Financial Outlook of the OIC Member Countries 2017

To measure and benchmark financial systems, the outlook utilizes several measures of

following four characteristics of financial institutions and markets:

(a) Financial Depth: Measures the size of financial institutions and markets,

(b) Financial Access: Measures the degree to which individuals can and do use financial

institutions and markets,

providing financial services,

(d) Financial Stability: Measures the stability of financial institutions and markets in order to

measure and benchmark financial systems in the OIC region

Although the above referred study of the World Bank has developed number of measures to

compare the characteristics of the financial markets, the following indicators are selected to

analyze the four measures of the financial markets in the OIC countries as depicted in Table-2.
