Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 10/24/2014 --BMI expects Greece to spend up to USD6.2bn on defence in 2014. On average, Greece has spent USD6.6bn on defence between 2010 and 2013. Generally, we have observed a downward trend as far as Greek defence spending is concerned during this period. This is not altogether surprising as the country has been in the grip of a severe financial crisis which has prompted widespread and dramatic cuts on public spending. For the remainder of the forecast period, we expect Greece to spend an average of USD5.7bn on defence between 2015 and 2018.

Greece is one of a handful of NATO nations which frequently spends in excess of two percent of its GDP on defence. Greece has succeeded in maintaining defence spending at above two percent of its GDP between 2010 and 2013. We expect this trend to continue for the remainder of the forecast period.

We have given Greece an overall security risk rating of 70 for Q414. On average, the country has scored an overall risk rating of 71 for the period January 2007 until Q414. We believe Greece to have a moderate risk of becoming involved in a major interstate conflict. Similarly, we believe that the country has a risk of experiencing a major terrorist attack, and also that it is at risk from significant criminal activity.

It was reported in mid-August 2014 that Rheinmetall will supply the Hellenic Army with 12,000 rounds of 120mm ammunition for the country's Leopard-2 Main Battle Tanks. The order is worth EUR52mn to the company. This is the first purchase of 120mm ammunition that Greece has made to arm these tanks. Deliveries of the ammunition are expected to be completed by 2016.

Finally, the Hellenic Navy announced in mid-June 2014 that it would complete a long-stalled order for three Type-214 conventional submarines from Germany. The first boat is expected to be completed by the end of 2014, with the remaining two boats to be delivered by 2016.
