    Les dépenses militaires dans le monde ont atteint un record en 2020

    L'édition 2021 du rapport annuel « Military Balance », publié par l'institut britannique IISS, évoque des dépenses militaires mondiales record en 2020, évaluées à 1 830 milliards de dollars, soit une progression annuelle de 3,9%, en termes réels, après une hausse de 4% en 2019 considérée comme la plus forte de toute la décennie. En proportion du PIB, ces dépenses mondiales passent ainsi, pour la première fois, tout juste au-dessus de la barre des 2%, la plupart des pays ayant maintenu leurs budgets militaires malgré la crise de la Covid-19. Le budget de la défense américain a ainsi bondi de 6,3% en 2020, celui de la Chine de 5,2%. Les deux Etats pèsent pour les deux tiers de la hausse des dépenses mondiales. De plus, désormais, l'Asie représente le quart des dépenses de défense mondiale, contre 17,8% en 2010, et dépense plus pour sa défense que tout le continent européen. Les Echos du 27 février 2021
