General Federation of Yemeni Chambers of Commerce and Industry FYCCI

The umbrella of the Chambers of Commerce and Industry and the private sector in Yemen

The idea of ​​establishing a general federation of Yemeni Chambers of Commerce and Industry began in 1963, in view of the commercial and economic developments that Yemen has witnessed since the early sixties, and as a result of the openness of the Yemeni economy to the world, and then the Chambers of Commerce and Industry Law No. 14 of 1963 was issued.

In the eighties, Law No. 27 of 1982 was issued to establish the Federation of Yemeni Chambers of Commerce and Industry, according to which the Chambers of Commerce and Industry Law No. 14 of 1963 AD, which was issued to organize the work of the Chambers of Commerce and Industry, was amended.

This was followed by a number of amendments to the law of the Yemeni Chambers of Commerce and Industry and its General Federation to keep pace with local, regional and international changes related to the role of the private sector in the process of economic development in light of globalization, through Law No. 18 of 1999. Which was amended in 2003 by Law No. 28 of 2003.

The Chamber of Aden is considered one of the oldest Yemeni chambers of commerce and industry, which was established in 1887, due to the role that Aden played as a global port. In 1953, the Mukalla Chamber of Commerce and Industry was established, while the Chambers of Commerce of Taiz and Al Hudaydah Industry were established in 1961. Then came the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Capital Municipality in 1962, and these chambers were and still represent Yemen in various regional and international forums.
