Coverage, currency and methodology

USD at each amount’s reference-period average exchange rate. Original amounts, rate periods and sources are available below. Current-year conversions are provisional; values are not adjusted for inflation.

National budget figures and the SIPRI statistical series can use different scopes and accounting bases. They are shown separately and must not be added together. Missing figures are not zero spending.

SIPRI estimates the defence share of the combined Defence, Public Order and Security budget line and includes an estimate for paramilitary forces. This is broader than a Ministry of Defence-only account.

Military expenditure · share of GDP 1992–2025

Coverage and method

SIPRI military-spending estimate as a percentage of GDP in the same calendar year. The national-budget defence component and qualifying paramilitary spending are estimated from a broader combined function. Ratios are retained as published, not recalculated from this Observatory’s separate national budget records.

SIPRI estimates the defence share of the combined Defence, Public Order and Security budget, including an estimate for paramilitary forces (country note 52). This is not a verified Ministry of Defence-only account. Missing years remain unavailable.

Scope

Source review through 1 November 2026. Historical national defence accounts cover 1994–2003 and remain separate from SIPRI’s broader estimates through 2025. No defence-only current budget is inferred from combined security totals. Personnel estimates stop in 2020. Programme accounts use U.S. fiscal years; Dastan employment covers the whole issuer. Announcements, declared transfers, handovers and public displays remain distinct.

Method & coverage

This is a curated public-source reference, not a complete inventory. Each record identifies an event or publication date, implementation stage and evidence type; the detail explains which date is known. An official report establishes what the issuer said; a contract does not establish delivery, and delivery does not establish readiness. Unknown quantities remain unknown. Records count publications or developments, not weapons, personnel or military strength.

Official report: The issuing institution reports the event or figure; this is not independent corroboration.
Independently corroborated: Distinct independent evidence supports the specific recorded claim.
Estimate: A sourced estimate, with its method and limits retained.
Unresolved: The available evidence does not establish the specific point.
