Straits Times: SINGAPORE is the fourth most attractive posting globally for expatriates, according to a new survey from HSBC.

The bank's report, which assesses the expatriate experience provided by 26 key locations, puts the Lion City behind Canada, Australia and Thailand but ahead of Bahrain, South Africa, France and the US.

Some 3,146 expatriates from 50 economies were polled for the survey, which ranks Singapore highly for logistics such as the setting up of utilities and transport, but lowly in terms of softer issues such as making local friends and hobbies.

Mr Sebastian Arcuri, HSBC Singapore's head of personal financial services, said it was not surprising expatriates ranked Singapore highly.

'Our expat clients have shared with us many anecdotes praising the efficiency of Singapore's infrastructure and the high standard of living here,' he said.

Singapore got the thumbs up for quality of transport, education, childcare and health care.

Anyone with any info as to whether how many % of those expats that were surveyed for Singapore comes from places like India, PRC and the Philippines?

I bet if the survey were to include the question
"Which country ranks highest for giving jobs to expat's instead of to its own citizens" , the little red dot will surely rank first.
