The OICStat Database is a user-friendly platform and equipped with the following features:

• Multilinguality:The OICStat Database is available in three official languages of the OIC, namely English, Arabic and French.
• Accordion Menu: The OICStat Database shows all data query steps, namely "Countries", "Categories & Indicators", "Years", and "Format" on the same page under an accordion menu – a vertically stacked list of headers that can be clicked to hide or show the content within – before previewing/exporting the data.
• Major Country Groupings: The "Countries" menu offers users options to easily select member countries of some major country groupings; all of whose members are OIC member countries, namely Arab League, D-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation (D8), Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO), Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC), Organisation of Turkic Council (OTS), and West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), which are followed by economic and income groups, namely OIC Least Developed Countries (OIC-LDCs), OIC Land-Locked Developing Countries (OIC-LLDCs), OIC-Low Income, OIC-Lower Middle Income, OIC-Upper Middle Income, and OIC-High Income. Ticking a country grouping will automatically select the OIC member countries with a membership in the chosen grouping. It is also possible to exclude members of a specific country grouping from a selection of countries by clicking twice on that grouping.
• Quick Access to "OIC Countries in Figures" Module: Clicking the "i" icon next to each OIC country name under the "Countries" menu will direct the users to the related country profile under the "OIC Countries in Figures" module.
• Browse and Search Indicators: The OICStat Database hosts 1852 indicators on various socio-economic, financial, and cross-cutting themes presented under the "Categories & Indicators" menu.

• Multiple Categorisation: Some indicators may appear under multiple categories listed under the "Categories & Indicators" menu due to their relevance.
