* Major exporters are countries that export—or are believed to export—at least USD 10 million worth of small arms, light weapons, their parts, accessories, and ammunition in a given year. The 2019 Barometer includes any state that qualified as a major exporter at least once during the 2001–16 calendar years; it assesses arms trade activities for 2016. All scores are out of a possible 25.00 points and are derived through the quality and quantity of official reporting by a country on it's own arms transfers and transfer system.
