Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The world’s most expensive cities in which to live in 2023
Only a few weeks left to close 2023. How was the year like for your wallets? The good news is the rate of inflation seems decelerating from 8.1% last year to 7.4% because of higher interest rates, slowing economic activity, and thus lower consumer demands. The bad news is prices are rising in most places in the world due to inflation, armed conflicts, and extreme weather conditions fueled by global warming and El Nino. Then if you compare the cost of living, which major cities are more expensive to live in this year? Among 173 major cities in the world, Zurich and Singapore are found to be the most expensive cities to live in, according to the annual Worldwide Cost of Living Index by the Economist Intelligence Unit. Genova, New York, Los Angles, and San Francisco are also among the top 10 list, partly due to strong Swiss Frac and US dollar. What about your place? Has your income increased more than inflation?
Read the article and learn about the places where the cost of living is more expensive than the rest of the world.
