This text summarizes the findings of SIPRI’s Yearbook 2020. As in the past, the Yearbook provides original data on world military expenditures, international arms transfers, arms production rates, the size and composition of nuclear forces, armed conflicts and multilateral peace operations. This edition provides evidence of an ongoing deterioration in the conditions for international stability. This publication outlines how this trend is reflected in the continued rise of military spending, the estimated level of global arms transfers, a crisis in arms control, the persistently high number of armed conflicts worldwide and more.
