Zurich and Singapore have been identified as the most costly cities globally.

Zurich and Singapore have been ranked as the world's priciest cities. Singapore's notable ascent from sixth place in the previous year's list is linked to the robust Swiss Franc and elevated costs in groceries, household items, and recreation. Additionally, the high expenses associated with transportation and clothing in Singapore were highlighted as contributing factors.

Groceries and alcohol were the most costly in Asian cities, according to the survey.
