What is geographic asset diversification & why matters for Arabs?

The Direct Answer: It's distributing your assets across different countries and legal systems so your entire wealth isn't held hostage to one government's decisions. It matters crucially for Arabs because our risks are inherently "sovereign": sudden withdrawal caps, deposit freezes (Lebanon), overnight currency devaluation (Iraq 2020), or transfer restrictions (Algeria). Someone diversified between a local account, a Gulf/foreign asset, and physical gold can't be wiped out by a single decision in one capital.

💡 Implementation Levels by Capability: Local physical gold (available to all) ← UAE bank account (common for expats) ← organized offshore investment. Start at your level—don't postpone the whole idea just because the highest tier is difficult.
