Tajikistan Gini Index
Gini index (0=perfect equality, 100=perfect inequality) SI.POV.GINI
Tajikistan's gini index was 37.6 in 2025, ranked 25th globally. This represents a 4.1% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1999–2025.
Overview
Tajikistan's gini index stood at 37.6 in 2025, a rise of +1.5 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 37.6 by 2025. Tajikistan ranked 25th globally.
Tajikistan’s Gini index has risen steadily since the earliest World Bank observation in 1999, when it stood at 29.50, marking the country’s all‑time trough. Over the subsequent two decades the measure of income inequality expanded, reaching an all‑time peak of 39.50 in 2022 before easing slightly to 37.58 in 2025, which places Tajikistan at the 25th position globally. The 2025 figure is virtually identical to Rwanda’s 37.58 and only marginally lower than Malta’s 37.66, suggesting that Tajikistan now shares a similar distribution profile with several middle‑income economies. The modest decline from the 2022 peak indicates that policy interventions, such as targeted social assistance and progressive taxation, may be beginning to curb the upward pressure on inequality. Continued reforms aimed at broadening labor‑market participation and improving rural‑urban income convergence will be essential to sustain the recent downward movement and prevent a reversal of the trend.
