KNOW HOW MUCH DOES YOUR COUNTRY INVEST IN R &D

Investment in R&D has been long-recognized as means to promote the UN's Global Goals for Sustainable Development (SDGs), as it positively impacts lives of people around the world.

Global spending on R&D has reached a record high of almost US$ 1.7 trillion. About 10 countries account for 80% of spending. As part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), countries have pledged to substantially increase public and private R&D spending as well as the number of researchers by 2030.

To evaluate a country’s commitment to R&D, look at spending as a percentage of GDP. You can then see the actual amounts being spent in purchasing power parity dollars (PPP$).
