A survey by MoveHub, a company with a primary responsibility to help people move abroad, suggests that Ghana is the most expensive African country to live in.

According to MoveHub, its assessment rest on a range of costs, such as the price of groceries, transport, bills, restaurants and how much renting somewhere to live is.
Furthermore, the figures collected are then cut off into an index, using the infamously expensive city of New York as a benchmark.

New York in USA was given an index score of 100, therefore, any country with a score higher than 100 is more expensive than New York.

The republic of Ghana scored 53.89 percent out the standard 100 percent, making Ghana one of Africa's more prosperous nations.

According to MoveHub, the score this is reflected in the cost of living, which is higher than any other African nation and 20th in the world.
