## Prediction

Within 30 days, the combination of Germany’s massive rearmament, surging NATO and Middle Eastern defense spending, and escalating conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East will lock in a global defense supercycle, diverting capital and political attention from civilian infrastructure and climate investments. Defense equities and dual-use technology firms will outperform broader markets, while debates over fiscal space and social spending intensify, especially in Europe. This structural shift will reshape industrial policy choices and supply chains for years. Confirmation would include multi-country defense budget hikes, major new procurement announcements, and rising order backlogs; a contrary scenario would be strong domestic pushback forcing scaling back or delay of headline plans.

## Drivers

- Germany’s €838bn rearmament plan
- Sustained trend of Western and Middle Eastern defense spending surge
- Rising perceived threats from Russia, Iran, and regional instability
