I count nine. Problem is, most of them are the smallest countries in NATO.

Six of the nine are: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Croatia, Slovak Republic, Greece

The official number is 11 as of July of this year, with more on the way, and all NATO countries meeting the goal of at least 20% on major new equipment.

“Whereas, while three members of NATO met the 2 percent
of GDP defense spending target in 2014, NATO reports
that as of July 2023, 11 allies met the 2 percent target,
and all 31 allies met the goal to allocate at least 20 percent of defense expenditure to major new equipment”


“Whereas 19 NATO allies have a plan to meet or exceed
NATO’s 2 percent of GDP defense spending target by
2024, and an additional seven members reportedly have
plans in place to meet the target between 2025 and
2030”
