Colombia is Latin America’s second most unequal country in the Americas after Honduras, according to updated World Bank statistics.
According to the international financial institution, Colombia’s GINI coefficient was 53.5, the same as in 2012.
Honduras’ GINI coefficient was a fraction higher, 53.7, but steeply dropping.
While still among the hemisphere’s most unequal countries, ongoing attempts to reduce poverty has diminished the wealth disparity in Colombia, which was still at 60.1 in 2006 when Colombia was by far the hemisphere’s most unequal country.
