BRISBANE has been rated the world's 99th most expensive city in a ranking of 144 cities worldwide.

Brisbane's ranking, down from 84th in 2005, has emerged in a survey in which Moscow has eclipsed Tokyo as the city with the world's highest cost of living.

Brisbane's growing cheapness is likely to make it even more attractive to offshore companies, including Asian companies who would face higher costs moving staff to Beijing and Shenzen in China, according to the survey.

My info is from an Australian paper, but I'm looking through the UK papers now, but so far I have only found Glasgow in 60th position.

Most UK papers, that I have seen so far, have only listed London, and some other main European places.

It's a pity that the full list isn't available, but then the company preparing the report want to sell it, so probably wouldn't allow it all to be reprinted in full.


The report does state:

The choice of cities surveyed is based on the demand for data from companies and governmental organisations. Researchers compared the cost of various items, including the rent for a luxury two-bedroomed apartment and the costs of public transport.
