10. Bahrain
Score: -43 points;
HSBC ranking: 10 (20 points);
Word Bank Doing Business ranking: 63 (-63 points);
With high average salaries and no personal taxes, Bahrain, next on the list of best countries to make money fast, is one of the most desirable locations for many expats. Still, Bahrain salaries haven’t followed the global salary trends, and today the city of Manama is much less popular among expats than Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha and other business centers from the region. Same as in most other Middle Eastern countries, the biggest and the most lucrative employers come from the petroleum, tourism and banking industry.
