According to a rating compiled by the Economist Intelligence Unit, Tel Aviv is revealed as the world’s most expensive city to live in (EIU). 

This year, the Israeli city of Tel Aviv is now the most expensive around the world when it comes to paying for everyday overheads such as rent, food, and drink, recreation, tobacco, transport, clothing, utilities, and petrol. Tel Aviv tops the rankings for the first time ever, climbing from fifth place last year, pushing Paris down into joint second-place with Singapore, London, meanwhile, is in 17th place. 

It is reported that Tel Aviv topped the rankings this year, mainly because the Israeli currency, the shekel, has appreciated, making local costs more expensive when translated into US-dollar terms. Property prices have also risen, especially in residential areas. 

Interestingly, Israel has also become the first country in the world to embark on a fourth COVID-19 vaccination campaign as part of efforts to stem rapidly rising infection rates caused by the Omicron variant, says The Guardian.
