Europe’s most expensive cities are mostly those that are not on the Euro. The most expensive city in Europe is Geneva (ranked 2 in the world), followed by Zurich
(ranked 3), making Switzerland the most expensive country in Europe
if not the world. Switzerland's currency has risen by 43% against the
euro between the start of 2010 and mid-August this year. The Swiss
National Bank, which conducts Switzerland’s monetary policy as an
independent central bank, recently announced that it will enforce a
minimum exchange rate of CHF 1.20 to the Euro. The Swiss National Bank
said that even at a rate of CHF 1.20 per euro, the Swiss franc is still
high and should continue to weaken over time. If the economic outlook
and deflationary risks so require, the SNB will take further measures.
