Tashkent has been included in the list of ten cheapest cities in the world for foreigners, the consulting agency Mercer writes.
The agency annually ranks cities by cost of living for expats. It measures the relative value of more than 200 categories in each city — including housing, transportation, food, clothing, home appliances, and entertainment.
The capital of Uzbekistan ranked tenth in the rating of the cheapest cities for foreigners, losing three positions in a year.
For expats in Central Asia, the cheapest places to live are Dushanbe and Bishkek. Islamabad, Karachi (both Pakistan) and Havana (Cuba) are recognized as the cheapest cities in the world.
The world's ten most expensive places include five European cities, of which four are in Switzerland, and the fifth is Copenhagen. The first two places are taken by Asian cities: Hong Kong and Singapore. This list also includes New York, Tel Aviv and Nassau (Bahamas).
This year, Mercer researchers note inflationary pressures around the world. When analyzing the consumer basket, they singled out sugar, vegetable oil and butter, the prices of which increased the most.
