Cerberus1 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 The HSBC has just published the results from its annual 'expat explorer' survey. The reports ranks the best countries for expats to live in. The survey asks expats twenty-seven questions across three categories - economics, experience, and family. The economics league table uses a score that summarizes expats views about a country and its expats, covering wage levels, career progression, and the local economy. The experience league table quizzed expats on the lifestyle they have in their adopted country, covering local culture, safety, ease of forming friendships, and the ease of setting up a new home. The family league table was based upon expats' attitudes towards family life in their adopted countries, covering expat social life, education costs, and the ease of children making friends. The three subindexes were then collated and used to create an overall ranking based on an average score, given out of one. Last year, Australia was tied in 9th place with 2 other countries. This year, Australia has solidified its place in the top 10, moving up to 7th place. Moving in the opposite direction, the U.K. has tumbled in a ranking of top destinations for expats following the June 2016 vote for Brexit. It now ranks 35th in the annual HSBC survey, a sharp decline from 22nd in 2016 and was the only Group of Seven nation to see its score decline. "Few countries have seen the kind of rapid change in expat perceptions that the U.K. has experienced since 2016, probably as a result of the decision to leave the European Union," said HSBC researchers. HSBC said expats are now much less confident in the country's political stability and economy.
