Source: SIPRI Yearbook 2007, appendix 8A, table 8A.1 and table 8A.3, and the SIPRI Military Expenditure Database.
Note: Sub-regional totals are presented within brackets when based on country data accounting for less than 90% of the regional total. No data are presented when the estimate would be based on data accounting for less than 60% of the sub-regional total.
(a) The world total and the totals for regions in this table are estimates, based on data in constant (2005) US$ in the SIPRI Military Expenditure Database. When military expenditure data for a country are missing for a few years, estimates are made, most often on the assumption that the rate of change in that country’s military expenditure is the same as that for the region to which it belongs. When no estimates can be made, countries are excluded from the totals. The countries excluded from all totals are Angola, Benin, Cuba, Equatorial Guinea, Guyana, Haiti, Iraq, Myanmar (Burma), North Korea, Qatar, Somalia, Trinidad and Tobago and Viet Nam. For the country coverage of the regions, see Regional coverage.
