Once the Most Expensive City in the World

Luanda topped global cost-of-living rankings for expatriates repeatedly in the 2010s, driven by oil money and an almost total dependence on imports. The rankings have since moved on; the imports have not.

The clock: Luanda keeps UTC+1. Angola is among the largest oil producers in Africa, and the city grew from around 500,000 to over eight million during and after the civil war.
