Military expenditure (% of GDP), 1967–2024. Bars, not a line: a line drawn across a year the source does not report would invent an observation a reader could not tell from a measured one.

The World Bank reports 41 of the 58 years between 1967 and 2024 for Gabon. The missing 17 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
