Morphology
The meaning 'a plan to manage or improve economic performance' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'economic' (relating to the economy) with 'strategy' (a plan or approach). This adjective+noun compositional pattern is common in English and across many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Economic strategy paints a simple picture: think of economic as 'money and resources' and strategy as a 'game plan' or map of moves. So an economic strategy is a planned set of actions to manage and improve a country’s or business’s money and growth.
