This paper aims to study the relationship between ICT development, export diversification, and income inequality. The study is based on the analysis of data for 83 countries from 2002 to 2019 using the panel quantile regression method. The results of the analysis indicate that ICT has a negative impact on the level of income inequality, and this effect is more pronounced in countries with a high Gini coefficient. Export diversification also contributes to a more equal income distribution, and this effect is more pronounced in countries with low and medium levels of inequality. Moreover, the interaction of the ICT index with the export concentration index has a negative effect on income inequality, and the effect is stronger at the upper quantiles of the distribution. Accordingly, countries with high income inequality should pay special attention to the digitalization of the economy and strengthening export diversification.
