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

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2018, Tunisia's depositors with commercial banks (per 1,000 adults) rose 37.84 on 2017 (from 1,025 to 1,063).

Across the 12 yearly changes before that (2006 to 2017), the average change was +34.15 and a typical year strayed about 22.15 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 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 83.1 in 2015 and the biggest yearly fall was 4.52 in 2006. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2009 to 2018 the straight-line trend is upward, about 45.01 a year. A straight line explains 99% 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.
