World military expenditure is estimated to have been $1776 billion in 2014, a fall of 0.4 per cent in real terms compared to 2013.1 This is the third consecutive year in which total global expenditure has decreased, although the rate of decline slowed in 2014 (see table 9.1 and figures 9.1 and 9.2). However, military spending was still 21 per cent higher in real terms than in 2005. Total world military expenditure as a share of global gross domestic product (GDP)— the global ‘military burden’— fell slightly in 2014 to around 2.3 per cent.
