Finances make one of the most important ties connecting security and the system of national economy. Therefore, taking into consideration the character of contemporary armed conflicts, this statement gains more and more importance. Supporting such a stance, the author of the article wants to present synthetically the number of NATO military expenditures and changes that have undergone in this economic area, particularly in financial bases of NATO's power in the first decade of the 21st century. Such a definition of this area caused that the article raises issues of military expenditures global quota in the world, shaping tendency of defence expenditures in NATO countries and the idea of financing political and military activities undertaken by the Alliance (managing the common budget). The author shows explicitly a constant tendency of great diversification of the military expenditure levels in selected NATO countries and the lack of NATO's final consensus in reference to the system of financing future common tasks within the Alliance, what does not augur well both in the context of this organization's capabilities and management.
