 Since its inception in 1978, the Ankara Centre has been deploying strenuous efforts to form a collection of comprehensive and up-to-date statistics on the Member Countries of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC). The content of this database is regularly updated and enriched essentially on the basis of information collected from the national statistical sources. However, in some instances, it still has to recourse to the international sources for missing data. In such cases, special care is exercised in choosing the most reliable and updated sources. Recently, the Centre is working on a new system through which Member Countries will be able to provide their statistical data and information online.
Basic Facts and Figures on OIC Member Countries brings together data on a basic set of socio-economic indicators for all the fifty-seven Member Countries. Since data on some of the indicators are not available for some of the countries, the number of indicators included in the tables are adjusted according to data availability for individual countries. Therefore, for some countries, the tables include only a subset of indicators.
We hope that users will find this handy booklet useful and look forward to receiving their feedback to help us improve its quality as well as that of all our other statistical publications.
