Military expenditure (% of GDP), 1976–2024. 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 46 of the 49 years between 1976 and 2024 for Jamaica. The missing 3 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
