Why This Bounces Around So Much
Don't anchor on the most recent year. With this much back-and-forth, the latest reading is one data point among several similarly-weighted ones, not the start of a new trend.
Worth noting this move happens in 2020, the year lockdowns disrupted ordinary activity broadly across the world. It may or may not be the direct explanation here, but it's the most common one for a dip landing in exactly this year.
The single most useful thing to do with this chart is compare Ghana against its neighbors or peers on the same military expenditure series, not read the line in isolation — a number only means something relative to where everyone else stands.
As with almost all cross-national statistical series, this one blends real survey years with modeled estimates for the gaps — the year-to-year precision is lower than the chart's smooth line suggests.
