Cost of living in Warsaw

Warsaw has had 15 years ago, without  but very few noticing that, the crown of the cheapest and most vibrant European capital for nightlife. That has been steadily changing every year until 2019. Covid pandemic management has had a discrete effect mainly in reducing the efficiency and quality of city services and a relative impact on prices. However what has dramatically changed the cost of living has been the conflict still ongoing at the borders between Russia and Ukraine. Now the ratio between wages and cost of living is not that convenient for Expats that cannot aspire to get well paid job positions. The most important factor is the cost of the rent not only due to an increase of demand (some Ukrainians have established themselves in Warsaw but the overall population in Warsaw has been stable around 1.800.000 people) but to aggressive speculative real-estate business and speculative greed of household owners. Currently Expats should consider Warsaw not necessarily as a first choice but consider other available options also.
