NATO
Homepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskEmerging Markets NewsPolitical Risk BulletBulletMarketsFixed Income NewsForeign Exchange News

NATO has confirmed that its next informal meeting of foreign ministers will take place in the Norwegian capital Oslo from 31 May to 1 June, ahead of the NATO leaders summit taking place in Vilnius, Lithuania from 11-12 July.

  • Comes as Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg calls for an increase in the minimum level of defence spending for NATO members to rise above the current 2% of GDP. Speaking to Die Welt, Stoltenberg says that "I assume that there will be a new target for defence spending when we meet for the NATO summit [...] The two percent target was initially for a decade, so until 2024, so we have to update it now [...] I assume that it will be a more ambitious target than before, because everybody sees that we need to invest more,"
  • A number of NATO members find themselves in difficult fiscal positions, dealing with declining growth/recession but at the same time facing significantly increased threats to security. The outcomes will see either defence spending lagging behind posing a risk to security outlooks, or an increase in debt/deficit-fueled military spending to counter potential Russian threats.
