SIPRI military expenditure in current US dollars. This measures nominal resource inputs, not military capability; exchange-rate and inflation changes affect comparisons over time. Provider footnote: A provisional investigation into embezzlement of funds intended for military procurement reports 'extra-budgetary interventions' of N644 billion ($3.2 billion) and a further $2.2 billion in funding in foreign currency, between 2007 and 2015. If these reports are correct, then Nigerian military spending may have been about 28% higher than in the reported figures. Figures for Nigeria before 1999 are understated because of the use by the military of a favourable specific dollar exchange rate.

Source reference

SIPRI military expenditure in current US dollars. This measures nominal resource inputs, not military capability; exchange-rate and inflation changes affect comparisons over time. Provider footnote: A provisional investigation into embezzlement of funds intended for military procurement reports 'extra-budgetary interventions' of N644 billion ($3.2 billion) and a further $2.2 billion in funding in foreign currency, between 2007 and 2015. If these reports are correct, then Nigerian military spending may have been about 28% higher than in the reported figures. Figures for Nigeria before 1999 are understated because of the use by the military of a favourable specific dollar exchange rate.
