The graph below shows the number of shops that closed and the number of new shops that opened in one country between 2011 and 2018.
The graph illustrates the figures for opened and closed shops in the same area during the eight-year period, from 2011 to 2018.
Overall
, it is obvious that shop opening and closure lines had the same fluctuation except for three insignificant periods when growth and decline didn't coincide. It is
also
clear that both lines had a declining trend during the given period with the end figures less than the beginning ones. The number of opened shops dropped drastically approximately 3 times during the eight years with figures from 8500 in the beginning to 3000 in 2018. Shop openings decreased as well with an approximate number of 6400 in 2011 to roughly 5200 in 2018. Despite that,
it is clear that
a decrease was not so crucial as closing. Both two graphs showed a sort of correlation during the given period. The intervals of climbing and declining for both lines matched each other 4 times out of 7.
