Singapore named top expat destination in HCBS report September 23, 2016 - 15:46 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Singapore beat New Zealand to rank first in a survey of expat destinations for the second year running, Bloomberg reports. Among nearly 27,000 expats in 190 economies, Singapore is the best place to live, work and raise a family abroad, according to the latest and ninth edition of HSBC Holdings Plc’s annual Expat Explorer report. While New Zealand came close to Singapore in most areas, what dragged down its ranking was economics -- the category covering earnings and career prospects. New Zealand was rated 41st for personal finances in the survey, far behind Singapore’s eighth place under this metric. No other Asia-Pacific economy made it to the top 10 overall ranking of expat destinations, with Australia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam and Japan rounding up the top 20. The U.S. placed 30th overall.
