"After a decade, EU-wide inequality finally regained its previous low level of 2009. This achievement was driven by the relatively strong growth in the poorer member states between the Baltics and the Balkan. The second driver of EU-wide inequality, within-country inequality, has hardly contributed to this development, as it has remained relatively stable or even increased. The EU could and should do more to promote catch-up growth and to encourage redistributive policies within member states."
