Mercer's annual look at the costs of expatriation. The most expensive cities in Asia and globally are Singapore and Hong Kong. Shanghai and Beijing are the next most expensive cities in Asia. One interesting tidbit is this: :Comparing the data on costs and quality of living highlights the challenge of finding the sweet spot between the two — in other words, a city that combines low costs with a high quality of life.

The Asian Productivity Organization (APO), in coordination with the Singapore Productivity Centre, is now accepting candidates for participants to the Workshop on Innovative Transformation for Lifestyles and Service Sectors, to be implemented on 23–25 April 2024 via Virtual Session. The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant changes in the lifestyle and service sectors, including remote work, social distancing, and altered business hours. These trends will likely persist post-pandemic. It has thus become imperative for the sectors to elevate both managerial and employee skills, reimagine business models, and boost productivity, particularly through the integration and adoption of digital technologies. The introduction of innovative digital transformation strategies presents opportunities for the lifestyle and service sectors. These technologies not only enhance customer engagement and streamline operations but also facilitate the development of novel products and the expansion of market reach. In a fast-paced, fiercely competitive business landscape, embracing digital transformation is not merely a choice but a necessity for sustained growth and success in the dynamic lifestyle and service sectors. The workshop aims to understand innovative transformation and its multifaceted components for productivity improvement; examine the impact of innovative transformation in the lifestyle and service sectors; highlight successful case studies of innovative transformation in the lifestyle and service sectors; and explore innovative strategies to enhance productivity in those sectors. Target participants are government officials in charge of service-sector productivity policy, consultants or trainers from NPOs or firms, and representatives of industrial associations or enterprises providing productivity consultancy and training for the service/lifestyle sector. Interested Filipino applicants may contact the Development Academy of the Philippines, the National Productivity Organization of the Philippines, through its APO/DAP Secretariat at apodapsec-gse1@dap.edu.ph.
