Liquidity

Current ratio stood at 1.29 times in FY10 (FY09: 1.06 times). This means that the group has SGD - SIN 1.29 of current assets for every SGD - SIN of current liability incurred.

A minimum figure of 1.0 would be considered the lowest limit that this figure should reach. Any business that has a current ratio near 1.0 may be heading for liquidity problems, and would need to be closely monitored. A figure greater than 2.0 would be more desirable, to act as a buffer against any short-term liquidity problems, and give creditors/bank managers a degree of comfort when granting credit/finance.
