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.
