The world's most expensive city in 2016

New York and Los Angeles have shot up the rankings, London has pushed into the top ten, but Singapore is still the world's most expensive city.

It's just topped the Economist Intelligence Unit's 2016 Worldwide Cost of Living survey, making that the third year in a row.

The gap is closing between Singapore and the next two cities in the rankings, however.

Zurich, Switzerland, and Hong Kong are hot on its heels in joint second place, with Hong Kong leaping seven places up the ranking in the last twelve months.

London, New York and Los Angeles moved up to sixth, seventh and eight place, with New York in its highest position since 2002.
