In terms of military expenditure as a percentage of GDP the report expect a slight decrease during the forecast period, as the country’s annual GDP growth rate is larger than the predicted growth rate of the Swedish defense budget.

The part of Swedish defense budget allocated for capital expenditure, was decreased in 2010, due to a reduction in the acquisition of defense equipment.
