Military expenditure (% of GDP), 1960–2024. 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 63 of the 65 years between 1960 and 2024 for Ghana. The missing 2 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
