As part of its semi-annual update on
"mapping the world's prices", Deutsche Bank has released the
following index which we believe may be of interest to some of our more
cash-strapped readers. Using a price parity calculation, DB has created the
"cheap date" index which consists of i) a standard bouquet of
roses, ii) cab rides, iii) pizza, iv) a soft drink, v) two movies tickets and
vi) a couple of beers. What the "hit rate" of said basket of
products in achieving the desired goal is unclear, but what is clear is that
while the disparity between the most expensive (Sydney, Australia) and least
expensive (Mumbai, India) place for a cheap date is vast at over 250%, and
even a cheap date in Mumbai will set one back some $88.30 (and rising... the
price that is). For the interesting charts, click: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-04-08/most-expensive-places-world-cheap-date |
