Expats are moving into Dubai for better lifestyle, higher salaries – HSBC survey

A chance to secure a better lifestyle and higher salaries are among the top reasons why expatriates move to the UAE, according to a new HSBC survey.

Around four in ten (36%) of the respondents who took part in the survey said they decided to relocate to the emirates in pursuit of a better way of life and bigger monthly incomes. The proportion is higher than any other global market surveyed.

The UAE was also rated highest in terms of stability for family and sustainable environment.

The findings of the HSBC study were based on more than 7,000 interviews conducted among adults living in the UAE, UK, US, Hong Kong, Australia, mainland China, India, Singapore and the Channel Islands & Isle of Man.
