Figures are trend-indicator values expressed in US $m.

at constant
(1990) prices.

Note: The SIPRI data on arms transfers refer to actual deliveries of

major conventional weapons. To permit comparison between the data on
such deliveries of different weapons and identification of general
trends, SIPRI uses a trend-indicator value. The SIPRI values are
therefore only an indicator of the volume of international arms
transfers and not of the actual financial values of such transfers. Thus
they are not comparable to economic statistics such as gross domestic
product or export/import figures.

Figures may not add up because of rounding.

For a description of the method used in calculating the trend-indicator

value see sources and methods.
