World · Military spending (USD)

Military spending in current USD; enables volume comparison.· Every series comes from ONE dataset: the countries Citoyen covers and the world total are read together, from the same source and the same release. « Rest of the world » is the world total minus the 19 countries covered (the European Union is left out, it contains France, Germany and Italy and would be counted twice). The six largest countries on the indicator are drawn on their own, the other covered countries are grouped. A year is drawn only when every country and the world are published: a missing country would otherwise land in « rest of the world » as a fake jump.· Military expenditure in current US dollars at market exchange rates (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, published by the World Bank). SIPRI figures for some countries are estimates (China, Russia, Saudi Arabia). A country’s share moves with its exchange rate as well as with its spending.· Licence : SIPRI terms of use, reused with the source cited · source: SIPRI via the World Bank· Published Nov 11, 2026
