Mongolia Gini Index
Gini index (0=perfect equality, 100=perfect inequality) SI.POV.GINI
Mongolia's gini index was 30.9 in 2025, ranked 54th globally. This represents a 1.4% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1995–2025.
Overview
Mongolia's gini index stood at 30.9 in 2025, a decline of +0.5 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 30.9 by 2025. Mongolia ranked 54th globally.
Mongolia’s Gini index has shown modest improvement since the late 1990s, falling from a high of 33.20 in 1995 to an all‑time trough of 30.30 in 1998 before rising to a peak of 35.80 in 2007. The latest World Bank estimate for 2025 records the index at 30.95, placing Mongolia 54th globally and positioning it just above Denmark’s 31.02 and slightly above Bangladesh’s 30.88, while remaining marginally below Sweden’s 30.86. The post‑2007 decline reflects a gradual redistribution of income, aided by reforms in the mining sector and expanded social safety nets, yet the index remains relatively high for a middle‑income economy. With continued diversification away from commodity dependence and targeted fiscal policies aimed at rural households, the trajectory suggests further modest reductions in inequality, though external shocks to commodity prices could temper progress.
