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.

Only historical adopted-budget figures for 1994–1999 are available. Classification changes affect comparability. Current spending is not established.

Military expenditure · share of GDP 1994–1999
Coverage and method

SIPRI’s published military-budget observations as a percentage of GDP for the same calendar year. The country is marked as adopted budgets, rather than actual expenditure.

Historical adopted-budget observations, not verified execution. SIPRI flags classification changes in Turkmenistan’s public accounts and no information after 1999 (country note 53). No missing year or current spending trend is inferred.

Scope

Source review through 1 November 2026. Personnel estimates cover 1992–2020; SIPRI’s adopted-budget figures stop in 1999 and change scope with public-account classifications. No current defence-only budget is inferred from whole-state totals. US fiscal-year programmes, supplier export authorisations, declared transfers and public displays remain separate measures. Local shipyard work does not establish wholly domestic production.

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.
