I don't have a source to cite to, but I remember recently hearing it was Moscow, followed by London, followed by New York.
-- Moscow is absolutely not the world's most expensive city. That source your referring to is the Mercer Cost of Living Index, and its trash. It only applies to people making over 200 thousand dollars a year. The basket of goods it uses consists of things like Luxury apartments, 5 start French restaurants, and other luxuries. I have no idea how the Mercer ranking became so widespread (well I do, because of CNN) but there are many other rankings out there. Honestly a survey that ends up telling you that Hanoi, Vietnam is more expensive that San Francisco isen't really worth that much. The Economist also come out with a list every year and it is far more believable.
- (3) Oslo/Norway
- (1) Tokyo/Japan
- (8) Reykjavik/Iceland
- (2) Osaka/Japan
- (4) Paris/France
- (5) Copenhagen/Denmark
- (7) London/Britain
- (6) Zurich/Switzerland
- (8) Geneva/Switzerland
- (10) Helsinki/Finland \
Here are the top ten. Moscow, by the ways, is number 29 in the world.

You are once again using the Mercer rankings. They are horrible rankings. I can't stress than enough! I take it you haven't travelled much, if at all, to actually think those rankings mean anything. Please read what I have written above as I went over the reasons why.
The rankings I linked you to were done by the Economist, not the Irish Business News, if you took the time to actually read them you would have known.
Anyways, probably the best rankings out there is actually done by UBS. Here is their top ten; 1
London120.2
2
Oslo112.3
3
Dublin105.2
4
Copenhagen102.6
5
New York100.0
6
Zurich97.7
7
Geneva96.0
8
Tokyo94.4
9
Helsinki92.8
10
Paris92.8
For the record. If you actually believe for one second that Beijing, China is more expensive than New York City then... I need your contact information, cause I got a bunch of cool stuff to sell you. $$

Tokyo can be expensive wherever you go in the city, but if you are referring to terms of the most stores or the most expensive items in the stores, i would say Tokyo metropolis. If you are ever out in that direction, its a beautiful city and has an amazing view at night.
