๐ช๐บ๐ฃ๐ Poland Eyes EU Deficit Exemption to Sustain Defense Spending Surge
๐น Summary:
Poland is poised to seek an exemption from EU borrowing limits to maintain high defense spending amid fears of Russian aggression, but worries the effort could stall without broader member support.
The EU's proposed "national escape clause" would allow countries to bypass deficit rules for defense investment, though major economies remain skeptical of increasing debt.
๐น Key Points:
โข Poland may invoke the EUโs national escape clause by end-April to support defense spending.
โข Only Portugal has expressed similar interest; Italy, Spain, and France remain hesitant.
โข The clause allows 1.5% of GDP in additional annual defense spending without triggering EU sanctions.
โข Poland backs the โฌ150B SAFE joint borrowing plan but says itโs insufficient to meet EU security needs.
โข Broader EU defense funding ideas, like a rearmament bank, remain under discussion with no resolution in sight.
