The image displays a line graph titled "Number of shop closures and openings 2011-2018," tracking annual shop closures and openings. Data points for each year are as follows: 2011: closures approximately 5,800, openings around 2,900; 2012: closures around 6,600, openings about 3,100; 2013: closures approximately 7,200, openings around 3,400; 2014: closures roughly 6,800, openings about 3,900; 2015: closures around 8,200, openings approximately 4,200; 2016: closures near 7,000, openings about 3,500; 2017: closures roughly 7,600, openings around 2,500; 2018: closures approximately 5,600, openings about 2,300. The graph uses a continuous line for closures and a dashed line for openings, both plotted against a vertical axis ranging from 0 to 9,000 and a horizontal axis timestamped from 2011 to 2018.

The graph illustrates the number of shops that closed and the number of new shops that opened in one country from 2011 to 2018.
Overall, what stands out from the graph is that the number of new shops opened starts at its peak but changes constantly, decreasing every year. Meanwhile, the number of closures began at a lower level, was inconsistent, and experienced sudden rises and falls.
Looking at the details, in 2011 the number of new shops opened was about 9,000. However, this figure sharply plunged in 2012. After that, the number gradually increased until 2014, when growth stopped. From 2015 to 2017, the number stabilized, and in 2018 it dipped slightly, ending at 3,000 shops.
In comparison, the number of closed shops reached its peak within a three‑year period. It started at around 6,000-7,000 and peaked in 2013 at exactly 7,000. Afterward, the number of closures declined considerably, nosediving to the lowest level of 0-1,000 in 2015.
