Defence Expenditure of nato Countries (2013-2019) 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.

3 In the figures and tables that follow, nato also uses 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 both these sources and national GDP forecasts, and also 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.

4 Personnel Expenditure includes pensions paid to retirees. The cut-off date for information used in this report was 21 November 2019. Figures for 2019 are estimates. -2- Graph 1 : nato Europe and Canada - Defence Expenditure (annual real change, based on 2015 prices and exchange rates)Notes: Figures for 2019 are estimates.

For the past years, Allies' Defence spending was based on the then available GDP data and Allies may, therefore, have met the 2% guideline when using those figures (In 2018, Lithuania met 2% using November 2018 OECD figures).Table 2 : Defence expenditureMillion US dollars2013201420152016201720182019eCurr ent prices and exchange ratesAlbania180178132131144176198 Belgium5,2645,1924,2024,2564,4314,8404,9 21 Bulgaria8117476336717239612,179 Canada18,22118,15018,68517,71123,70422,4 0022,485 Croatia8501,0648838379249661,032 Czech Republic2,1481,9751,9211,8662,2592,7502, 967 Denmark4,2174,0573,3643,5933,7804,5594,6 51 Estonia480513463497540607670 France52,31651,94043,47444,19146,03650,4 5950,729 Germany45,93146,10239,81341,59045,37449, 72554,751 Greece5,3095,2264,5174,6354,7425,3834,94 0 Hungary1,2801,2101,1321,2891,4681,7912,0 80 Italy26,65824,44819,56622,37323,85225,00 424.
