Qatar in top ten places to live and work globally: HSBC Expat Explorer
The Peninsula
Doha: Qatar has ranked 10th out of 48 markets globally as a leading destination for expatriates to live and work abroad, according to the 14th annual Expat Explorer study by HSBC.
According to the global study, which surveyed over 20,000 people who live and work abroad, about 80 percent of the respondents in Qatar feel that their overall quality of life has improved since moving to the country. More than two thirds (70 percent) of expats here also feel optimistic about the year ahead despite the volatility of the past 18 months.
The sense of optimism among expatriates in the Qatar comes from improved financial well-being (85 percent), confidence in the economic future of the country (59 percent) and confidence in political stability (76 percent). This is also boosted by limited concern about changes in law, policy and regulations that could impact financial well-being.
