It is designed to help hiring managers calculate fair salaries when relocating their employees overseas.\n\n![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmWg47mDCeTdqAANqr2WygiJ6TfmC7TktukrJGrMwiATs2\/image.png)\n\nSingapore's top ranking is reflective of a regional trend,<br> with the costs of living picking up across parts of Asia as their economies expand. The Southeast Asian financial centre was joined in the top 10 by Seoul,<br> which ranked in seventh position,<br> as well as Hong Kong and Sydney.\n\nHowever,<br> some of the world's cheapest cities are still in Asia,<br> such as India and Pakistan.\n\nEurope,<br> too,<br> continues to be expensive \u2014 Paris,<br> Zurich,<br> Oslo,<br> Geneva and Copenhagen appeared in the top 10. The only city outside of Asia or Europe to appear in the top 10 was Tel Aviv.\n\nMeanwhile,<br> the weakening of the U.S. dollar in 2017 caused New York and Los Angeles to slip to 13th and 14th positions,<br> respectively.\n\nBangalore,<br> Chennai,<br> Karachi and New Delhi all featured among the top 10 cheapest locations this year.\n\nThey were joined by Damascus,<br> Caracus,<br> Almaty,<br> Lagos,<br> Algiers and Bucharest.\n\n\n Karen Gilchrist\t| @_karengilchrist\nhttps:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2018\/03\/14\/singapore-named-the-worlds-most-expensive-city-to-live-in.html",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"life\",<br>\"travel\",<br>\"money\",<br>\"investing\",<br>\"news\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmbhtdG8fJJn6EUDJwVXXHyxS3EKDzDT8e7ph7r85R4PJR\/image.png\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmWg47mDCeTdqAANqr2WygiJ6TfmC7TktukrJGrMwiATs2\/image.png\" ,<br>\"links\":[\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2018\/03\/14\/singapore-named-the-worlds-most-expensive-city-to-live-in.html\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" "
