A recent study by the UK-based financial portal, Numbeo, has ranked Belgrade as the fifth most expensive city in Europe for single individuals. The research assessed cities based on cost of living indices, considering factors like rent, groceries, restaurant prices, and transportation. Sarajevo was identified as the most affordable city in the study. The ranking indicates a significant increase in living costs in Belgrade, potentially impacting residents’ disposable income. Numbeo’s data is based on user-contributed information and provides a comparative analysis of global cities. The study highlights the growing financial pressures faced by individuals living in major European capitals, with Belgrade now joining cities like Zurich, Geneva, and London in the upper echelons of expense.
