Business/Commerce (general) / نقابة التجاريين في مصر
Arabic term or phrase: عضو غير عامل في نقابة التجاريين
نقابة خرييجي كلية التجارة بإختلاف افرعها
هل هناك شيء مقابل لذلك في الدول الغربية

Business Professionals Association
Explanation:
I won't go into the first part because Noha's is correct. And no, we do not have anything equivalent in the West because we tend to specialize more, AND because professionals such as bankers, financial services providers, accountants, etc. do not unionize - they associate. So in Australia, it will be an Association. Unions are for tradies and workers.

Faculty of Commerce graduates - business management, accounting, finance and similar. Not economics, as it had its own faculty. That's why I opted for "business professionals"

  -> Thank you, Sam. التجاريين are commercial agents, aren't they? The closest I found was Merchants' association, there was no 'commercial agents' association'

Notes to answerer
Asker: thank you for your generous contribution. I am just wondering could it be an association of the graduates of the faculty of economics. I am not Egyptian, so I really dont know if that is what is meant by التجاريين can you be kind enough to give some feed back on this. By the way I am from Adelaide

Asker: sorry, yes the faculty of commerce
