Sheet: Regional totals

Military expenditure by region in constant US dollars, 1988–2012
Figures are in US$ [NAME], at constant 2011 prices and exchange rates, except for the last figure which is in US$ b. at 2012 prices and exchange rates.
All world totals and most regional totals include estimates for at least one country.
Figures do not always add up to totals because of the conventions of rounding.
Figures in red indicate that more than 10% of the total figure consists of estimates for countries for which data is missing.
The symbol ". ." indicates that data is unavailable, or that the world or regional estimate is considered too uncertain to be reliable.
The symbol "xxx" indicates that none of the countries in the relevant sub-region (Central Asia) were independent at this time.
