Interest almost doubles military purchases bill to 10 billion

Jornal de Negócios4 September 2026 at 09:13

Interest almost doubles the military purchases bill to around 10 billion euros. The nominal cost of the rearmament program almost doubles, reaching close to 11 billion euros, with 4.9 billion corresponding only to interest to be paid until 2075.

The values presented are only a projection, since the European debt emissions that will finance the SAFE program have not yet been carried out. This means the final costs may vary depending on market conditions at the time of the emissions.
