KARACHI: Generally it is considered that big cities like Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad are expensive cities to live, but you would be surprised to know that the most expensive cities in the country are neither of these big cities.
Dera Ismail Khan, a city of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has been labelled as the most expensive city of Pakistan.
This was revealed by the State Bank of Pakistan in one of its report.
For The News Tribe’s readers interest we have been listing the top 25 most expensive cities of the country.
(Tomorrow a report on ’15 Least Expensive Cities of Pakistan’ will be published on The News Tribe. So stay tuned with TNT)
