The analysis of the annual financial data reveals several key trends and observations in the company's liquidity management over the examined period.

Current Assets
The current assets displayed consistent growth from 2005 through 2013, rising from US$8,554 million to a peak of US$26,225 million. After this peak, a decreasing trend is observed until 2018, dropping to US$15,731 million. Subsequently, the values fluctuated moderately with a general upward movement from 2019, ending at US$18,570 million in 2024.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities experienced an overall increase from US$5,515 million in 2005 to around US$15,282 million in 2016, reflecting growth in short-term obligations. After 2016, liabilities showed a downward trend toward US$10,359 million in 2021, followed by an increase again, reaching US$13,811 million by 2024.
Current Ratio
The current ratio started at a comfortable 1.55 in 2005, showing some volatility but generally maintained above 1.4 until 2012, indicating adequate short-term liquidity. Between 2013 and 2016, a notable decline occurred, decreasing to 1.21 by 2016 and further to around 1.17 in 2018, suggesting tightening liquidity conditions during this period. From 2019 onwards, the current ratio stabilized and showed gradual improvement, reaching 1.45 in 2024, reflecting a strengthening liquidity position.

In summary, the company displayed robust growth in current assets and liabilities through the early years, followed by contraction and stabilization phases. The current ratio trend suggests the company managed to maintain sufficient liquidity throughout the period, despite some periods of tightening, especially in the mid-2010s. The moderate recovery in the current ratio towards the latter years further indicates improved short-term financial health.
