About
As a seasoned Economic Expert with over 20 years of experience in international trade policy, WTO negotiations, and multilateral economic cooperation, I specialize in aligning national interests with global trade frameworks. My career has spanned strategic roles within the Ministry of Commerce and Industry in Qatar, the Ministry of Foreign Trade in Egypt, and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). I have led high-stakes negotiations, authored national policy positions for WTO submissions, and conducted comprehensive economic analyses that informed the signing of multiple Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) and safeguarded domestic industries from unfair trade practices. Areas of specialization include: - WTO compliance and trade remedies (anti-dumping, safeguards) - Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiation strategy - Bilateral and multilateral policy coordination - Economic impact assessments and trade transformation analysis - International cooperation with institutions such as UNCTAD, ESCWA, and JICA With a proven ability to advise ministers, negotiate with global partners, and drive policy reforms, I am passionate about contributing to sustainable trade development and strengthening national economic competitiveness.
