Hamdi Imam, head of the Employment Division of the Cairo Chamber of Commerce, expected that the mechanism for obtaining oil from Iraq in exchange for the Egyptian companies' implementation of reconstruction projects there would contribute to providing job opportunities for Egyptian workers

Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said, during his visit to Iraq earlier this week, that it was agreed with the Prime Minister of Iraq on the importance of .establishing a mechanism to obtain oil in return for Egyptian companies undertaking reconstruction Imam added to Masrawy that hundreds of thousands of Egyptian workers are expected to travel to Iraq, indicating that this number is considered good due to the absence of Egyptian workers in Iraq since the Gulf War.

The Iraqi market is considered an opportunity for Egyptian workers during the coming period, especially in light of the Corona pandemic, which has lost many of their jobs, according to Imam. The Gulf War caused the return of millions of Egyptian workers from Iraq, and no Egyptian worker traveled again after the war, as workers headed to the Gulf to work there, according to Imam

The number of Egyptian workers in Iraq before the Gulf War was estimated between 3 and 4 million Egyptian workers, according to the head of the Employment Division.

The Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce had agreed with its Iraqi counterpart to establish an operations room that would link the members of the two federations to create alliances for joint industrialization and implementation of reconstruction projects, and to develop intra-trade and bypass it to the markets of neighboring countries and the countries of free trade agreements
