The report, released on Wednesday, focused on the cost of living for expatriate workers in world cities, cost of housing, transport, clothing and fast food.

Luanda knocked Hong Kong off the top spot in the annual survey making it the second time in three years the city topped the survey.

Lagos, the commercial capital of Nigeria, is ranked 29th out of 209 cities and is not also among the top five African cities that are most expensive.
