Summary/Abstract: Despite a huge increase in France’s budget deficit related to the coronavirus pandemic, the government does not intend to abandon its plan of boosting military spending in 2021. It justifies it by the deterioration of the security situation in the wider EU neighbourhood and the importance of the defence sector to the French economy. The increased spending may be followed by consolidation of this sector on both the national and European levels.
