Is the cost of living in Dhaka high?

"The cost of living in Dhaka is generally considered to be quite affordable. Basic necessities such as food, transportation, and housing are relatively inexpensive compared to other cities in the region. However, the cost of living can vary depending on the area of the city and the lifestyle of the individual. For example, living in a more affluent area of the city can be more expensive than living in a more rural area. Additionally, the cost of entertainment and leisure activities can also vary depending on the individual's preferences," said another expat in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
