Die teuerste deutsche Stadt ist Berlin
Steigende Wohnkosten in vielen Städten auf der ganzen Welt verteuern auch Entsendungen von Mitarbeitern für Arbeitgeber. Ganz abgesehen davon, dass die Inflation die Kaufkraft verringert und für Unternehmen die Löhne sowie die Sozialabgaben für ihre Expats steigen. Das zeigt das neue Ranking der Unternehmensberatung Mercer.

„Die deutschen Städte belegen teilweise deutlich höhere Platzierungen als im Vorjahr,“ sagt Markus Kurth von Mercer bei Mercer. Auch wenn unter den Top-30 keine einzige deutsche Stadt vorkommt. Die teuerste deutsche Stadt ist Berlin auf Platz 31 des internationalen Rankings, auf Platz 35 folgt Frankfurt, München auf Platz 38, Düsseldorf auf Platz 51, Hamburg auf Platz 54, Stuttgart auf Platz 70, Nürnberg und Leipzig auf den Plätzen 85 und 86.
Waren in München und Stuttgart die Kosten schon vorher hoch, so stiegen die anderen deutschen Städte , die im Ranking fast unverändert geblieben sind, erheblich: Frankfurt kletterte 13 Plätze und Düsseldorf 23 Plätze höher, sagt Kurth.
Unter den Top-7 der teuersten Städte weltweit sind vier in der Schweiz….
Die sind die teuersten fünf Städte in Europa: Zürich, Genf, Basel, Bern und London…
Analysiert hat Mercer 226 Städte weltweit: Gemessen wurden die vergleichbaren Kosten für mehr als 200 Kostenfaktoren an jedem Ort wie Wohnen, Transport, Lebensmittel, Kleidung, Haushaltswaren und Unterhaltung. Die Ergebnisse sollen Unternehmen wichtige Informationen liefern, um für ihre Expats effiziente und transparente Vergütungspakete zu ermitteln. Die Zahlen für diesen Vergleich wurden in einer Umfrage im März 2024 erhoben.
New York ist preiswerter als die Schweizer Städte
