\n The study measured the comparative cost of over 200 items globally, including food, housing and transportation.
\nSingapore has emerged as the world\u2019s fourth most expensive city for expatriates, according to Mercer\u2019s annual cost of living survey.

\nOther cities that made it to the top ten list include Zurich in third place, Luanda sixth, N\u2019Djamena in Chad eighth and Bern, Switzerland in 10th place.
\nAsia\u2019s cities topped the list primarily due to currency fluctuations, noted the report.
\n\u201cStronger Chinese monetary regulation, a flourishing economy and a push to have the Chinese Yuan as an international currency pushed Chinese cities up in the ranking,\u201d said Yvonne Traber, Mercer\u2019s global mobility product solutions leader. \u201cHowever, significant surges in other locations worldwide caused Japanese cities, Osaka and Nagoya in particular, to fall in this year\u2019s ranking.\u201d
\nThe report uses New York as the base city for all comparisons, while currency movements are measured against the US dollar.
\nIncluding more than 375 global cities, this year\u2019s survey ranked 209 cities across five continents, measuring the comparative cost of over 200 items in these locations, including food, housing, transportation, clothing, entertainment and household goods.
