Islamic export innovation
Tunisia’s Minister of Trade and Export Development, Samir Abid, called for the creation of tools to finance trade and exports among member states of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. These tools would combine financing, guarantees, insurance and streamlined procedures to support exporting businesses—particularly small and medium-sized enterprises—and boost trade and growth. He made the call at the 42nd session of the COMCEC Committee in Istanbul on 2 and 3 November 2026, attended by 25 ministers, amid challenges including protectionism, disrupted supply chains, and rising production and transport costs. Abid outlined Tunisia’s experience in trade finance, digitalising procedures and sharing risks, and called for broader cooperation and practical programmes to build value chains and develop trade infrastructure.
