In this month’s episode of Money Side Up, we cover two big areas every Australian expat should have on their radar.

First, we break down the August interest rate cut from the RBA and the latest moves in the Australian dollar. What they mean for expats, investors, and those planning a return home.

Then, we shift focus to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Senior Financial Planner Jarrad Brown and Senior Adviser Will Cant sit down with special guest John Scott to unpack what it’s really like to relocate to KSA and start a business from scratch.
