“Better earning potential is the cornerstone of why people seek career opportunities here.
“It is indicative of the success of UAE’s focus on diversification, which has resulted in the creation of an internationally recognised and sought-after working environment.”
Nearly three quarters of expats in the country (73%) said that they earn more than in their home country.
Hadi added: “Given these advantages, expats moving to and living in the UAE should look to make the best of their lives abroad.
