INFORMATION GRAPHIC PRECEDENTS – GROUP 1

Arms deliveries to developing

countries last year were the

highest since 2004, totalling $28

billion, or around 60% of global

sales. America and Russia, the

world’s leading arms suppliers,

accounted for around two-thirds

of deliveries to the developing

world. America’s exports in

particular are helped by a long-

standing client base, which orders

upgrades, spare parts and support

services every year. Arms deals

were buoyed last year by unusually

high demand from Saudi Arabia.

The Middle Eastern country is the

developing world’s biggest arms

buyer; deliveries were $2.8 billion

in 2011. India, which is Russia’s

biggest high-value arms client,

was close behind, with $2.7 billion-

worth of deliveries last year.
