- Cash and cash equivalents
- The proportion of cash and cash equivalents to total assets exhibited a fluctuating pattern over the period. It increased from 4.78% in 2020 to a peak of 6.88% in 2022, followed by a decline to 4.57% in 2024, indicating a reduction in liquid holdings after 2022.

- There was a notable increase in receivables from 4.21% in 2020 to a peak of 7.54% in 2022, followed by a gradual decline to 5.39% in 2024. This pattern suggests temporary growth in receivables before a reduction in more recent years.

- Current assets

- Equity investments as a percentage of total assets decreased significantly from 12.13% in 2020 to 7.39% in 2021, then stabilized around 7-8%, ending at 7.01% in 2024. This indicates a notable reduction initially with modest recovery and stability thereafter.

- Long-term investments in debt securities
- This category increased from 0.35% in 2020 to a high of 1.03% in 2023 before slightly receding to 0.86% in 2024, suggesting a strategic increase in debt securities held long-term followed by a slight reduction.
