    Global defense-spending signals

    Annual military-expenditure burden signals from the World Bank World Development Indicators (SIPRI via WDI, 1960 ->, % of GDP, keyless): per-economy 5-year changes, 10-year OLS trend slopes, 3-sigma anomaly flags, linear-extrapolation forecasts, 10-year z-scores, per-year cross-country ranks, and high/low spender and rearmament-surge flags. The defense-burden lens — rearmament waves and drawdowns normalized across economies — not covered elsewhere in the catalog. Country labels normalized to ISO alpha-3. Raw data: World Bank WDI indicator MS.MIL.XPND.GD.ZS.

    Military expenditure (% of GDP)

    Military expenditure by country as a percentage of gross domestic product, on the SIPRI/NATO definition: all current and capital spending on the armed forces including peacekeeping forces, defence ministries and other government agencies engaged in defence projects, paramilitary forces trained and equipped for military operations, and military space activities. Veterans' benefits, demobilization, conversion and civilian defence are excluded. The World Bank publishes the indicator in the World Development Indicators from the SIPRI Military Expenditure Database. Values are null where national statistics are unavailable and are never interpolated. Units: percent of GDP.
