Talk:Economy of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation

Incorrect Data

The numbers are wrong and highly exaggerated. The economic power of the islamic world is way lower according its own OIC statistics which can be found here: http://www.sesric.org/files/article/576.pdf Page 38: Figure Total GDP (left) and GDP per capita (right), based on PPP

According to its own OIC statistics the GDP per capita (PPP) was around 9.000 $ and not 19.000. The nominal GDP is likely to be even much lower. The text is suggesting that the islamic world is above the average but in fact it is way below it.

It even seems that the OIC is presenting PPP numbers in front in order to make it look less miserable. But even this way, the islamic world is behind the non islamic developing world and further falling behind as it is highly depending on oil and it lacks education, know how and everything for the development of regenerative industries ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiuserGolgo (talk • contribs) 21:32, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to hear from locals of OIC countries if they support, Increase in trade, cross countries roads, and may be down the road a single economy.

Deletion

What's the validity of this article? The OIC has no economic relevance - it is not an economic or trade bloc in any sense of the word and the article make! Student7 (talk) 00:42, 11 April 2010 (UTC) no claim that it is. Having an article such as this is non-neutral - pushing a view that trade should be based on cultural blocs - and original research - as a form of artificial synthesis. 155.192.161.48 (talk) 19:12, 6 April 2010 (UTC)C[reply]

This reflects real life. The OIC operates as a collective sometimes, a caliphate-in-waiting. They execute foreign policy in sync. For example, the proposal to "promote Freedom of Religion", a masked attempt to throttle Freedom of Speech, originated here. Under their "Freedom" of Religion, anyone attempting to proselytize (meaning Christians, since they are the only other religion that does) would be subject to horrible punishment, not only within the OIC, which is often true already, but within all members of the United Nations. An invidious proposal which was nearly considered BTW. This is just one initiative.

They also sit back and let other nations pull their irons out of the fire in Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran. They (deliberately and collectively) do nothing unless their own borders are threatened. Student7 (talk) 00:42, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The tables presented did not sort properly. I had to try multiple times and still only the top2 lines got sorted, and the rest were out of order. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.178.83.45 (talk) 15:20, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Population

Any volunteers please includes population column, missing population columns seems lead miscalcuation of some wikipedian when calculating total GDP per capita (Previous statistics calculation seems wrongly calculated the some of GDP per capita by adding all muslim country GDP per capita / number of all muslim country, rather than some up of their GDP divide by sum of their population.

Disorganized Table

All of the metrics on the article's first table are organized in a random way. There doesnt seem to be a clear order to the countries. Is this due to new data having been added after the table's formation? I'm not sure how to fix it. Zoozoor (talk) 01:15, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
