| | an appropriate risk spread spanning - تغطية مناسبة للمخاطر بجميع انواعها | Explanation:
I understand "spanning" to mean "covering" - تغطية - and the "spread of risks" as the whole range of risks - المخاطر بجميع انواعها
meaning that the country needs to cover as many as possible of its risks in all sectors of the economy - industry, health care, new technologies ...

The purpose of this is that, for instance, if the ship-building industry declines (there is a risk of unemployment), then another type of activity (for instance, ICT - Information and Communications Technology) is able to expand, to provide employment for the workers whose jobs are at risk.

I found this reference for "spanning" in the sense of "covering":
span [spӕn] verb
to stretch across
Example: A bridge spans the river. Arabic: يَمْتَد فَوْقَ، يَجْسُر
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/span
to "stretch across" something means to cover it - to include it all -which is how I understand the term "spanning". |

Actually it was from an electronic glossary (Arabic Economic Glossary) in Babylon Program/Website.
Mentioning a reference is not a must, there must be trials to find an appropriate suggestion for the term in question.

Asker:
thank you so much for your help, but could you tell me your reference?
Asker: Thanks again. The purpose of my question is seeking your guidance as to how I might find such an equivalent in Arabic. I found the same meaning you gave but in Spanish and failed to get it in Arabic. Thanks.
