Issue 90, July 2013
In this issue, we report on how currency fluctuations and economic and political upheaval are affecting the living costs of expatriates and their employers in key destinations around the world, and the implications that changes in US monetary policy and slower growth in China may have for the global economy.
Closer to home, we consider a UK Trade and Investment report which found that the UK remains first choice for foreign investment in Europe, ask whether tax inducements for shale gas exploitation will revive relocation in Britain's regions, and bring you news of what has been described as 'the biggest change in London's West End since the 1920s'. Plus we reveal the variety of ways in which you and your organisation can join Re:locate in supporting a project to help disadvantaged young women in India through our Gift of Time charity initiative.
Work on the Autumn 2013 issue of Re:locate magazine (out mid September) is well underway. Topics include serviced accommodation, culture, emerging markets, currency issues, education, eldercare, and the launch of the Re:locate Awards 2013/14.
