2023全球生活成本最贵城市榜单揭晓
According to the annual Worldwide Cost of Living Index that’s published by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the average cost of living rose by 7.4% this year. Grocery prices increased the fastest.
根据经济学人智库发布的年度全球生活成本指数，今年全球平均生活成本上涨了7.4%。食品杂货价格上涨得最快。
"Further escalations of the Israel-Hamas war would drive up energy prices, while a greater than expected impact from El Ni?o would push up food prices even further,” Upasana Dutt, Head of Worldwide Cost of Living at EIU, said in a statement.
经济学人智库全球生活成本部主管乌帕萨娜·达特在一份声明中写道：“以色列与哈马斯的战事升级将会推高能源价格，而厄尔尼诺现象超出预期的影响也会进一步抬高食品价格。”
