Agadir living costs What budget to live on?
Cost of living : Introduction
The cost of living is an assessment of the average cost of household consumption expenditure in a given region.
However, the indices used to measure inflation (such as the consumer price index) do not allow us to measure changes in the cost of living.
To accurately measure these changes, we must include variations in the quantities consumed.
Moreover, the cost of living is higher in developed countries than in emerging countries, and even higher compared to developing countries.
This phenomenon is known as the Balassa-Samuelson effect. For instance, 2 US dollars in the United States or 2 US dollars in Somalia will not correspond at all to the same purchasing power.
In other words, they do not equate to the same quantity of marketable goods and services that can be purchased.
Furthermore, the cost of living is one of the current societal issues in Europe.
In addition to the high cost of living, spatial disparities are emerging.
For example, a household’s shopping basket in Germany is around 30% cheaper than in France.
