2024
Lesotho scores better than the average scores of countries in its region and income group, and higher than the global average, yet there is ample room for improvement relative to top performing countries.
Component Score
2024
Lesotho scores well in price and tax structure, mid-range in affordability, and poorly in tax share. Lesotho would greatly benefit from increasing the tax share of price.
Scores Over Time
Lesotho's overall score increased between 2018 and 2024 due to an increase in price and the tax share of price, reduction in cigarette affordability, and improvement in the tax structure.
