The most expensive and richest cities in the world
A report by UBS
15 September
2012: Oslo, Zurich and Tokyo are the most expensive
cities in the most recent UBS survey.American cities have moved up the table
mainly due to the rise of the US dollar compared to other currencies, in
particular the euro. However, the measures taken by the US Federal Reserve in
September 2012 may reverse the rise of US cities in the tables of most
expensive cities.
