What will the 2024 Expo be like? MSPO has undoubtedly been the presentation platform for the global defence industry’s most outstanding achievements. MSPO is also abounds with business meetings and contracts concluded between manufacturers and the defence sector institutions from different continents. For 32 years, in the context of Europe’s defence industry expos, Kielce has come at par with Eurosatory in Paris and the Defence & Security Equipment International in London.
Poland’s purchasing plans will certainly influence on the offer presented at Kielce’s 2024 autumn expo. In 2024, Poland is to earmark PLN 113.3 billion for its defence, i.e. constitutes 3% of 2024 GDP forecast (PLN 3,778 billion). The expenses plan are included in part 29 of the state budget i.e., the “National Defence” section with the amount of PLN 112.7 billion as well as in the 752 section in other parts of the state budget. Additionally, funds for the implementation of the multi-annual program “Equipping the Polish Armed Forces with tanks” in the amount of PLN 4.8 billion were secured in the special budgetary reserve; these funds will be transferred to the Armed Forces Support Fund (FWSZ). Moreover, expenditures of approximately PLN 40 billion have been planned for defence purposes in the Armed Forces Support Fund FWSZ, including debt mechanisms. If these funds are fully utilised, the total defence expenditure in 2024 may amount to over PLN 158 billion.
