The most expensive cities in the world

Annual research consulting firm known for cost of living in major cities around the world brings the capital of Greece in Athens on the 28th position in the list of most expensive cities in the world.

The first location is in Tokyo (2nd last year), followed by Osaka (from 22nd), Moscow (from 1), Geneva (from 8th), Hong Kong (from 6th), Zurich (from 9th), Copenhagen (7th last year), New York (from 22nd), Beijing (from 20th) and Singapore (from 13th).

Please note that Athens fell three places compared to last year (28th from 25th), while the report's authors point out that overall European cities have recorded sharp reductions in the list (eg Warsaw fell from 35th to 113th place), and most European currencies fell against the dollar.
