Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'economic' (relating to the economy) + 'growth' (an increase) yields 'an increase in economic activity or output.' This adjective+noun construction follows standard semantic composition and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The phrase economic growth creates a simple picture: imagine a garden where trees give more fruit each year—growth means getting bigger and economic refers to a country's goods and money. So, economic growth means 'an increase in the goods and services a country makes and the money it earns'.
