Hong Kong, Qatar, Switzerland and Mexico are the best destinations in their respective region for expats who want to boost their standard of living, according to HSBC’s latest Expat Explorer survey.

The ability to save more, enjoy greater disposable income or acquire real estate assets are all important considerations for expats moving to a new country. Offering expats a regional view of the financial benefits on offer, Expat Explorer reveals the best countries to increase one’s standard of living.

“Managing your finances is a key part of living abroad, whether that is sending money back home, saving for the future or, for long-term expats, getting a foot on the housing ladder,” said Dean Blackburn, head of HSBC Expat.

“As an expat, you often need to navigate these financial issues in not one, but two or more countries. That can be difficult but shouldn’t be impossible – no matter where your expat journey takes you, detailed planning and professional advice can help you to prosper abroad.”

The Expat Explorer survey is commissioned by HSBC Expat and conducted by YouGov.

Now in its eighth year, it is the largest and one of the longest running global surveys of expats, with 21,950 respondents sharing their views on different aspects of life abroad, including personal earnings, careers, experience and family.
