Philippines Cited as One of World's Cheapest Countries to Live in

By:  Alixandra Caole Vila (Philippine Star)

The infographic was made based on figures taken from Numbeo, a site where global users including supermarket companies, government institutions and press reports among others, submit the prices of goods and services in their country.  Specifically, data from July 1, 2013 to Jan. 2, 2015 were used in the study.
This infographic shows the countries with the cheapest and most expensive living cost based on data taken from Numbeo. Screengrab from Movehub.
According to Movehub, “the Consumer Price Index, used to determine the difference in the living costs between countries takes into account the prices of groceries, transportation, restaurants and utilities.”
The living costs in each country are measured against a base of 100, which represents New York City's cost of living.  For example, the data below show that living in Philippines is 60 percent less expensive than living in New York City. Below are the 15 countries with the cheapest costs of living, according to Numbeo's data.

Meanwhile, the study found out that Western European countries are among the most expensive places to live in. Switzerland's cost of living is highest, barely edging out Norway. The data show that living in Switzerland is over 26 percent more expensive than living in New York City. Singapore is the only Asian country on the list.
