Haiti: Depositors with commercial banks (per 1,000 adults)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2020, Haiti's depositors with commercial banks (per 1,000 adults) fell 14.52 on 2019 (from 271.57 to 257.05).

Across the 15 yearly changes before that (2005 to 2019), the average change was +3.9 and a typical year strayed about 32.65 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.6 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 47.91 in 2015 and the biggest yearly fall was 86.87 in 2014. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2011 to 2020 the straight-line trend is downward, about 6.87 a year. A straight line explains 34% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures

Depositors with commercial banks are the reported number of deposit account holders, including both resident non-financial corporations (both public and private) and individuals from the household sector, at commercial banks within the reporting jurisdiction for every 1,000 adults. The major types of deposits are checking accounts, savings accounts, and time deposits.

Limitations: For many countries data cover the total number of deposit accounts due to lack of information on account holders.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a median.
