025 at a meeting of the North Atlantic Council on Tuesday (17 December 2024). These budgets enable a range of NATO structures and activities, from ensuring a well-functioning command structure and improving interoperability and readiness to supporting cooperation with partners and more.

The Civil Budget for 2025 is set at EUR 483.3 million, and the Military Budget at EUR 2.37 billion, representing a 10% and 9% increase respectively over 2024. These common-funded budgets are distinct from the defence spending often discussed in the NATO context and together amount to less than 0.02% of Allied defence spending.
