The 2021 Small Arms Trade Transparency Barometer identifies the most and least transparent of 50 top and major small arms exporters, based on those states' reporting of their authorized small arms exports undertaken in 2018.

In addition to their national reports, the Barometer takes into consideration data provided by states to multiple
international reporting instruments, such as the UN Register of Conventional Arms, the UN Small Arms Programme of
Action, the UN Commodity Trade Statistics Database, and the Arms Trade Treaty.
