Alarm over declining number of expatriates ‘baseless’

An online video posted by a newspaper claiming exodus of expatriates has stirred up a debate about the future of those who consider the Kingdom as a home away from home.

While the video paints a gloomy picture, the statistics offers a totally different narrative. The report says that Asian expatriates continue to pack their baggage and send families home owing to declining economic conditions, increasing power and water bills and introduction of Value-Added Tax (VAT). But it fails to substantiate citing adequate statistics and data.
