The article aims to explore the relationship between crisis periods and the active use of complementary currencies, and to assess their prevalence depending on the region scale. Methods. For the study, I used comparative and quantitative analyses. Results. The article finds that the use of certain complementary currencies promotes the development of small businesses and increases employment, reducing dependence on national currencies. Projects involving the use of complementary currencies are generally implemented in small towns. Relevance. The research findings can be used to develop or adjust comprehensive programmes for territorial development.
