Key Highlights:

The annual defense budget of Italy in 2009 stood at US$28.3 billion, which is inclusive of homeland security , defense function and other non-essential expenditures of the military. The defense function budget of Italys armed forces stood at US$20 billion in 2009, recording a CAGR of 2.59% during the review period. However, this is expected to decline at a CARC of -0.64% during the forecast period, to reach US$18.2 billion by 2015. The total defense budget of Italy is also expected to decline at a CARC of -0.84%, to reach US$25.7 billion by 2015. This decline is due to the austerity measures adopted by all ministries in order to reduce the fiscal debt of the country.

Furthermore, total defense expenditure as a percentage of GDP is expected to decrease from an average of 1.3% during the review period to 1.1% by 2015 due to cuts to the budget. The defense function budget is also expected to decline from 0.9% of GDP in 2009 to 0.8% by 2015. Despite this, Italian defense expenditure will continue to be driven by the modernization program of the armed forces and the countrys participation in NATO and UN peacekeeping missions.
