Abstract
The article consists of three main parts. The first part introduces concepts of directional Lorenz curve and directional Gini index, generalized then to obtain suitable terms concerning concentration measures. In the second part some inequality indices are introduced, which present a grade approach to multivariate datasets. As an example three datasets concerning five banks and three variables (deposits, Polish currency loans and foreign currency loans) are considered. The final part consists of comparison of grade approach to approach proposed by Mosler and Koshevoy, followed by a short account of some other concepts of inequality measurement
