The best place for expats: Singapore thrashes Hong Kong on global liveability index

The Lion City retained the top spot.

Singapore once again clinched the top spot in ECA International’s global liveability index, widening the gap with neighboring Hong Kong which to the 33rd spot in the global rankings.

ECA International stated that Singapore is the best place to live in for Asian expats, backed by good air quality, solid infrastructure, decent medical facilities, low crime and low health risks.

“The fact that Singapore comes out top time and time again does make it a very attractive proposition for companies looking to set up in the region, particularly when conditions in Hong Kong have deteriorated a little. Nevertheless, it is important to put this into perspective. Overall the SAR does still remain one of the easier places in the world for an outsider to adjust to living and working in,” said said Lee Quane, Regional Director for Asia at ECA International.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
