Bunlar olağanüstü sayıda insanın acı çektiği ve ekonomik kayıplar ile sonuçlanan çatışmalardı ve bölge ulusları birçok gelişme fırsatını heba etmiştir. Nitekim ulusal bütçelerin önemli bir kısmı, askeri harcamalar için kullanılmaktadır. Askeri harcamalar ekonomi için hem fayda hem de maliyet oluşturur. Bu çalışmada Orta Doğu ve Kuzey Afrika ülkelerindeki askeri harcamalar ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişki 1990-2017 dönemi için panel ekonometrik modeller kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, altyapının ekonomik büyüme üzerinde olumsuz ve oldukça önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğu bulunmaktadır. Katsayı -0.068’dir, bu da askeri harcamanın bir puanlık artmasının, ekonomik büyümede yaklaşık 0.06 puanlık bir azalmaya yol açtığı anlamına gelir.
