The analysis of the financial data over the examined period reveals several trends in liquidity and working capital management.

Current Assets
Current assets exhibit a general declining trend from 27,869 million USD at the end of 2005 to a low of 3,468 million USD in 2016. Following 2016, there is a slight recovery, with values increasing to 5,725 million USD by 2023. This indicates a contraction in short-term asset holdings over much of the period, with a modest recovery in the later years.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities follow a somewhat similar pattern, initially decreasing from 12,488 million USD in 2005 to a low of 2,193 million USD in 2014. After this, current liabilities generally rise, reaching 5,736 million USD by 2023. This suggests the company reduced its short-term obligations significantly in the earlier years but then increased these liabilities in recent years.
Current Ratio
The current ratio starts at a healthy 2.23 in 2005, indicating good short-term liquidity. It declines gradually, reaching a low point of 1.0 by 2023. Notably, between 2010 and 2014, the current ratio saw a peak at 3.06 in 2014, reflecting a period of very strong liquidity. However, from 2014 onwards, the ratio steadily declines, suggesting a reduction in liquidity buffer and a tightening of the current asset to current liability relationship.

Overall, the data indicate an initial phase of relatively high liquidity with robust current assets and liabilities. There is a marked contraction in both current assets and current liabilities during the mid-period, with current liabilities dropping more sharply. The peak current ratio in 2014 corresponds to this phase, implying cautious short-term financial management or increased liquidity reserves. In the later years, both current assets and liabilities increase, but current liabilities grow at a faster rate than assets, resulting in a declining current ratio. By 2023, the current ratio reaches 1.0, signifying that current assets just cover current liabilities, which may imply reduced liquidity cushion and perhaps increased risk regarding short-term obligations.
