How this figure is calculated

Arms imports (SIPRI trend indicator values) divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.

Arms imports (SIPRI trend indicator values) ÷ GDP (current US$)

Computed from

  • Arms imports Arms Transfers Programme, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI)
  • GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks

Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
