The ratio of military expenditure to gross domestic product (GDP) in Jamaica decreased to 1.31 percent since the previous year. Nevertheless, the last two years recorded a significant higher ratio than the preceding years. Military expenditure refers to the total amount of money spent on a country's armed forces, including peacekeeping and defense operations. This figure is then given as a share of its gross domestic product (not total government expenditure). When comparing international figures there may be some discrepancies depending on what countries consider military spending.
