The inaugural World Cooperative Monitor, ranking the 300 largest cooperative and mutual enterprises by turnover and collecting data on all sizes of cooperatives across the globe in categories, was launched in Manchester by the International Cooperative Alliance and The European Research Institute on Cooperative and Social Enterprises (EURICSE).
These top 300 cooperative and mutual enterprises accounted for USD 1,975.6 billion (USD 2.0 trillion) in turnover with most of the enterprises operating in the insurance sector and agricultural sector. The World Co-operative Monitor is an ICA initiative with the scientific collaboration of Euricse and is a continuation of the work begun by the ICA through its Global 300 list.
