People seem to have a misconception about the buying power in Brazil; especially in the rich thriving cities like Curitibia, Porto Alegre, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Florianopolis.
A new study reveals that Sao Paulo is the 3d most expensive city in the world, with only Oslo and Copenhagen proceeding it.
The study was based on product price comparisons of 26 products in 33 countries.
Shockingly enough there is no American city at all on the list.
Here’s the ranking:
1. Oslo, Norway
2. Copenhagen, Denmark
3. Sao Paulo, Brasil
4. Paris, France
5. Reykjavik, Iceland
6. Stockholm, Sweden
7. Helsinki, Finland
8. Dublin, Ireland
9. Sydney, Australia
10. Rome, Italy
11. Tokyo, Japan
12. Amsterdam, Netherlands
13. Vienna, Austria
14. Brussels, Belgium
15. Berlin, Germany
16. Cape Town, South Africa
And Sao Paulo does indeed have spending power (not even referring to Campinas). Just go a night out in Sao Paulo, you’ll be surprised by the sheer size of the Paulista Jeunesse Dorée.
