The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) CityData

EIU’s CityData contains pricing information on over 160 products and services in 140 cities worldwide, gathered from the EIU Worldwide Cost of Living Survey. More than 50,000 individual prices are collected by field correspondents in each survey. Prices are given for various stores: supermarkets, mid-priced stores, and higher-priced specialty outlets. Prices cover: National economic indicators; Food and drink; Household supplies; Personal care; Tobacco; Clothing; Utilities; Domestic help; Recreation; Transport; Office and residential rents; Schools, health and sports; Business trip costs; Salaries and disposable incomes. Prices correspond to the price the customer is charged, not recommended retail prices or manufacturers’ costs. Use CityData to support your market entry strategy, assess international pricing for a specific product(s), analyze historical pricing patterns for goods and services since 1990, compare the cost of doing business worldwide, and perform city-to-city pricing comparisons. EIU CityData provides the most complete picture of global price levels. More information is available at EIU CityData Information.
