Moscow is the world’s most expensive city for expatriates for
the second consecutive year, according to the latest Cost of Living
Survey from Mercer Human Resource Consulting. London is in second
position, climbing three places since last year. Seoul moves down
one place in the ranking to take third place, followed by Tokyo in
fourth. Asuncion in Paraguay is the least expensive city for the
fifth year running.
With New York as the base city scoring 100 points, Moscow scores
134.4 and is over two-and-a-half times costlier than Asuncion,
which has an index of 50. Even so, the gap between the world’s most
and least expensive cities appears to be narrowing.
Mercer’s survey covers 143 cities* across six continents and
measures the comparative cost of over 200 items in each location,
including housing, transport, food, clothing, household goods and
entertainment. It is the world’s most comprehensive cost of living
survey and is used to help multinational companies and governments
determine compensation allowances for their expatriate
employees.
