Hong Kong has been replaced by Ashgabat in Turkmenistan as the most expensive city

Dublin is the fourth most expensive city in the eurozone, for immigrant workers.

The list, which was compiled by consulting company Mercer, placed Ireland in 39th place globally, up seven spots from last year.

Hong Kong has been replaced by Ashgabat in Turkmenistan as the most expensive city while Zurich was named the priciest city to live in in Europe.

The survey, which bases its findings on food, transport and housing costs, found Ireland’s housing crisis to be one of the main factors raising cost of living standards in Dublin .
