The analysis of the annual financial data reveals several notable trends concerning liquidity and working capital management over the indicated periods.

Current Assets
Current assets displayed fluctuations over the years. Beginning at 2,022 million US dollars in 2005, current assets rose significantly, peaking at 10,047 million in 2011. Following this peak, the values oscillated but generally remained above 7,900 million, reaching a high point of 15,613 million in 2022 before experiencing a slight decline in subsequent years, ending at 13,296 million in 2024. The trend indicates periods of growth interrupted by occasional decreases, but overall current assets have increased substantially compared to the initial year.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities also showed variability. Starting at 1,369 million in 2005, liabilities decreased notably to 972 million in 2006, followed by a sharp increase to 3,869 million in 2007. Afterwards, current liabilities remained relatively stable with moderate fluctuations, generally ranging between approximately 3,000 to 6,300 million. A peak was observed in 2022 at 6,345 million with a slight reduction afterward to 5,496 million in 2024. This pattern suggests periods of elevated short-term obligations alongside efforts to moderate liabilities in recent years.
Current Ratio
The current ratio exhibited a generally strong liquidity position with some variability. Starting at 1.48 in 2005, it increased to reach a maximum of 3.42 in 2011, indicating enhanced short-term financial health during that period. After this peak, the ratio declined but maintained levels above 2.0 for most of the later years, with a slight downward trend concluding at 2.42 in 2024. The ratio consistently suggests the company maintained more than adequate current assets relative to current liabilities throughout the analyzed timeframe.

Overall, the data indicates that the company sustained a solid liquidity position, supported by growth in current assets outpacing current liabilities over the long term. While short-term liabilities experienced some volatility, the company's current ratios remained comfortably above 2 for the majority of the periods, signifying effective management of working capital and a strong capacity to meet short-term obligations.
