British expatriates who get a job in Dubai could stand to earn high salaries, new figures have revealed.

NatWest International Personal Banking revealed that the average person in the UK earns £47,000 a year.

However, a typical salary in the United Arab Emirates can be as high as £79,000, a figure the firm described as "whopping".

Meanwhile, a poll of expatriates in the country found that most people do not believe the overall cost of living is very different from the UK.

This suggests that many are able to take advantage of higher levels of disposable income during their new lives overseas.

David Isley, head of NatWest International Personal Banking, remarked: "The wage packets of expats are very encouraging for people who are looking to move abroad."

He added that most expatriates feel financially better off now that they do not live in the UK.

This comes after research by Alliance & Leicester identified the main reasons for Britons opting to move abroad.

The weather was found to be a key motivation for 40 per cent of expats, while one in five people said they left because they were worried about rising crime in the UK.
