Cost Of Living in Guinea-Bissau in 2023
The cost of living in Guinea-Bissau has been on the rise in recent years. Housing costs in major cities like Bissau are quite high, with the average monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment being around 332$ – 506$. Food prices have also increased, with a standard basket of groceries for a family of four now costing about 900$ per month. Transportation can take a bite out of the average household’s budget too, with bus and metro tickets costing 1$ – 1$ per ride on average. However, some costs are more affordable in Guinea-Bissau, like healthcare which is heavily subsidized. The monthly energy bill for an average sized house comes out to only 17$ – 104$.
