Portugal also remains one of the preferred destinations for Brazilians, strengthening its position as a global reference for those seeking quality of life, excellent connectivity, and new opportunities.”
“Dubai, New York, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Abu Dhabi lead the Savills HNWI Hotspot Index (attached).
