Overview
Algeria's gini index stood at 27.6 in 2011, a decline of +7.7 from 1995. Algeria ranked 9th globally.
Algeria's Gini Index has exhibited a notable decline since its peak in 1988, when it stood at 37.40, to its current value of 27.60 in 2011, ranking ninth globally. This downward trend indicates a reduction in income inequality over the years. In comparison to its peers, Algeria's latest Gini Index value is closely aligned with that of Finland and Sweden, both of which also have a Gini Index of 27.60. The country's progress in reducing income inequality is evident, with a decrease of 9.80 points over the observed period. As Algeria continues on this trajectory, its income inequality is likely to remain relatively low, but sustained economic growth and targeted social policies would be necessary to further reduce inequality and maintain the country's current ranking among its peers.
