The cost of living in Taiwan
A Big Mac here is $2.47, the cheapest of any country we track (1st lowest overall). The Big Mac's fixed recipe makes it a handy yardstick for comparing prices between countries.
A litre of gasoline costs about $1.00 in Taiwan($3.80 per US gallon), the 27th cheapest of 170countries. Fuel prices are driven as much by tax and subsidy policy as by the oil market, which is why they vary far more between countries than crude prices ever do.
Household electricity costs about $0.098 per kilowatt-hour in Taiwan, the 47th cheapest of 134 countries. Like fuel, power prices are shaped heavily by how a country generates energy and whether it subsidises or taxes consumption, which is why they diverge far more than raw production costs would suggest.
