Overview
Indonesia's income share top 10% stood at 29.80% in 2025, a rise of +1.00pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 29.80% by 2025. Indonesia ranked 21st globally.
Indonesia's income distribution has experienced fluctuations over the past three decades, with the top 10% share of national income varying between 24.60% in 2003 and 31.50% in 2015. The latter marks the country's peak, where the wealthiest segment of the population commanded nearly a third of the national income. Conversely, the trough in 2003 saw a more equitable distribution, with the top 10% holding less than a quarter of the national income. As of 2025, the top 10% income share stands at 29.80%, positioning Indonesia at the 21st place globally. This figure is comparable to that of Bulgaria, where the top 10% share is 29.78%. The relatively stable trend in Indonesia's income distribution suggests a maintained level of economic inequality. However, a significant shift in economic policies or structural changes could alter this trajectory, potentially leading to a more equitable distribution of income.
