Understanding Inflation

Inflation is a silent threat that erodes the purchasing power of your money over time. It represents the gradual rise in the cost of goods and services, leading to a reduction in the real value of your income and savings.

Every dirham you hold today will buy less tomorrow unless your investments outpace inflation. Think of inflation as negative compounding working against you 24/7.

How to Beat Inflation

To ensure your savings grow faster than inflation, invest in options that provide a Real Return—growth that exceeds the inflation rate.
For example, if inflation is 4% and your investment grows by 6%, your real return is 2%.

Investment Options for Real Returns

  1. Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) in International Funds.
  2. Lump-Sum Investments in Mutual Funds or Capital-Guaranteed Investments.
