World’s Friendliest Countries from Forbes.com
Saturday, December 13th, 2008The study surveyed 2,155 expats in 48 countries, spanning four continents, between February and April 2008. Respondents rated their country in four categories: ability to befriend locals, number that joined a community group, number that learned the language and percentage that bought property.
“We conducted this survey to better understand expatriate needs and get insight into the emotions of expats. The banking business is all about trust, especially with the recent credit crisis,” says Martin Spurling, CEO of HSBC Bank International and Head of HSBC Global Offshore. “We want them to build a relationship with their wealth manager regardless of where they travel.”
