The 2020 edition of the Statistical Yearbook on OIC Member Countries was released by SESRIC on 1 April 2021.

The Statistical Yearbook on OIC Member Countries 2020 presents a wide range of internationally accessible and comparable statistics on the OIC countries covering 215 indicators under 19 categories available for the period between 2000 and the last year available which are currently being hosted at the OIC Statistics Database (OICStat), the only statistical database on the OIC countries offered in the three official languages of the OIC (Arabic, English and French).

The 2020 edition covers the following categories: Agriculture, Demography, Education, Energy, Environment, Gender and Family, Health, Infrastructure, International Finance, Islamic Banking and Finance, Labour, Money and Prices, National Accounts, Science, Technology and Innovation, Tobacco Control, Tourism, Trade, Water, and Youth.

Released first in 1980, the content of the subsequent editions of the Statistical Yearbook has been continuously revised and enriched. The 2020 edition of Statistical Yearbook also presents insights and information on the ability of National Statistical Offices (NSOs) of the OIC countries to produce essential statistics and sheds light on their concrete support needs posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, the 2020 edition presents an “Overview” section that provides a visualised summary of the 19 categories covered.

The Statistical Yearbook on OIC Member Countries aims at serving as a reference publication for evidence-based decision making concerning possible areas of cooperation and integration at the OIC level and thus contributes to increasing statistical awareness among the decision makers in OIC countries. For this end, the Statistical Yearbook gives the readers the opportunity to see not only the individual performance of OIC countries but also that of the OIC as a group vis-à-vis the world across selected indicators.
