APAC Defense Budgets Least Affected By COVID-19 | 亚太地区国防预算受新冠疫情影响最小

与全球其他地区相比，由于新冠疫情在亚太地区（APAC）产生的经济影响相对有限，因此《Aviation Week Network - 航空周刊》的分析师预计，短暂放缓后，整个地区的国防预算将在未来五年内继续以强劲的速度增长。

As a result of the relatively limited economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Asia-Pacific (APAC) compared to other regions around the world, Aviation Week analysts expect that defence budgets throughout the region will continue to expand at robust rates over the next five years, following a brief slowdown. 

从长远来看，持续的经济增长加上该地区的政治局势紧张加剧，这将推动该地区的国防开支进一步增加。各国通常将新装备研发和采购的开支放在优先位置，以帮助军力的现代化。

In the longer term, continued economic growth combined with heightened regional tensions will drive further increases in the region’s defense spending with countries generally prioritising spending on new equipment in order to aid military modernisation.

亚太地区的军用飞机市场也将继续表现强劲。AWIN的“2021年军事预测”表明，亚太、南亚和中东地区的军用飞机机队是全球增长最快的，其中全球制造商向亚太和南亚地区交付的军机将占全球的1/3。

The military aircraft market in APAC will also continue to enjoy strong performance. Aviation Week Network’s 2021 Military Forecast projects fleet growth will be fastest in APAC, South Asia and the Middle East, with one in three aircraft deliveries expected to be made to operators in APAC and South Asia.
