Page "Intergovernmental organization" Paragraph 8

* Economic organizations-based on economic organization.

Some are dedicated to free trade, the reduction of trade barriers ( the World Trade Organization ) and International Monetary Fund.

Others are focused on international development.

International cartels, such as the Organization of Petroleum-Exporting Countries ( OPEC ), also exist.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development was founded as an economics-focused organization.

An example of a recently formed economic IGO is the Bank of the South.
