Fin24 reports that a new survey by human resource consultancy Mercer ranks Cape Town and Johannesburg among the least expensive cities in the world for expatriate workers. Luanda in Angola is the second most expensive for international companies.
“The world’s least expensive cities for expatriates, according to Mercer’s survey, are Windhoek (209), Cape Town (208), and Bishkek (207),” said Mercer in a report released on Wednesday entitled Cost of Living Survey. Johannesburg was ranked in 205th.
