A majority of overseas expats plan to continue staying in the Chinese mainland over the next 12 months, HSBC research showed on Tuesday.
The study reached over 7,000 foreign nationals across nine countries and regions.
As more regions resumed normal travel, a third of expatriates responding to the survey said they plan to relocate to another destination or return to their home country in the next 12 months.
While in the Chinese mainland, 75 percent of respondents indicated that they would stay in their current place of residence within the next 12 months. This proportion ranks top across the nine countries and regions covered in the survey (the average is 61 percent), demonstrating that the mainland is still attractive to overseas people.
It expects that demands for cross-border financial services and international asset allocation will be further stimulated. Professional and convenient international banking services will support the diversified demands of international businesses and individuals, further accelerating the international connectivity of businesses and people.
