Top 20 most expensive cities to rent as an expat

LUXEMBOURG - April 28, 2016 - PRLog -- Major highlights
• London Centre is still the most expensive place in the world for expats to rent a flat
• US cities notably progress in the ranking
• Moscow continues to fall down the ranking
• The first euro zone city is only 25^th: Paris

Top locations of this ranking remain unchanged since last year; major changes concern the rise of US cities and the fall of all locations where expats pay their rents in euro.

For the third consecutive year, London is the most expensive place in the world for an expat to rent a flat.

Hong Kong, Tokyo and New York also keep their positions because of strong currencies and still more expensive rents.

Luanda, Angola's capital, confirms its status of most expensive African city in spite of the strong price decreases reported on the rental market in 2015. Luanda also benefits from the strength of the dollar since expats usually pay their rents in this currency.
