There was a slight decrease of 0.002 points when compared to March 2020 which amounted to 0.316. A decrease in the Gini Ratio means a decrease in the level of expenditure inequality.

- The Gini Ratio in urban areas in September 2020 was recorded at 0.336, slightly decreasing compared to the Gini Ratio in March 2020 which was 0.338. On the other hand, the Gini Ratio in rural areas in September 2020 was recorded at 0.258, an increase compared to the Gini Ratio in March 2020 which was 0.255.

This means that population expenditure is still in the low level of inequality category. If broken down by region, in urban areas the figure is recorded at 20.18 percent and in rural areas the figure is 24.06 percent, which means that both are also in the low inequality category.
