World military expenditure fell in 2012, for the first time since 1998. The world total is estimated to have been $1756 billion, which is 0.4 per cent lower in real terms than in 2011. Military expenditure as a share of global gross domestic product (GDP)—the global ‘military burden’—also remained stable, at around 2.5 per cent (see table 3.1). The 2008 global financial crisis and subsequent economic turmoil, combined with the winding down of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, has clearly led to an end to the overall trend of rising military spending that started in 1999.
