According to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the income or economic inequality figure, measured by the Gini ratio, reached 0.363 points in September 2025.

Based on the provincial distribution, South Papua recorded the highest figure during that period, reaching 0.426 points. This ratio rose significantly from the March 2025 data of 0.412 points.

This is the first time that South Papua has surpassed a number of provinces that have tended to occupy the top positions in recent periods, such as DKI Jakarta and Yogyakarta. These two provinces recorded Gini ratios of 0.423 and 0.414 points respectively.

BPS stated that, compared to the national Gini ratio of 0.363 points, there are indeed nine provinces with higher Gini ratios. The details are as follows:

South Papua (0.426)
DKI Jakarta (0.423)
DI Yogyakarta (0.414)
Papua (0.397)
West Java (0.397)
Riau Islands (0.385)
West Papua (0.383)
Gorontalo (0.383)
West Nusa Tenggara (0.364).

Meanwhile, the lowest Gini figures were recorded by Bangka Belitung Islands (0.214), North Kalimantan (0.251), and Maluku (0.273).

The Gini ratio or Gini coefficient is measured on a scale of 0 to 1 points. According to the Bappenas website, a Gini ratio of 0 points indicates perfect equality, meaning that all residents have the same per capita income.

Conversely, a Gini coefficient of 1 point indicates perfect inequality. This illustrates that only one resident has a per capita income, while the others have none at all.

"Therefore, the higher the Gini coefficient, the higher the level of inequality in a region," Bappenas wrote on its official website.
