The OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) is a big group of countries that work together on various things like economy, politics, and social issues. They try to help each other out and make things better for everyone in the group.
The economy of the OIC refers to how all these countries make and use money together. Just like how you might get money from your parents or do chores to earn some money, these countries also have ways of making money.
Some of the ways they make money include:
- Selling things to other countries: Just like how you might sell lemonade to your neighbors, these countries sell things they make to other countries. They might sell oil, textiles, or other products that they produce.
- Tourism: Some OIC countries are popular vacation spots, so people from other countries visit and spend money on hotels, food, and activities.
- Banking and finance: The OIC has some big banks that help people and businesses with loans and other financial needs.
- Natural resources: Some OIC countries are lucky to have lots of natural resources like oil, gold, or diamonds. They can sell these resources to other countries for money.
Once these countries have money, they can use it to improve things for their people. They might build schools or hospitals, improve roads or transportation, or invest in new businesses to create jobs for people.
The OIC tries to make sure that all its member countries have a strong economy and work together towards mutual growth and prosperity.
