Cost of Living
The ACCRA Cost of Living
Index provides a useful and reasonably accurate measure of relative
price levels for consumer goods and services among participating urban
areas. The average for all participating places, both metropolitan and
non-metropolitan, equals 100, and each participant's index is read as
a percentage of the average for all places.
