Abstract
a Total defence expenditure, including National Guard, Federal Border Service and military pensions; b Includes US Foreign Military Assistance Note: US dollar totals are calculated using average market exchange rates for 2019, derived using IMF data. The relative position of countries will vary not only as a result of actual adjustments in defence-spending levels, but also due to exchange-rate uctuations between domestic currencies and the US dollar. The use of average exchange rates reduces these uctuations, but the effects of such movements can be signi cant in a number of cases.
