Overview
Serbia's gini index stood at 31.2 in 2025, a decline of +1.6 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 31.2 by 2025. Serbia ranked 52nd globally.
Serbia's Gini Index has exhibited a notable fluctuation over the past two decades, with a peak of 40.50 in 2015 and a trough of 27.60 in 2008. The most recent reading, 31.18, places Serbia at the 52nd position globally, slightly above countries like Austria with a Gini Index of 31.80. The significant reduction in income inequality since 2008 is a positive indicator, although the country still lags behind more egalitarian nations such as Denmark with a Gini Index of 31.02. The current level of 31.18 indicates a moderate level of income inequality, which may be influenced by the country's economic growth and social policies. The decline in inequality since the trough in 2008 suggests that Serbia's economy and social safety nets have been effective in reducing disparities. However, the trajectory of income inequality may be affected by future economic developments, such as changes in labor market conditions or government policies aimed at reducing income disparities.
