The study covered 18 countries and more than 10 national associations of cooperatives, representing about 90% of the cooperative movement in Europe, and made it possible to identify the most effective measures for the development of the cooperative movement in the current conditions. Methodology: A number of scientific methods such as grouping and comparison, analysis and synthesis, tabular methods have been used to achieve the goal. It was noted that, depending on the size of the enterprise, the necessary support measures, including financial ones, differ, this should be considered by the authorities when developing programs to help cooperatives. Results: The results of the research provide an opportunity for their application in further scientific developments on this or a similar topic. Originality: The originality of the study lies in the analysis of data on the necessary measures to support cooperatives, depending on their size and recommendations for using the data obtained to develop programs to help the cooperative economy.
