Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward adjective + noun composition: 'local' (of a particular area) + 'economy' (the production/distribution system) yields the meaning 'the economy of a specific area.' This compositional pattern is common and predictable across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
The term local economy shows a simple picture: local means 'nearby' and economy is how money moves in shops, jobs and businesses in a place. So, local economy means the money, jobs and business health of a particular area.
