In the list of the world's most expensive cities, it's still Singapore and Hong Kong that top the list.

The economist intelligence unit says that Asia actually holds five of the top 10 spots for the world's most expensive cities.

Asia currently makes up 40% of the global economy. And the international monetary fund predicts they will make up two-thirds of the worldwide growth by 2020.
