NATO agrees its 2026 common funded budgets, strengthening Allied resolve in a new era of collective defence
17 December 2025
1 MIN READ
On Tuesday 16 December 2025, at a meeting of the North Atlantic Council, Allies agreed NATO’s common-funded budgets for 2026. Allied defence spending is on an upward trajectory with Allies increasingly investing in their national forces as well as collective capabilities.
The Civil Budget for 2026 has been set at EUR 528.2 million while the Military Budget has been set at EUR 2.42 billion. Allies’ continued commitment to common funding is both politically visible, and practically valuable.
The 2026 common funded budgets will support critical capabilities and promote readiness, making the Alliance stronger, fairer and more lethal. More specifically, the 2026 Military Budget will contribute to NATO’s military adaptation, Allied interoperability, crisis prevention and management, and cooperative security. It will continue to support the integrated NATO Command Structure, NATO-led training and exercises, Alliance Operations and Missions, and capacity building support to partners. The 2026 Civil Budget will continue to support Allied consultations and decision-making, and the activities of the NATO Headquarters.
