Equatorial Guinea Gini Index
Gini index (0=perfect equality, 100=perfect inequality) SI.POV.GINI
Equatorial Guinea's gini index was 38.5 in 2022, ranked 51st globally. Data from World Bank, covering 2022–2022.
Overview
Equatorial Guinea's gini index stood at 38.5 in 2022. Equatorial Guinea ranked 51st globally.
Equatorial Guinea’s Gini Index stood at 38.50 in 2022, placing the country 51st in the global ranking and marking both the earliest recorded value and the all‑time peak and trough for the indicator, as the World Bank reports. The stability of the figure reflects a narrow band of measured income inequality over the single year of coverage, with no observable fluctuation. Compared with peers, the index is marginally higher than Kosovo’s 38.30 and lower than El Salvador’s 38.80, suggesting a modestly more unequal distribution than the former but slightly less than the latter. The constancy of the 38.50 reading implies that policy shifts or external shocks have yet to generate measurable changes in income dispersion. Continued diversification of the hydrocarbon‑dependent economy or targeted fiscal reforms could alter the trajectory, potentially lowering the Gini coefficient in forthcoming years.
