Government summary of draft federal budget · FY 2027; financial plan through 2030The cabinet-approved government draft proposes €109.7bn in the defence ministry's own budget, with the Bundeswehr special fund additional. It combines infrastructure and research investment with departmental savings and higher spirits/alcopop and tobacco taxes. This is the ministry's summary of a proposal, not an enacted budget. Special-fund amounts and state programmes must not be treated as comparable national totals. No matched current federal opposition budget is verified.
