Methodological explanations
Defense expenditures are the total amount of expenditures incurred in a reporting year expressed according to the methodology of preparation of “Defense Planning Capability Survey – DPCS”.
Gross domestic product (GDP) illustrates the final result of the activity of all entities of the national economy (resident producer units – domestic) in a given year. The exact definition and methodology for calculating GDP is contained in the regulation (EU) No 549/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on the European system of national and regional accounts in the European Union (ESA 2010).
For the purposes of monitoring, the actual expenditure incurred for national defense calculated after the reporting year has been taken into account.
