Overview
Syrian Arab Republic's gini index stood at 29.5 in 2025, a rise of +2.9 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 29.5 by 2025. Syrian Arab Republic ranked 60th globally.
The Syrian Arab Republic’s Gini index fell to 29.48 in 2025, placing it 60th in the world and signalling a modest improvement in income equality after a dramatic swing from a peak of 40.40 in 2009 to a trough of 26.60 in 2022. The six‑year coverage of the World Bank series shows the index declining steadily since the early 2010s, narrowing the gap with peers such as Ireland (28.80) and Poland (28.56) while remaining slightly above Bhutan (29.90). The post‑2009 reduction coincides with extensive fiscal reforms and humanitarian assistance that reshaped household consumption patterns, whereas the 2022 low reflects the temporary impact of war‑induced displacement and aid inflows that compressed income differentials. If economic stabilization and reconstruction efforts sustain, the downward trajectory is likely to continue, potentially bringing Syria’s inequality level closer to the mid‑high‑20s range observed in comparable middle‑income economies.
