In the 2021 Worldwide Cost of Living report, the Economist Intelligence Unit found that cities in the Middle East and Africa were among the cheapest in the world. Damascus, Syria, was the cheapest city in this report.
Damascus scored 12 and ranked 173rd out of 173 countries involved in the survey. The EIU attributed the low prices of goods and services in Damascus to the ongoing war in Syria.
Tripoli, Libya, was the second cheapest city in the world with a score of 23. Similar to Damascus, Tripoli is also experiencing political and economic challenges, leading to depressed prices of goods and services.
Tashkent, Uzbekistan, was the third cheapest city with a score of 30. Tunis ranked fifth with a score of 33, and Almaty ranked fourth with a score of 35.
The EIU's ranking of the most expensive cities was conducted by comparing the prices of goods and services in a city with those in New York. The EIU surveyed 173 cities worldwide.
