Definition
Named after Italian statistician Corrado Gini, the coefficient is derived from the Lorenz curve — the cumulative distribution of income or wealth across a population. Lower values indicate more equal distribution.
Oman’s Vision 2040 Data
0.31 (2010 data) → ~0.29 (current estimate) → 0.31 maintain (2030) → 0.28 target (2040)
Why It Matters
The Gini coefficient measures income inequality within a population, ranging from 0 (perfect equality) to 1 (perfect inequality). Oman’s Gini of approximately 0.29 is moderate — Vision 2040 targets 0.28 by 2040.
