Dear Peter,
The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) will be publishing the 30th edition of its Worldwide Cost of Living (WCOL) Survey this week. Like those before, this edition has seen cities quickly rise and fall throughout the index, with two new cities climbing into the top spot. Importantly, results from this year’s survey indicate that the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic has had a significant impact on nearly all of the cost-of-living indicators that the EIU measures.
To mark the release of the latest WCOL survey, I will be hosting an exclusive webinar with John Ferguson, director of country analysis, and Arindam Dey, the EIU’s economics unit director, on Wednesday, 25 November to discuss:
- Index results from the latest edition of the Worldwide Cost of Living Survey
- How Covid-19 is affecting the prices of consumer goods
- The impact of Covid-19 on employee expense trends
- Price trends we are likely to see in 2021
