Israel: Tel Aviv, Israel, is presently the world's most expensive city to live in, according to a semiannual report by the Economist Intelligence Unit.

"Over the coming year, we anticipate to see the value of living increase further in various cities as salaries grow in numerous sectors," stated Upasana Dutt, head of a global cost of living at the Economist Intelligence Unit.
"But, we are further expecting central banks to raise interest rates, guardedly, to stem inflation. So the price hikes should begin to moderate from this year's level," she added.
