生活成本指数

经济学人智库生活成本指数编辑乔恩•科派斯塔克表示，最显著的变化之一是澳大利亚生活成本的上升，它的两个城市悉尼和墨尔本分别名列第三和第五。

Jon Copestake , editor of the EIU Worldwide Cost of Living Index , said one of the most notable changes was the rising costs in Australia , with Sydney third in the list and Melbourne fifth .

经济学人智库全球生活成本指数发现，亚洲和澳大利亚共有11个城市跻身全球最贵20城市之列，其余有8个是欧洲城市，一个为南美城市。

Asia and Australia account for 11 of the world 's top 20 most expensive cities , with eight from Europe and one from South America , the Economist Intelligence Unit 's ( EIU ) worldwide cost of living index found .

加拿大城市温哥华依然是北美地区最贵城市，在生活成本指数榜单上名列第21位。

The Canadian city of Vancouver remains the most expensive location in North America , ranked 21st in the index .

科派斯塔克说，人们对经济紧缩和欧元稳定的忧虑使得过去一年欧元区城市的生活成本指数降低了，而加拉加斯能跻身前20则是由于人为的高汇率管制。

Copestake said fears over economic austerity and the stability of the euro had pushed the index of euro zone cities down in the past year while the inclusion of Caracas was due to artificially high exchange rate controls .
