How expensive is it?

Price level (US = 100), 198 countries & territories. How far a US dollar goes: the general price level of goods and services compared with the United States (= 100), computed as GDP per person at market exchange rates ÷ GDP per person at purchasing-power parity (World Bank). This is the price level ratio of the PPP conversion factor to the exchange rate — an economy-wide measure, not an expat cost-of-living index for rents or city prices.
