Please check chart

An improbable number of countries in a row are spending 2.2 percent of their income on the military--it looks like a glitch. Nareek (talk) 18:22, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian defence expenditure is wrong. The number in the pie chart is stated to be in USD, in fact it is the amount in Canadian dollars. If it is converted correctly it should be 25 to 30% lower. This correction affects listing and status throughout the article. Refer to Canadian government expenditures and estimates website to confirm if in doubt. How much else is less than accurate if a simple check can find this fault. CPO1321HT (talk) 21:05, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Expand list

According to the SIPRI report list should be expanded from 15 to 40. Ytpks896 (talk) 15:24, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Germany's increase in defence spending

In response to Germany's announcement of an increase in defence spending and ‎User7355608's edit, I wanted to point out that Germany's announcement is of a fund of €100bn, which sounds like it will be multi-year expenditure. It seems like Germany's defence spending will go from about 1.5% to 2% of GDP. Germany to set up €100bn fund to boost its military strength Kookiethebird (talk) 07:34, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For future reference, here is the paragraph that had been on the article page before being removed:
On February 27, 2022, in response to the ongoing escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War, Germany announced it would create a special fund of €100bn (US$110bn), "for strategic investments in the Bundeswehr’s readiness and modernization after decades of budget cuts"[1] and would spend at least 2% of its GDP on defence, up from 1.5%.[2] It would give Germany the third highest defence budget, with a forecast annual budget of US$83.5bn in 2024, up from US$57.5bn in 2021.[3]
