Morphology
The meaning 'likely future state of the economy' is directly derivable from combining 'economic' (relating to the economy) with 'outlook' (an expectation or forecast). This is a straightforward, compositional noun phrase common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words should understand the MWE.
Etymology
Economic outlook may come from the simple image of looking out from a window or a hill to see what is coming; here outlook is the view ahead and economic shows the view is about money, jobs and business. So it means 'the likely future state of the economy'.
