2021年世界上最昂贵的城市

China is forecast to become the world's biggest economy by 2028, but its commercial capital is already there: Shanghai is now the most expensive city in the world.

据预测，到2028年，中国将成为世界上最大的经济体，但它的商业首都已经在那里：上海现在是世界上最昂贵的城市。

Such is the amount of private wealth in Shanghai that exclusive purchases there are now more expensive than anywhere else in the world, including Hong Kong, the former world's most expensive city.

上海，现在比前一个世界上最贵的城市-香港-的私人财富的数量都要高，这让在这里的消费比世界上任何一个地方都更加昂贵。

These purchases include "degustation" dinners, lawyers and business class flights, according to Julius Baer, which looked at the cost of "a basket of goods and services that reflect the HNWI lifestyle."

据朱利叶斯·贝尔（Julius Baer）介绍，这些消费包括“品鉴”晚餐、律师和乘坐商务舱航班，该公司调查了“一系列反映高净值人士生活方式的商品和服务”的成本。

The Swiss bank wants to know what its clients—the super-rich—buy and how much it costs them in various cities around the world. Among its curious findings was that treadmills are more expensive in Shanghai than anywhere else, but health insurance is cheaper. London is the most expensive place for Lasik and New York for hotel rooms.

这家瑞士银行想知道超级富豪的客户购买了什么，以及他们在世界各个城市的花费。其中一个奇怪的发现是，跑步机在上海比其他任何地方都贵，但医疗保险更便宜。伦敦是做Lasik最贵的地方，纽约是酒店最贵的城市。

Methodology

The list has been created based on the Worldwide Cost of Living data set. The data set comprises 400 individual prices of 160 products and services across 130 cities in 90 countries. Data set was created covering a wide range of products including food and beverage to household supplies, personal care items to clothing. Services includes home rents to transport, utility bills and private schools to domestic help. The prices of commodities are gathered from three types of stores: supermarket, medium-priced retailers and more expensive specialty shops. Only those outlets were considered where the quality of the products are comparable to international standards. The prices of the services like house rents, transportation charges depends on several factors such as personal preferences and variety of choices. Therefore, the prices of these services are based on actual prices noted by the researchers. The prices were compared considering the New York as base city and all the prices were US dollars with the appropriate exchange rates at the time of survey.
