Well, just re-reading it the survey was done by "Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP)". It would be in their interest to come up with an inflated figure.

Conflicts around the world cost $14.3tn (£9.1tn) last year, 13% of world GDP, says a survey on global peace.
That amount is equivalent to the combined economies of Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom, the report by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) said.

Sounds like BS to me. How are these costs calculated?
