Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Zimbabwe\u2019s capital, Harare, has been ranked fourth on the list of Africa\u2019s most expensive cities to live in.<\/p>\n

The rankings were based on a cost of living index compiled by Statista, a global statistics portal integrating diverse topics of data and facts into a single platform.<\/p>\n

According to the Statista index, Morocco and South Africa were countries with more representations among the 15 cities with the highest cost of living in Africa.<\/p>\n

The cost of living index is a \u201crelative indicator of consumer goods prices, including groceries, restaurants, transportation and utilities. Cost of Living Index does not include accommodation expenses such as rent or mortgage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Statista best describes the cost of living index as the amount of money needed to cover basic expenses such as housing, food, taxes, and healthcare in a certain place and time period. The cost of living is often used to compare how expensive it is to live in one city versus another.<\/p>\n

1. Dakar, Senegal: Has a cost of living index score of 50.87.<\/p>\n

2. Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: Has a cost of living index score of 50.49<\/p>\n

3. Abidjan, Ivory Coast: Has a cost of living index score of 47.06.<\/p>\n

4. Harare, Zimbabwe: Has a cost of living index score of 45.69.<\/p>\n

5. Johannesburg, South Africa: Has a cost of living index score of 44.87.<\/p>\n

6. Pretoria, South Africa: Has a cost of living index score of 42.76.<\/p>\n

7. Gaborone, Botswana: Has a cost of living index score of 42.7.<\/p>\n

8. Cape Town, South Africa: Has a cost of living index score of 40.98.<\/p>\n

11. Accra, Ghana: Has a cost of living index score of 38.74.<\/p>\n

12. Lagos, Nigeria: Has a cost of living index score of 37.33.<\/p>\n

13. Tangier, Morocco: Has a cost of living index score of 36.85.<\/p>\n

14. Casablanca, Morocco: Has a cost of living index score of 36.59.<\/p>\n

15. Kampala, Uganda: Has a cost of living index score of 35.98.<\/p>\n

The cost of living in Zimbabwe has been going up as the local currency shed value against other currencies while workers\u2019 salaries and wages remained unchanging.<\/p>\n
