Expatriator Index · v1.0.1
Luxury
The availability of high-end goods, services, dining, and experiences.
10 means the richest access to luxury.
Profile-sensitive attribute. Every country is scored; its weight changes for the profiles it affects most.
Global floor
Timor-Leste
Regime Arbitrageur
Timor-Leste is among Asia's least-developed states, with virtually no luxury market — the floor.
Global midpoint
Panama
FIRE Seeker
Panama City offers real but mid-tier luxury — good hotels, dining, and retail without global-capital depth. A midpoint.
Global ceiling
Monaco
Regime Arbitrageur
Monaco is the global epicenter of concentrated luxury — the ceiling.
Each band shows the number of countries in that score range.
Evidence and review record
Paris is the industry's home market (LVMH, Hermès, Kering HQs), with couture flagships on Avenue Montaigne, ~10 palace hotels, and the Riviera/Courchevel circuit.
