Uzbekistan Gini Index
Gini index (0=perfect equality, 100=perfect inequality) SI.POV.GINI
Uzbekistan's gini index was 33.2 in 2025, ranked 44th globally. This represents a 4.2% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1998–2025.
Overview
Uzbekistan's gini index stood at 33.2 in 2025, a decline of +1.4 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 33.2 by 2025. Uzbekistan ranked 44th globally.
Uzbekistan’s Gini index has fallen markedly from an all‑time peak of 44.10 in 1998 to a trough of 31.20 in 2022, reaching 33.15 in 2025 and ranking 44th globally. The decline reflects a gradual reduction in income inequality over the past two decades, with the most pronounced improvement occurring after 2010 when a series of fiscal reforms and targeted social programmes were introduced. Compared with peers of similar rank, Uzbekistan’s 2025 figure is close to Latvia’s 33.24 and Thailand’s 33.12, suggesting that its inequality level now aligns with middle‑income economies that have pursued inclusive growth strategies. The nine‑year coverage of World Bank data shows a consistent downward trajectory, though the modest rise from the 2022 trough indicates that further policy reinforcement may be needed to sustain progress. Continued investment in education, rural development, and progressive taxation could deepen the decline in inequality and move Uzbekistan closer to the lower‑end Gini scores observed in advanced economies.
