Figure 19 illustrates the evolution of OIC exports by product groups according to SITC Rev 3
versus oil price developments. The share of fuels moved in line with oil prices. Although the
share of manufacturing in total OIC exports is 38 per cent in 2015, manufactured products
constitute a considerable part of exports in some OIC countries such as Bangladesh, Turkey,
Tunisia, Pakistan, Morocco and Malaysia where the share of manufactured goods exports in total
exports ranges between 66 to 94 per cent.(see Table 4).
