    Appendix 5A. Military expenditure data, 1999–2008

    I. Introduction This appendix presents the SIPRI military expenditure data (tables 5A.1–5A.4) and describes the sources and methods for the data (section II). Table 5A.1 pre-sents military expenditure by region, by certain international organizations and by income group for the period 1999–2008 in US dollars at constant (2005) prices and exchange rates, and also for 2008 in current US dollars. Military expenditure by individual countries is presented in table 5A.2 in local currency at current prices for the period 1999–2008 and in table 5A.3 in US dollars at constant (2005) prices and exchange rates for the period 1999–2008 and for 2008 in current US dollars. Table 5A.4 presents military expenditure for the period 1999–2007 as a percentage of countries’ gross domestic product (GDP). Notes and explanations of the conventions used appear below table 5A.4. Con-version to constant US dollars has been made using market exchange rates (MERs) for all countries. The data is presented on a calendar-year basis.

    Military expenditure data from different editions of the SIPRI Yearbook should not be combined because the data series are continuously revised and updated. This is true in particular for the most recent years as figures for budget allocations are replaced by figures for actual expenditure. In some cases entire series are revised as new and better data become available. Revisions in constant dollar series can also be caused by significant revisions in the eco-nomic statistics of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that are used for these calculations. Changes in base years and method of currency conversion also hinder comparison between editions of the SIPRI Yearbook. The SIPRI Military Expenditure Database, accessible at , includes consistent series dating back to 1988 for most countries. Data for the

  • MILITARY EXPENDITURE 213

    years 1950–87—published in previous editions of the SIPRI Yearbook—cannot always be combined with the post-1987 data since SIPRI conducted a major review of the data for many countries for the period beginning in 1988.

    II. Sources and methods The purpose of the data

    The main purpose of the data on military expenditure is to provide an easily identifiable measure of the scale of resources absorbed by the military. Military expenditure is an input measure, which is not directly related to the ‘output’ of military activities, such as military capability or military security. Long-term trends in military expenditure and sudden changes in trend may be signs of a change in military output, but interpretations of this type should be made with caution.

    The purpose of the specific tables are as follows. The country data on mili-tary expenditure in local currency at current prices (table 5A.2) is the original data for all the other tables. This is provided to contribute to transparency and to enable comparison with data reported in government sources and else-where. Data in constant dollars is provided to allow for comparison over time for individual countries (table 5A.3) and for regions, organizations and income groups, as well as for the world total (table 5A.1). Data in current dollars for the most recent year (here 2008) is provided for the purpose of international com-parison across countries (table 5A.3) and across regions (table 5A.1). The cur-rent dollar figures also facilitate comparison with other economic indicators, which are often expressed in current dollar terms. Data on military expend-iture as a share of GDP is provided (in table 5A.4) as an indicator of the pro-portion of a country’s resources used for military activities, that is, as an indi-cator of the economic burden of military expenditure, also called the defence burden or the military burden.

    The coverage of the data

    The military expenditure data in tables 5A.1–5A.4 covers 168 countries for the 10-year period 1999–2008. Total military expenditure figures are calculated for three types of country groupings—geographical region, international organiza-tion and country income group (categorized by gross national income per capita). The coverage of each of these groupings is provided in the notes to table 5A.1.

    The definition of military expenditure

    The guideline definition of military expenditure used by SIPRI includes expenditure on the following actors and activities: (a) the armed forces, including peacekeeping forces; (b) defence ministries and other government agencies engaged in defence projects; (c) paramilitary forces, when judged to be trained and equipped for military operations; and (d ) military space activ-ities. It includes all current and capital expenditure on: (a) military and civil

  • 214 MILITARY SPENDING AND ARMAMENTS, 2008

    personnel, including retirement pensions of military personnel and social ser-vices for personnel; (b) operations and maintenance; (c) procurement; (d ) mili-tary research and development; and (e) military aid (in the military expend-iture of the donor country). It does not include civil defence and current expenditure for past military activities, such as for veterans’ benefits, demobil-ization, conversion and weapon destruction. While this definition serves as a guideline, in practice it is often difficult to adhere to due to data limitations.

    The limitations of the data

    There are three main types of limitations of the data: reliability, validity and comparability.

    The main problems of reliability are due to the less than comprehensive coverage of official military expenditure data, the lack of detailed information on military expenditure and the lack of data on actual, rather than budgeted, military expenditure. In many countries the official data covers only a part of total military expenditure. Important items can be hidden under non-military budget headings or can even be financed entirely outside the government budget. Many such extra-budgetary and off-budget mechanisms are employed in practice.1

    The validity of expenditure data depends on the purpose for which it is used. Since expenditure data is a measure of monetary input, its most valid use is as an indicator of the economic resources consumed for military purposes. For the same reason, its utility as an indicator of military strength or capability is limited. While military expenditure does have an impact on military capability, so do many other factors such as the balance between personnel and equip-ment, the technological level of military equipment, and the state of main-tenance and repair, as well as the overall security environment in which the armed forces are to be employed.

    The comparability of the data is limited by two different types of factor: the varying coverage (or definition) of the data and the method of currency con-version. The coverage of official data on military expenditure varies signifi-cantly between countries and over time for the same country. For the con-version into a common currency, as discussed below, the choice of exchange rate makes a great difference in cross-country comparisons. This is a general problem in international comparisons of economic data and is not specific to military expenditure. However, since international comparison of military expenditure is often a sensitive issue, it is important to bear in mind that the interpretation of cross-country comparisons of military expenditure is greatly influenced by the choice of exchange rate.2

    Methods

    SIPRI data is based on open sources and reflect the official data reported by governments. However, the official data does not always conform to the SIPRI definition of military expenditure. Neither is it always possible to recalculate data according to the definition, since this would require detailed information about what is included in the official defence budgets and about extra-budget-ary and off-budget military expenditure items. In many cases SIPRI is confined to using the data provided by governments, regardless of definition. If several data series are available, which is often the case, SIPRI chooses the data series that corresponds most closely to the SIPRI definition of military expenditure. Nevertheless, priority is given to choosing a uniform time series for each coun-try, in order to achieve consistency over time, rather than to adjusting the figures for individual years according to a common definition. In addition, esti-mates have to be made in specific cases.

    Estimation

    Estimates of military expenditure are predominantly made when the coverage of official data diverges significantly from the SIPRI definition or when no complete consistent time series is available. In the first case, estimates are made on the basis of an analysis of primarily official government budget and expenditure accounts. The most comprehensive estimates of this type—those for China and Russia—have been presented in detail in previous editions of the Yearbook.3 In the second case, when only incomplete times series are available, the figures from the data series which corresponds most closely to the SIPRI definition are used for the years covered by that series. Figures for the missing years are then estimated by applying the percentage change between years in an alternative series to the data in the first series, in order to achieve con-sistency over time.

    All estimates are based on official government data or other empirical evi-dence from open sources. Thus, no estimates are made for countries that do not release any official data, and no figures are displayed for these countries.

    SIPRI estimates are presented in square brackets in the tables. Round brackets are used when data is uncertain for reasons beyond SIPRI’s control, for example, when the data is based on a source of uncertain reliability and in cases when data expressed in constant dollars or as shares of GDP is uncertain due to a lack of reliable economic data.

    The data for the most recent years includes two types of estimate, which apply to all countries. First, figures for the most recent years are for adopted budget, budget estimates or revised estimates, the majority of which will be

    revised in subsequent years. Second, in table 5A.3 the deflator used for the final year in the series is an estimate based on part of a year or as provided by the IMF. Unless exceptional uncertainty is involved, these estimates are not bracketed.

    The totals for the world, regions, organizations and income groups in table 5A.1 are estimates because data is not available for all countries in all years. These estimates are most often made on the assumption that the rate of change for that country is the same as the average for the region to which it belongs. Where data is available for an earlier year in the 10-year series, the estimates for missing values are calculated starting from the most recent avail-able value. Where data is only available for later years, the estimates are calcu-lated from the first available figure after the missing value. When no estimate can be made, countries are excluded from all totals.

    Calculations

    The original country data is provided in local currency at current prices (table 5A.2). The only calculation made on these data is to convert to calendar year figures the figures for those countries that have a financial year that differs from the calendar year. Calculations from financial years to calendar years are made on the assumption of an even rate of expenditure throughout the finan-cial year. This is done for all countries except the United States, for which SIPRI follows the reporting format of the source—a financial-year basis.4

    Local currency data is converted to US dollars at constant prices and exchange rates (table 5A.3), using the national consumer prices index (CPI) for the respective country and the annual average market exchange rate. The use of CPIs as deflators means that the trend in the SIPRI military expenditure for each country (in constant dollars) reflects the real change in its purchasing power for country-typical baskets of civilian consumer goods.5

    Market exchange rates are determined by the supply and demand of cur-rencies used in international transactions. However, the prices of many goods and services on domestic markets are determined in partial or complete iso-lation from the rest of the world. Therefore, the MERs do not always accur-ately reflect differences in price levels between countries. An alternative is to use purchasing power parity (PPP) conversion factors (or PPP exchange rates). The PPP dollar rate of a country’s currency is defined by the World Bank as ‘the number of units of a country’s currency required to buy the same amount of goods and services in the domestic market as a U.S. dollar would buy in the United States’.6 The only PPP rates available for all countries are GDP-based

    4 This exception for US military expenditure data follows the practice for NATO data, which is

    the main SIPRI source for US military expenditure, in order to benefit from the standardization of NATO data. In addition, the USA is a large spender that dominates the world total, so it is important to avoid estimation.

    5 A military-specific deflator is a more appropriate choice for the purpose of measuring pur-chasing power in terms of the amount of military personnel, goods and services that could be bought for the military expenditure. However, military-specific deflators are not available for most coun-tries.

  • MILITARY EXPENDITURE 217

    PPP rates, which are estimates based on statistical surveys of price data for a basket of goods and services that are major components of the gross domestic product.7 Such GDP-based PPP rates are designed to control for differences in price levels and thus to provide a measure of the real purchasing power of the GDP of each country.

    Using GDP-based PPP rates instead of MERs for currency conversion results in much higher output and expenditure figures for many developing countries since they have relatively low prices for non-traded goods and services. A unit of local currency therefore has greater purchasing power within a developing country (which is better reflected by using PPP rates) than it has inter-nationally (which is what is reflected by using MERs).8 However, the reliability of such PPP rates is lower than for MERs, since PPP rates are statistical esti-mates, calculated on the basis of collected price data for a basket of goods and services for benchmark years. Between benchmark years, the PPP rates are extrapolated forward using ratios of prices indexes, either GDP deflators or consumer price indexes. Like all statistical estimates they are subject to a margin of error.

    Furthermore, GDP-based PPP rates are of limited relevance for the con-version of military expenditure data into US dollars.9 Such PPP rates are designed to reflect the purchasing power for goods and services that are repre-sentative of consumption patterns in each country, that is, primarily for civilian goods and services. Military expenditure is used to purchase a number of goods and services which are not typical of national consumption patterns. For example, the price of conscripts can be assumed to be lower than the price of a typical basket of goods and services, while the prices of advanced weapon systems and of their maintenance and repair services can be assumed to be much higher. The extent to which this data reflects the amount of military goods and services that the military budget can buy is not known. Due to these uncertainties, SIPRI uses market exchange rates to convert military expend-iture data into US dollars, despite their limitations.

    Sources

    The sources for military expenditure data are, in order of priority: (a) primary sources, that is, official data provided by national governments, either in their

    7 GDP-based PPP rates are estimated for all countries by the International Comparison Program

    (ICP), coordinated by the World Bank. In Feb. 2008 the ICP released PPP data based on inter-national price comparisons for the benchmark year of 2005. See the ICP website, .

    8 On the issues involved in international comparison and currency conversion and the use of PPP rates see Ward, M., ‘International comparisons of military expenditures: issues and challenges of using purchasing power parities’, SIPRI Yearbook 2006: Armaments, Disarmament and International Security (Oxford University Press: Oxford, 2006), pp. 369–86.

    9 The ICP notes that PPP rates should not be used for all international comparisons and that MERs should be used to measure such things as international trade, capital flows and the value of foreign debt.

    official publications or in response to questionnaires; (b) secondary sources which quote primary data; and (c) other secondary sources.

    The first category consists of national budget documents, defence White Papers and public finance statistics as well as responses to a SIPRI question-naire that is sent out annually to the finance and defence ministries, central banks, and national statistical offices of the countries in the SIPRI Military Expenditure Database (see appendix 5C). It also includes government responses to questionnaires about military expenditure sent out by the United Nations and, if made available by the countries themselves, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.

    The second category includes international statistics, such as those of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the IMF. The data for the 16 pre-1999 NATO member states has traditionally been taken from military expenditure statistics published in a number of NATO sources. The intro-duction by NATO of a new definition of military expenditure in 2005 has made it necessary to rely on other sources for some NATO countries for the most recent years. The data for many developing countries is taken from the IMF’s Government Finance Statistics Yearbook, which provides a defence heading for most IMF member countries, and from country reports by IMF staff. This category also includes publications of other organizations that provide proper references to the primary sources used, such as the Country Reports of the Economist Intelligence Unit.

    The third category of sources consists of specialist journals and newspapers. The main sources for economic data are the publications of the IMF: Inter-

    national Financial Statistics, World Economic Outlook and country reports by IMF staff.
