Israel's domestic and regional security situation remains volatile. BMI thinks that the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is a short-term solution for temporary peace. However, we expect a likely resumption of hostilities in the not too distant future. We are currently most concerned about the rising tensions across the West Bank. We also expect the number of Christian draftees into the army to increase without notable impact to the size of the army.

Defence spending remains a top priority for the Singaporean government which is executing a prudent military procurement agenda with a long-term outlook that will transcend the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) into a third generation fighting force. In the future, we expect to see sustained levels of weapons imports from American and European arms manufacturers, as well as continued support for domestic defence company, ST Engineering. The key downside risk Singapore's defence expenditure stems from a GDP downturn, but we forecast positive and stable economic growth through to 2018.

The significant 17.5% year-on-year (y-o-y) increase in defence spending for 2015 is due to an increase in the value of the local currency. A second extension to the interim deal on the nuclear program in November 2013 seems the best outcome if the parties fail to reach a deal within the context of the P5+1 talks by the November 24 deadline. A short term non-admitted tactical cooperation to combat the Islamic State (IS) between Iran and the West is possible, long-term cooperation is questionable.

While opportunities exist in the Philippines defence market in the short term, opportunities in the medium-to-long term are far from certain. Although the defence spending is increasing, there is a need to place it within a regional perspective. We think that the risk of Philippine involvement in an interstate conflict has increased slightly over the last quarter. Also, the scaling back of US support for the Philippines counter-terrorism program may not bode well in the long term.

As Malaysia enters a new financial year, we expect to see an upward trend in military and defence procurement. 2014 saw very little activity in the defence sector as the government reviewed its defence procurement strategy. The release of a new five year development plan and a review of Malaysia's defence offsetting programme could yield changes for the indigenous defence sector in 2015. However, we forecast a marginal rise in defence spending, which remains a low priority for the government which is trying to address a budget deficit. Meanwhile, Malaysia enjoys peace and stability with regards to internal and external security threats. Key concerns include continued incursions by Filipino groups and rising piracy in regional waters.

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.

2014 has witnessed defence policy changes which carry significant implications from the national defence sector, and Japan's role in regional and international security. Notable, constitutional changes have edged Japan towards military normalisation, paving the way for a more active role in regional security. Meanwhile, the domestic defence industry is now permitted to export technology and is being actively encouraged to engage in international joint ventures, yielding fresh opportunities for the international defence market. In line with this increasingly assertive military policy, the Ministry of Defence has requested a record 3.5% budget increase, which will be used to fund major new acquisitions in maritime and air security.

The Vietnamese defence sector is quickly opening up to foreign companies. Rising tension with China necessitates development of new defence relationships, as well as modernisation and expansion of the national defence forces. Meanwhile, strong economic growth is increasing the financing available for procurement of new military hardware .

Like many aspects of its defence posture, China keeps its annual defence budget secret, nevertheless, it is possible to make an accurate estimate regarding what the country spends annually on defence. To this end, we expect China's defence budget to reach USD132bn in 2014. By 2018, we expect China's defence budget to reach USD187bn.

Information regarding the size of Syria's annual defence budget is difficult to locate, since the country erupted into civil war in 2011. It is, however, possible to provide an accurate estimate of the size of the country's annual defence budget. For example, in 2014, we expect Syria's defence budget to reach USD3bn. For the remainder of the forecast period, up to and including 2018, we expect Syria to spend an average of USD4.9bn on defence. We predict Syria's defence spending to reach USD5.7bn by 2018.

Sudan is almost wholly dependent on the import of military equipment and services. It sources considerable supplies of equipment from Russia and China, both of which are willing to furnish the regime with arms despite it being under a number of major international sanctions. A key driver behind the expansion of its military capabilities will remain the deteriorating situation in South Sudan and the ongoing violence between warring factions, opposition groups and Government authorities.
