Minsk entered the TOP 10 cheapest cities in the world for foreigners, according to the study of the Cost of Living Survey, which is annually conducted by the consulting group Mercer. In Eastern Europe, Minsk was the most accessible city.
In the Mercer rating Minsk ranked 200th out of 209 (the lower ranking – the cheaper city for foreigners). Over the past year, Minsk rose in the world rating by 4 points thanks to the “relatively stable exchange rate of the US dollar,” the study authors note.
Minsk was cheaper than the capitals of neighboring countries. Moscow ranked 14th in the ranking, Riga by 126, Kiev by 163, Vilnius by 167, Warsaw by 180.
