The US has become less expensive for expatriates relative to cities in Asia and Africa over the past year, says a cost of living comparison of 228 global cities.

The cost of living comparison prices goods and services that expatriates spend their salaries on, and reports indexes for 13 different basket groups using New York (100) as the base.

In terms of overall cost of living, New York is now the 28th most expensive global city and the 61st in terms of groceries. New York has dropped primarily due to the weakness of the US Dollar as well as the economic slowdown which appears to have slowed the increase in prices relative to other global cities.

The global cost of living comparison conducted by www.xpatulator.com shows London is the most expensive global location for expatriates, while 3 of the top 5 most expensive cities are in Asia, with Tokyo, Seoul, and Hong Kong ranked 2nd, 3rd, and 5th respectively in terms of overall cost of living.

8. Geneva, Switzerland (110.06)
9. Hamilton, Bermuda (109.63)
10.Luanda, Angola (108.51)

This means that overall goods or services that cost USD$100 in New York, cost the equivalent of USD$126.63 in London, and USD$108.51 in Luanda.

Overall Cost of Living Comparison – Bottom 10

8. La Paz, Bolivia (53.54)
9. Asmara, Eritrea (54.49)
10.Tashkent, Uzbekistan (56.06)

This means that overall, goods or services that cost USD$100 in New York, cost the equivalent of just USD$16.44 in Harare, and USD$53.54 in La Paz.

The cost of living varies from one location to another and by type of expense, mainly due to local supply and demand variations in each location. In some cities, groceries are more costly while accommodation is relatively less costly and vice versa.

In terms of groceries Seoul is the most expensive. Africa however has 6 of the 10 most expensive cities, Brazzaville, Accra, Lagos, Abidjan, Kinshasa, and Luanda.

Grocery Cost of Living Comparison – Top 10

3. Ashgabat Turkmenistan
4. Accra, Ghana
5. Lagos, Nigeria
6. Copenhagen, Denmark
7. Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire
8. Kinshasa Congo Democratic Rep
9. Luanda, Angola
10.Oslo, Norway

When establishing a salary for a global assignment it is essential that the items the expatriate will actually spend their salary on are included in the cost of living calculation. Similarly the items that are provided for the expatriate should be excluded from the cost of living calculation. If the incorrect items are included or excluded, large variations in the calculation of cost of living are likely. As an example London is ranked as the most expensive global location in terms of overall cost of living, but is only ranked 26th most expensive location for groceries.

Africa and Asia are becoming relatively more expensive than other global cities after lagging for decades; organisations need to factor this into expatriate pay calculations for global assignments.
