英国IHS集团于近期公布了关于2013年全球国防开支情况的分析与预测报告,对世界上77个国家2013年国防开支的总额和变化情况进行了分析。根据报告,截止到2013年底上述国家的国防开支总额达到1.53万亿美元,距离2009年创造的历史最高记录(1.64万亿美元)只差了1100亿美元。2013年全球国防开支的特点2013年的国际形势,总体较为平稳,未发生重大的军事冲突与局部战争。但朝鲜半岛、叙利亚局势曾一度紧张,使部分国家认识到,在世界格局日益多元化的今天,有必要增加国防开支并保持适当的军力,以维护国家安全。同时,受全球性经济不景气的影响,以美国为代表的部分国家又不得不削减国防开支。
The British IHS Group recently released its analysis and forecast report on global defense spending in 2013 and analyzed the total and changes in national defense spending in 2013 in 77 countries in the world. According to the report, the total national defense spending in these countries reached 1.53 trillion U.S. dollars by the end of 2013, a mere $ 110 billion less than the highest record in history (1.64 trillion U.S. dollars) created in 2009. Characteristics of Global Defense Spending in 2013 The international situation in 2013 was generally stable with no major military conflicts or partial wars. However, the situation in the Korean Peninsula and Syria was once so tense that some countries realized that it is necessary to increase their national defense expenditures and maintain the proper military force so as to safeguard their national security today as the world structure is increasingly diversified. Meanwhile, affected by the global economic downturn, some countries represented by the United States have had to cut defense spending again.
