The military is forbidden from undertaking commercial activity or seeking external funding. Thus, it is completely dependent on government disbursals for funding. The government spends an average 30% of its annual expenditure on the military which is approximately 35 billion KRB which is around 4.4% of GDP (3.9% when excluding military aid).
