About This Statistic

Final consumption expenditure is expenditure on goods and services by resident institutional units for the direct satisfaction of human needs or wants, whether individual or collective. General government FCE includes all government current expenditures for purchases of goods and services (including compensation of employees), and most expenditures on national defense and security, but excludes government military expenditures that are part of government capital formation. This indicator denotes the percentage change over each previous year of the constant price (base year 2015) series in United States dollars.

MapTheory uses only finite 2025 observations mapped to ISO 3166-1 numeric country codes. Aggregates, missing values and other years are excluded without estimation. Discovery motivation: Worldwide X trends around the Pentagon, Patriot Day and September 11 motivated comparison of annual change in government current consumption, including public services and most current defense and security spending.
