Which country has the most expensive postal charges? BBC News

Following the announcement of postage price increases in the UK, the BBC ran an article exploring Royal Mail’s claim that the UK would not be the most expensive place in the world to post a letter. Which countries earn that dubious honour?

The Royal Mail pointed out the UK will remain the cheapest place in Europe to post a certain type of letter – a heavy letter, weighing between 50g (1.76oz) and 100g (3.53oz), if you post it second class.
The full article, which appeared in the BBC News Magazine, can be downloaded here.
