This map layer shows military expenditures for 2017 of all available countries in billion US dollars, classified in five categories.
The defence budget of a country is generally made up of two main categories: recurrent expenditures, such as salaries for soldiers or money needed for the maintenance of military material, and so-called investment expenditures, which are moneys invested in the expansion of military capacities (e.g. development), research and testing of new military technologies or in the purchase of new vehicles, equipment and weapons.
