Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward adjective + noun composition: 'economic' (relating to the economy) modifies 'condition' (the state of something), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to the state of the economy. This is a regular, cross‑linguistically common compositional pattern in English, making the meaning immediately accessible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Economic condition comes from the idea of treating an economy like a person's health: economic means money and jobs and condition means how well something is. People check growth, jobs and prices as signs of the economy's health, so the phrase means the current 'state' of the economy.
