The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the analytical arm of the British magazine The Economist, published last Tuesday updated rating of the most expensive cities for life on the planet.
In the first ever history of its existence on the first line climbed Singapore: EIU analysts coolly awarded the Asian city-state the palm of primacy, formerly owned by the Japanese capital .The decisive factors in determining the winner were insanely expensive public services and the world's highest tax on owning a personal car (for example, the acquisition of a simple Toyota Corolla will cost the local resident at least $ 100,000 with all fees and charges) .The second place in the list went to Paris, and the top three winners were traditionally closed by the road Oslo .Totally the first ten is as follows:
- Singapore;
- Paris;
- Oslo;
- Zurich;
- Sydney;
- Caracas;
- Tokyo;
- Frankfurt;
- London;
- Shanghai.
Moscow is not far from the winners, taking the 13th place. However, as shown by the general statistical picture, life in the vast majority of European cities in the last five years has fallen slightly.
