This figure is significantly lower than the global average, reflecting the country's challenges in financial infrastructure compared to higher-ranked nations. The limited number of bank branches can be attributed to Haiti's ongoing economic instability, lack of investment in banking services, and a high percentage of the population living in rural areas, which complicates access to financial institutions.

Ethiopia

The limited number of bank branches can be attributed to Ethiopia's developing economy, where access to financial services remains constrained due to geographical barriers and a historically centralized banking system. Additionally, a large rural population often lacks proximity to banking facilities, further impacting the availability of commercial banking services.

Tonga

This figure is relatively high compared to many Pacific Island nations, reflecting a more developed banking infrastructure.
