1) in 2015 - at least 1.0 per cent of the amount of the gross domestic product forecasted for the respective year;

2) in 2016 - at least 1.1 per cent of the amount of the gross domestic product forecasted for the respective year;

3) in 2017 - at least 1.3 per cent of the amount of the gross domestic product forecasted for the respective year;

4) in 2018 - at least 1.5 per cent of the amount of the gross domestic product forecasted for the respective year;

5) in 2019 - at least 1.75 per cent of the amount of the gross domestic product forecasted for the respective year;

6) in 2020 and subsequent years - at least 2 per cent of the amount of the gross domestic product forecasted for the respective year.

(2) Based on the situation of national defence, the Cabinet may, during implementation of the State budget, examine the possibilities to perform reallocation of appropriation for increasing defence financing - for long-term development projects (investments) on a priority basis.
