SIPRI military expenditure as a percentage of GDP. This is an indicator of the economic burden of military spending, not military capability. Provider footnote: The figures for France from 2006 are calculated with a new methodology due to a change in the French budgetary system and financial law. Military spending includes a supplementary budget of 1.5 bn euros extra allocated to "defence" in 2016 and 700 mil euros in 2017. This is added to the original LdF budget.
