An extensive cost of living survey has ranked Pakistan as the third cheapest country in the world.

The cheapest country to feature in the study is India, with a cost of living index of 24.14, followed by Moldova, Pakistan, Kazakhstan and Nepal. A little further down the list you’ll find Colombia, Serbia, The Philippines, South Africa and Romania.

10 most expensive cities in the world

The survey takes into account the price of around 50 items, including a wide variety of accommodation, food and drink from both supermarkets and restaurants, clothing, taxi fares, leisure activities, utility, internet and mobile phone bills.

The cheapest restaurant meals and apartments are found in Nepal, while Cuba has the cheapest cinema prices, public transport and electricity bills. The cheapest McDonalds combo meal is found in the Ukraine, and the cheapest pair of Levis 501s can be purchased in Uganda.

Of those countries among the cheapest 20, India has the most world heritage sites (32), Colombia has the highest life expectancy (79) and the highest percentage of forested land (54%).

The most expensive cities to live and work

Romania has the best average internet connection speed (12.8mbits per second), Moldova has the fewest roads (9,352kms), Bosnia and Herzogovina is the least urbanised, while a natural disaster is least likely to occur in the Ukraine.

The cheapest countries according to the survey feature are as follows:

4. Kazakhstan

5. Nepal

6. Ukraine

7. Georgia

Makes sense. Most products and services are dirt cheap in India. Things on the expensive side are usually imported or taxed overwhelmingly by govt. for eg, petroleum products, liquor or cigarettes, though internet services are an exception to this be it 4g or broadband, especially in tier 2 cities and small towns.:hitwall: Telecom OTOH is the cheapest in the world. I pay 1 paisa/sec.

so india is the cheapest ... great :D
Roza Makroh hojata hai LEKIN Game of Throne dekhne se Pakka hojata hai:p: on topic the survey is doubtful Australia is much expensive than Japan and Syria South Africa much better than India Pakistan I can't digest it.
 
. . . .
What I have heard is that many things are more expensive in India than Pakistan. For example, Pepsi and even coke.
 
.
i just want cheaper computer parts and video games....and they are NOT cheap in Pakistan :-(
 
.
I feel this list is kind of outdated especially about the most expensive countries because I was in Sweden and Iceland and I found Iceland cheaper than Sweden in every respect....from hiring the jeeps to visit hot springs/saunas to daily meals...But the list shows Sweden at 17 while Iceland at 5...However Switzerland is in the right position...it is expensive especially Zurich where a simple pizza costs around 25 CHF which in US one can have for 8 -12 USD...Norway also should slide down a bit after since Norwegian krona has been devalued due to recent depression in oil prices globally caused by KSA.
 
.
oh my, Pakistan third cheapest country? :cheesy:

Don't what people will do here, if it becomes, say, tenth or twentieth cheapest...
