Overall Score
2022
Latvia 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
2022
Latvia scores well in tax share but scores poorly in affordability change, and in the mid-range in cigarette price and tax structure. It would greatly benefit from reducing the cigarette affordability, higher cigarette prices, and improving the tax structure.
Scores Over Time
Latvia's overall score remained constant over time after its slight increase in 2016 due to an increase in the tax share of price.
