The 20 cheapest and most expensive countries in the world
April 01, 2017
The map (Which you can find following the link) shows the world according to Numbeo's cost of living survey, which takes into account the price of around 50 items, including a wide variety of accommodation, food and drink from both supermarkets and restaurants, clothing, taxi fares, leisure activities, utility, internet and mobile phone bills.
The cheapest country to feature in the study is India, with a cost of living index of 24.14, followed by Moldova, Pakistan, Kazakhstan and Nepal. Should none of those appeal, a little further down the list you'll find Colombia, Serbia, The Philippines, South Africa and Romania.
Can't decide where to go? The cheapest restaurant meals and apartments are found in Nepal, Cuba has the cheapest cinema prices, public transport and electricity bills, the cheapest McDonalds combo meal is found in the Ukraine, and the cheapest pair of Levis 501s can be purchased in Uganda (note: only those countries which returned prices for every category appear in the map above).
Or perhaps the following facts might sway your decision? Of those countries among the cheapest 20, India has the most World Heritage Sites (32), Colombia has the highest life expectancy (79) and the highest percentage of forested land (54%), Romania has the best average internet connection speed (12.8mbits per second), Moldova has the fewest roads (9, 352kms), Bosnia and Herzogovina is the least urbanised, while a natural disaster is least likely to occur in the Ukraine.
The most expensive place to live, meanwhile, is Bermuda - a British Overseas Territory - which has a cost of living index of 133.68. Switzerland, The Bahamas, Norway and Iceland complete the top five, while the UK comes 12th, and the US 21st.
