How much it costs to go on a date in Joburg vs major global cities
Zurich is the most expensive place out of 47 major global cities to have dinner, see a film, take a taxi or combine these on a ‘cheap date’, according to new data by Deutsche Bank.
A date night out for two costs $195.90 (R2,645) in the Swiss city, while Japan’s Tokyo and Oslo in Norway are next on the list of the priciest places for courtship, Deutsche Bank’s special report: Mapping the World’s Prices 2017 found.
However, Zurich also has the highest average salaries, followed by US cities and Sydney. People living in Jakarta, Manila or Rio could potentially increase their salary tenfold by moving to the Swiss city.
London has slipped out of the top 10 cities for salaries following the depreciation of sterling after the Brexit vote.
Joburg is one of the cheaper cities polled by Deutsche Bank – with a night out for two costing just over $60 (R810).
Meanwhile, the so-called “bad habits index” of beer and cigarettes is led by Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, while it is cheapest to indulge in the Czech Republic and South Africa.
Researchers collected the data by surveying prices on the internet as well as by using crowdsourcing techniques.
