The 2024 database for the Commitment to Reducing Inequality Index has been completed, after a six-month process of data compilation and checking, expanding the number of countries covered to 164 from 161 in 2022 – with the addition of Iraq, Montenegro and Somalia. The joint DFI-Oxfam team is now in the process of writing the analytical report based on the index results, which will also contain a special thematic chapter analysing what the IMF, United Nations and World Bank should do now to enhance their work to help countries reduce inequality. The report will be launched at the IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings in October.
