Polish capital is 35th most expensive in the world
The cost of living in Warsaw has risen by 15% in the last year and is now catching up with other western European capitals in terms of cost of living.
The Mercer consultancy company, which compared 143 cities across the world, regarding cost of housing, public transport, food, clothes, entertainment and domestic appliances, found that Warsaw residents have to pay more for day-to-day items than people living in Berlin or Brussels.
Warsaw is now the 35th most costly capital to live in - one year ago it was 67th. The average employee earns three or four times less in Poland than they get in Germany.
