most expensive city to live in the world
The most expensive cities in the world in 2017 are mostly in Asia. LONDON - Singapore remains the worldâs most expensive city to live in, a study showed on Tuesday, with two Japanese cities -- Tokyo and Osaka -- returning to the top 10 thanks to the strengthening of the yen. Almaty in Kazakhstan was the least expensive, followed by Lagos in recession-hit Nigeria. Only one U.S. city, New York, made the top 10 in the Economist Intelligence Unitâs twice-yearly âWorldwide Cost of Livingâ survey. It came in ninth, dropping two places on a slightly weaker dollar but still far higher than its No. 46 slot just five years ago.
