The global total military expenditure of US$1981 billion in 2020 was heavily skewed towards two of the world’s five regions.1 The Americas (43 per cent) and Asia and Oceania (27 per cent) together account for more than two-thirds of the world total. Europe was the region with the third highest spending in 2020, with 19 per cent of the total. Africa accounted for the smallest share, with only 2.2 per cent of global military expenditure. The Middle East is estimated to have accounted for roughly 9.0 per cent of the total.
