The Trade Preferential System aims to promote trade among the Member States of the OIC by means of exchanging preferences. It includes a Most-Favored Nation clause, providing that all states participating in the TPS-OIC receive equal trade advantages as the "most favoured nation" by the country granting such treatment.

The official website indicates a goal of 20% intra-OIC trade by the year 2015. However, some economists consider this goal to be unrealistic.{{cite web|title=Facilitating trade among muslim nations|date=23 April 2012 |url=http://www.dawn.com/news/712734/facilitating-trade-among-muslim-nations|publisher=DAWN MEDIA GROUP|accessdate= November 25, 2014}}
