Income inequality in Albania remains above the European Union average, while the indicator has slightly worsened during 2025, compared to the general European trend.

According to Eurostat data, the Gini coefficient, which measures inequality in income distribution, reached 30.4 in Albania in 2025, up from 29.8 a year earlier. This indicator is 1.2 points higher than the European Union average of 29.2.

The data shows that while income distribution differences have widened in Albania, a slight improvement has been recorded in the European Union countries. The Gini coefficient for the EU decreased from 29.4 in 2024 to 29.2 in 2025.

The latest INSTAT data also confirms the widening inequality in the country. According to the Income and Living Standards Survey, published in October, the Gini coefficient increased to 30.37%, from 29.83% in 2024, although average disposable income per capita increased by 10.5%.

In Europe, differences between countries are significant. According to Eurostat, Bulgaria had the highest inequality in income distribution in the European Union, with a Gini coefficient of 37.7, followed by Latvia with 35.6 and Lithuania with 35.5.

On the other hand, Slovakia resulted as the country with the most equal distribution of income, with a coefficient of 23.0, followed by Belgium (23.4), the Czech Republic (24.0), Slovenia (24.6) and Poland (24.9).

In the Western Balkans region, the latest available Eurostat data show a relatively similar level of inequality, although the reference years differ. Serbia had a Gini coefficient of 31.9 in 2024, Montenegro 31.5 in 2022 and North Macedonia 30.3 in 2023.

The Gini coefficient measures the degree of inequality in the distribution of disposable income of the population, on a scale from 0 to 100. A value of zero implies complete equality, where all individuals have the same income, while a value of 100 represents maximum inequality, when all income is concentrated in one individual./Monitor
