A comparison of household expenses in the capitals of the Baltic States shows that the residents of Riga have the highest cost of living, according to a study conducted by the Institute of Private Finances of Swedbank, cites LETA.

A family of four that lives in a 70 square meter flat that they own and that was built during the Soviet period, spends 44% of their income in Riga, 41.5% in Vilnius, but in Tallinn – only 25.5% of the household income.

 

This means that a family of four with a typical model for housing costs, grocery and public transportation expenses spends around EUR 591 in Riga, around EUR 513 in Vilnius, and around EUR 499 in Tallinn.
