Turkey’s exports to OIC states reach $41.5 billion in seven months of 2026

ISTANBUL: Turkey’s Ministry of Trade said that the country’s exports to the 57 member states of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) reached $41.5 billion in the January–July 2026 period, marking an increase of $345.7 million on a year-on-year basis.

Total foreign trade volume between Turkey and OIC countries rose 2.2 % over the same period compared to the year prior, reaching $69.2 billion, underlining the deepening commercial integration between Ankara and the Islamic world.

The Ministry attributed the results to the sustained implementation of its Strategy for Developing Exports with OIC Members, a framework embedded in the 2026–2028 Medium Term Programme.

Under the strategy, the share of OIC countries in Turkey’s total exports, currently standing at 27 %, is targeted to reach 30% by 2028.
