Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, Lithuania's commercial bank branches (per 100,000 adults) fell 0.57 on 2023 (from 10.19 to 9.62).

This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations above 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 2.44 in 2006 and the biggest yearly fall was 10.07 in 2011. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is downward, about 0.5 a year. A straight line explains 77% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures

Commercial bank branches are retail locations of resident commercial banks and other resident banks that function as commercial banks that provide financial services to customers and are physically separated from the main office but not organized as legally separated subsidiaries.

Limitations: Population-based ratios of the number of branches and ATMs assume a uniform distribution of bank outlets within a country's area and across its population, while in most countries bank branches and ATMs are concentrated in urban centers of the country and are accessible only to some individuals.

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