Abstract: Abstract As the primary role of the capital market is to allocate the economy’s resources, the fundamental need for an efficient market arises from the importance of efficient resource allocations, which in turn will help the economy. In light of the efficient market hypothesis (EMH), several studies have been undertaken over the past two decade, but very few have been on the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). This chapter focuses on analysing the weak-form efficiency of OIC member stock markets to determine their efficiency rankings during different business cycles. The results are indicative of improving efficiency over the past decade.
