Nowadays, everyone dreams of living in a big and nice city.
However, rising inflation has made this dream even more difficult to achieve.
According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, there are 5 cities in the world with the highest inflation rates.
At the top of this list is Hong Kong, which is the most expensive city due to real estate prices and limited land availability.
In second place is Singapore, which is quite expensive in terms of accommodation and food.
New York City also ranks high in terms of cost of living. Due to its status as a business, fashion, and lifestyle hub, the demand for real estate is always high.
London, the capital of Britain, is also fourth on this list. Its excellent business environment, renowned schools, and luxurious lifestyle make it expensive.
Geneva is a city in Switzerland where property prices are very high.
People would love to live in all of these countries, but due to the high cost of living, not everyone can afford to live there.
