Estonia raises its military spending above 5% of GDP in its new budget
Why now
Thesis: European defense spending keeps climbing
Catalyst to watch: Other NATO members matching 5% targets
Main risk: Wider deficits lift borrowing costs
Why it matters
Higher Estonian defense spending adds to European fiscal deficits and sovereign issuance, pressuring bonds while supporting defense demand.
