Between 2010 and 2022, Panama's data on the degree of inequality in income distribution based on the Gini coefficient totaled 50.9. This coefficient represents a deterioration compared to last year. Panama was deemed as the third most unequal country in Latin America.
The Gini coefficient measures the deviation of the distribution of income (or consumption) among individuals or households in a given country from a perfectly equal distribution. A value of 0 represents absolute equality, whereas 100 would be the highest possible degree of inequality.
