What are the world\u2019s most expensive cities to live? Singapore and Zurich, Switzerland have tied to secure the top spot, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit\u2019s Worldwide Cost of Living survey.<\/p>\n

This marks Singapore\u2019s ninth time in 11 years at the top of the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) list as the world\u2019s most expensive city, sharing it with Zurich this year, which climbed from sixth place in 2022.<\/p>\n

The survey, conducted from August 14 to September 11 covered 173 cities, comparing over 400 prices for more than 200 products and services. Singapore\u2019s ranking was a result of high costs in groceries, alcohol, clothing and private car ownership. Zurich\u2019s ascent was fueled by elevated prices for household items and recreational activities.<\/p>\n

The survey reveals a trend of cities facing higher prices due to inflation, with a 7.4% year-on-year increase in prices for over 200 goods and services\u2014a decrease from the previous year but still significantly higher than the trend from 2017 to 2021.<\/p>\n

New York City, which shared the top spot with Singapore last year, tied to share the third spot with Geneva, Switzerland. Two other U.S. cities made the top 10 list of the world\u2019s most expensive cities to live: Los Angeles and San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Despite inflation being lower in Asia compared to other regions, in addition to Singapore at number one, another Asian city made it to the top 10: Hong Kong, which secured the fifth spot.<\/p>\n

Notably, Western Europe featured prominently due to inflation in groceries and clothing, coupled with currency appreciation. The four European cities on the list were Zurich (at number 2), Geneva (number 4), Paris (number 7) and Copenhagen, Denmark (tied at number 8).<\/p>\n

Tel Aviv ranked among the top 10 most expensive places to live\u2014tying with Copenhagen at number 8\u2014but the survey was conducted before the Israel-Hamas war.<\/p>\n

The EIU anticipates a deceleration of inflation next year but warns of potential increases in energy prices due to the Israel-Hamas conflict and the impact of unexpected El Ni\u00f1o conditions on food prices.<\/p>\n

In addition to the world\u2019s most expensive cities to live, the EIU also ranked the world\u2019s most affordable cities to live, with Damascus, Syria coming in as the least expensive place to live.<\/p>\n
