Expatriates Leaving Singapore Amid Surging Rental Costs

Australian expat Ben Dunn, residing in Singapore for 16 years, is among a growing number of expatriates considering leaving the city-state due to escalating rental prices. Average rental prices in Singapore surged by 30% in 2022, the fastest pace in 15 years. Factors contributing to this surge include housing supply shortages caused by pandemic-related construction delays and increased demand from companies and talent relocating to Singapore.

Concerns have arisen within the international and local business communities, with a survey by the European Chamber of Commerce in Singapore revealing that seven in 10 foreign and local businesses are prepared to relocate staff if costs don’t decrease. Additionally, 50% of expatriates renewing their residential leases recently experienced rent hikes exceeding 40%.

Expatriates are adopting various strategies to cope with rising costs, including downgrading to smaller apartments or public housing in suburban areas. Some are also exploring job opportunities in cities with a lower cost of living. Companies are implementing creative solutions, such as relocating staff to cheaper cities while maintaining a remote work arrangement.

Despite these challenges, Singapore remains an attractive destination for businesses due to its access to global talent, robust infrastructure, stable political climate, and pro-enterprise environment. The government is closely monitoring the property market, emphasizing that factors beyond rental prices, such as Singapore’s global business hub status, education, healthcare, and quality of life, influence relocation decisions for expatriates.

While expatriates like Ben Dunn express a heavy heart about leaving, the situation highlights the delicate balance Singapore faces in maintaining its appeal amid economic challenges.
