Military expenditure by country

The ranking of countries on military spending presented on the website is based on the annual report of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). For some countries where spending on military needs is not published in open sources, the institute's experts give their own assessment based on the information received and comparing previous data and current activity in the defense and arms sectors for a particular state.

The presented data are necessary for the world community to analyze global security and defense policy. The report reflects which States pay the most attention to their military budgets and how resources are allocated to defense on a global scale.

The SIPRI bulletin includes data on military expenditures of 173 countries for the period from 1949 to 2023. For a better understanding of the difference, data on military expenditures are presented in a single currency - US dollars.
