Tel Aviv is the city with the highest cost of living
英誌エコノミストの調査部門エコノミスト・インテリジェンス・ユニット（ＥＩＵ）が発表した世界の生活費ランキング２０２１年版で、イスラエル中部の商業都市テルアビブが初めて首位に浮上しました
Tel Aviv, a commercial city in central Israel, has risen to the top for the first time in the 2021 edition of the Global Living Expenses Ranking released by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the research division of the English magazine Economist.
This year, EIU examined the prices of more than 200 products and services in 173 cities around the world, 40 more than last year, and compared living expenses based on New York.
The survey has been going on for over 30 years and is conducted every March and September.
While living expenses have risen in major cities around the world due to supply chain disruptions and changes in demand, the rise in food and transportation costs has been particularly noticeable in Tel Aviv.
The soaring exchange rate of the Israeli currency Shekel against the dollar also had an effect.
Paris and Switzerland Zurich lined up at the top of last year
This year Paris was second with Singapore and Zurich was fourth.
This year’s 5th place is Hong Kong, 6th place is New York, 7th place is Geneva, 8th place is Copenhagen, 9th place is Los Angeles, 10th place is Osaka.
As in the past, cities in Europe, the United States and developed Asian countries dominate the top ranks.
Especially due to the soaring crude oil price, the price of unleaded gasoline has risen by 21%.
