The current price figures for each year represent the dollar value of military expenditure at the market exchange rate for that year. For the years 1984-85 another data source from the Central Bank records much higher figures for Ecuador than those given: $278 million and $361 million respectively. It is possible that these figures reflect major arms purchases made by Ecuador following the war with Peru in 1981.
