Current Assets
Current assets demonstrated a generally increasing trend from 2005 through 2013, rising from US$5,290 million to a peak of US$8,599 million. Beginning in 2014, there was a notable decline, with values falling to US$4,404 million by 2014 and remaining relatively low with minor fluctuations, ending at US$3,931 million in 2022. This pattern suggests an initial phase of asset growth followed by a period of contraction and lower levels of liquidity.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities fluctuated during the period, initially increasing from US$6,447 million in 2005 to a high of US$8,382 million in 2012, then sharply decreasing to US$2,628 million in 2015. From 2016 onward, current liabilities remained at a lower, more stable range, between approximately US$1,623 million and US$3,064 million, indicating significant reduction in short-term obligations after 2012.
Current Ratio
The current ratio showed a gradual improvement over the period. Starting at 0.82 in 2005, indicating that current liabilities exceeded current assets, the ratio increased to over 1.0 by 2009, reaching values above 1.3 in 2013. The ratio peaked at 2.53 in 2017, reflecting a strong liquidity position. Although there was some decline after 2017, the ratio remained above 1.4 through 2022, implying enhanced capacity to cover short-term liabilities with current assets compared to the earlier years.
Overall Analysis
The data reveals an initial growth in both current assets and current liabilities until around 2012, followed by a pronounced reduction in liabilities and moderated asset values. The improvement in the current ratio over time demonstrates an enhanced liquidity position and suggests more prudent management of working capital, contributing to a stronger buffer against short-term financial obligations in recent years.
