About this Episode

In this edition of Expat Money Matters, Chase Buchanan reviews the week’s developments and what they could mean for expatriates managing their finances across borders.

We examine US inflation ahead of the Federal Reserve’s October meeting, Malta’s transition to its new Individual Tax Programme, Cyprus’s pension reform proposals and Belgium’s proposed protections for disputed payments. We also review UK growth ahead of the Budget and highlight upcoming dates, including Canada’s qualified NR5 application deadline.

Based on the Weekly Market Update dated 19 October 2026, with time-sensitive information checked on 20 October 2026.
