Albania's income share held by the bottom 10% of the population has fluctuated over the years, with the latest value in 2020 standing at 3.40%. This places Albania at a global ranking of 17, closely aligned with peer countries such as Poland, which also has an income share of 3.40%, and slightly below Canada and the Slovak Republic, which have shares of 3.50%. The all-time peak was reached in 1996, the earliest year on record, at 3.90%, while the all-time trough occurred in 2014 at 2.90%. The trend suggests a general decline in the income share of the bottom 10% since the peak in 1996. As economic policies and global conditions continue to evolve, a shift in the trajectory of this indicator would likely require targeted initiatives to address income inequality and support the lowest income segments of the population.
