the graph below shows the number of shops that closed and the number oof new shops that opened in one country between 2011 and 2018.

The line chart illustrates the

number

of

shops

that closed and the digit of recently established

shops

in a country for 8 years, starting from 2011 to 2018.

Overall

, both the diagram shows the fluctuating nature with few numbers of shop opening

at the end

. The sharp decline was observed in 2015 for closures and in 2011 for the new one. Many new

shops

nearly 8500 were opened in 2011 but with a rapid

decrease

in one year, the

number

dropped to 4000, creating a huge difference of roughly 4500

shops

. A similar rise and fall was presented up to 2015, reaching more or less the same

number

as in was in 2012. The graph was close to steady up to 2017

then

a slight

decrease

was shown and in 2018 there were approximately only 3000

shops

. The

number

of

shops

closed in 2011 was about 6500 and a slight

decrease

and increase patterns were observed up to 2014.

However

, a sharp

decrease

was faced between 2014 to 2015, dropping the numbers from 6500 to just 500. Fortunately, it was able to recover up to some extent in 2016 and maintained a steady diagram with around 5,000

shops

.
