The Worldwide Cost of Living is a twice-yearly survey conducted by EIU that compares more than 400 individual prices across more than 200 products and services in 172 cities (173 last year, when Kiev was included). Data for the survey, which has been carried out for more than 30 years, are collected each March and September by our global team of researchers. They are then compiled into an index by our team of economists for publication in June and December. The survey has been designed to enable human resources and finance managers to calculate cost-of-living allowances and build compensation packages for expatriates and business travellers. It can also be used by consumer goods firms and other companies to map pricing trends, determine optimum prices for their products across cities and understand the relative expense of a city to formulate policy guidelines.
To collect the data, each researcher has a list of more than 200 specified products and services to research, with more than 50,000 individual prices collected every six months. These include prices for food, drink, clothing, household supplies and personal care items, home rents, transport, utility bills, private schools, domestic help and recreational costs. Items are updated or revised periodically to reflect shifts in purchasing habits. For example, in the latest survey we have revised indicators such as those for mobile-phone services, and for taxis and other ride-hire services. To gather the price data, our researchers survey a range of stores, including supermarkets, mid-priced stores and higher-priced speciality outlets, as well as an array of service providers. The reported prices are not the recommended retail prices or manufacturers’ costs, but the actual costs charged. Our economists then convert the price data into a central currency (the US dollar), using the prevailing exchange rate and weighting to achieve comparative indices. The index uses an identical set of weights that is internationally based. Items are individually weighted across a range of categories, and a comparative index is produced using the relative difference by weighted item. For the purposes of this report, all cities are compared with a base city, New York City, which has an index score of 100. The survey can be accessed via the data tool or our purpose-built website; these allow for city-to- city comparisons.
