Hello everyone,

Zurich remains one of the more expensive cities in the world for expatriates as reveals Mercer International firm in its latest cost of living report published on Wednesday June 22. Zurich ranks 3rd worldwide, overtaken this year by Hong Kong and Luanda ranking 1st and 2nd respectively. Singapore and Tokyo, for their part, rank 4th and 5th respectively.
The survey takes into account the price comparison of over 200 products and services, namely, housing, transportation, clothing, food, household goods and entertainment in 375 cities worldwide. Geneva, on the other hand, ranks 8th, dropping down three places compared to the previous year while Bern ranks 13th, dropping down four places.
The ranking of these three Swiss cities is said to be the result of the weakening of the Swiss franc compared to the US dollar.
