Thus, in the Czech Republic 20 percent of the wealthiest citizens recorded 3.5 times higher incomes than 20 percent of the poorest, in Slovenia the income difference was 3.6 times, in Slovakia and Finland 6 times, in Bulgaria 8.2 times, in Lithuania 7.1 times, in Romania seven times in 2017, in Spain and Greece 6.6 times, in Latvia and Italy 6.3 times, according to data published on Thursday by the European Statistical Office (Eurostat)
