National reports on arms exports - Developments in 2014

Since the early 1990s a growing number of governments have published national reports giving details of their arms exports. As of January 2015,  35 states had published at least one national report on arms exports since 1990. Of those, only 3 had failed to issue a report since 2009. Of the 32 states that have reported since 2009, 31 provided information about arms export licences granted, and 26 included information about actual arms exports. In 2014 no state produced a national report on arms exports that had not done so previously.
