Defence Expenditure of NATO Countries (2010-2017)
NATO collects defence expenditure data from Allies on a regular basis and presents
aggregates and subsets of this information. Each Ally’s Ministry of Defence reports
current and estimated future defence expenditure according to an agreed definition of
defence expenditure. The amounts represent payments by a national government actually
made, or to be made, during the course of the fiscal year to meet the needs of its armed
forces, those of Allies or of the Alliance. NATO also makes use of up-to-date economic
and demographic information available from the Directorate-General for Economic and
Financial Affairs of the European Commission (DG-ECFIN), and the Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
In view of differences between the definition of NATO defence expenditure and national
definitions, the figures shown in this report may diverge considerably from those which
are quoted by media, published by national authorities or given in national budgets.
Equipment expenditure includes expenditure on major equipment as well as on research
and development devoted to major equipment. Personnel expenditure includes pensions
paid to retirees.
The cut-off date for information used in this report was 26 June 2017. Figures for 2017
are estimates.
News and information is routinely placed on the NATO website. This includes audio files, transcripts and high resolution
photographs, which are posted as soon as possible after events of media interest. Check the 'What's New' file.
