Military spending

This is a 'list of countries by military expenditures' using the latest information available. Some of the information is from the United States' Central Intelligence Agency's ''World Factbook''.[1]
Note that for some countries, no information was available to the World Factbook's compilers; these countries were omitted from the list. Consequently, the total world expenditure on armed forces is likely to be much higher than that given.

Comparisons between figures in this table should be used with caution. See the notes below regarding the figures for the People's Republic of China. There are, however, other comparison issues inherent with these figures: for example, France includes in its defence expenditure the cost of maintaining the Gendarmerie, which is primarily used for what would be described in the United Kingdom, for example, as an internal police matter. Consequently, there is no corresponding expenditure made in the UK's defence budget.

Stockholm International Peace Research Institute Figures


This is a 'list of the fifteen countries with the highest defence budgets' for the year 2005. The information is the most up-to-date from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute,[14] which is used to calculate defense spending by the British Ministry of Defence and many other government ministries in the European Union. Total World spending amounted to $1.0 trillion in 2005, with about half of the total amount spent by the United States.

List of Countries by Military Expenditure as a percentage of GDP


Below is a list of countries ranked by order of military expenditure as a percentage of GDP. This statistic reflects the importance of military buildup and army modernization for all countries. It also indicated how much prioirty each country places in military expenditure.
The greater a country spends on its military as a percentage of its GDP, the less money it will have to spend on other crucial aspects such as infrastructure and education, and the more likely it will come under scrutiny from other countries. [15]
The trend is that developing countries, especially Middle Eastern countries with emerging markets due to their oil wealth, and countries in proximity of conflict zones seem to be spending the most as a percentage of their GDP to modernize their military and to try to catch up with Western countries, which spend less as a result of having built a strong modernized military over the past few decades.
