The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) noted that the inequality in spending or the economy of Indonesia, measured through the Gini ratio, fluctuated with a downward trend during 2019-2025.

In total across all regions, villages and cities, there were seven periods of decline in data collection. Meanwhile, there was an increase during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and four periods thereafter.

"The Gini ratio experienced fluctuations and in March 2023, it reached 0.388, which is the highest since September 2019," BPS wrote in a report on Thursday (5/2/2026).

However, the Gini ratio again showed a downward trend in 2025, with the latest data as of September 2025 being 0.363. This was recorded as the lowest in the 2019-2025 period.

"This shows that the level of income inequality among Indonesian residents has improved," claimed BPS.

When broken down by region, the Gini ratio in urban areas in September 2025 reached 0.383.

According to BPS, this condition decreased by 0.012 points compared to March 2025, which was 0.395. This figure also decreased by 0.019 points compared to September 2024, which was 0.402.

Despite the decline, the inequality in urban areas is still higher than the national average or that in rural areas.

The Gini ratio in rural areas in the same period was 0.295, decreasing by 0.004 points compared to March 2025, which was 0.299. The ratio also decreased by 0.013 points compared to September 2024, which was 0.308.

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

Conversely, a Gini coefficient of 1 point indicates perfect inequality. This illustrates that the higher the Gini coefficient, the higher the level of inequality in a region.

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