Overview
Azerbaijan's gini index stood at 26.6 in 2005, a rise of +0.0 from 2004. Azerbaijan ranked 3rd globally.
Azerbaijan's Gini Index, a measure of income inequality, has experienced a significant decline over the years. The country's all-time peak of 36.50 in 2001, a level of income disparity comparable to that of more developed economies, was followed by a sharp drop to 25.30 in 2002, its lowest recorded value. However, this trend was short-lived, and the index rose to 26.60 by 2005, still ranking among the top three globally. This moderate level of income inequality is comparable to that of peer countries such as Sweden, which had a Gini Index of 26.80 in the same year. The decline from the peak in 2001 suggests that Azerbaijan has made progress in reducing income disparities, but the country still lags behind more egalitarian societies such as Slovenia, which had a Gini Index of 24.60 in 2005. Continued economic growth and targeted social policies could further reduce income inequality in Azerbaijan, potentially driving the Gini Index towards more developed economies.
