The French capital was the only eurozone city in the top 10, rising from the second most expensive last year and from seventh position two years ago.
SINGAPORE, Singapore - Paris has climbed to the top of the world's priciest city for expatriates, tied first with Singapore and Hong Kong according to a survey Tuesday that named the capital of strife-torn Venezuela as the cheapest.
The Economist Intelligence Unit said it was the first time in the more than three decades of the survey that three cities were equally ranked top after Singapore led the chart outright a year earlier. Currency appreciation, inflation and devaluation as well as political upheaval played a part in this year's rankings, said EIU, which surveyed 133 cities worldwide.
