This independent interactive companion presents six selected tables from Mapping the World’s Prices – 2026, published by Deutsche Bank Research Institute on 13 July 2026. Authors: Jim Reid and Galina Pozdnyakova. It is not an official Deutsche Bank website.
The report draws primarily on Numbeo’s crowdsourced database, with cleaning and cross-checks by Deutsche Bank. These are reported observations, not live quotes. Crowdsourced data contains noise; focus on broad patterns. Historical values are nominal USD, not adjusted for inflation.
Prices use the report’s category definitions. Rent refers to a one-bedroom apartment in the city centre; net salary is monthly and after tax. Missing observations are shown as unavailable. Rankings in this explorer are calculated for the selected year and filtered sample.
