ANALYSIS OF LIQUIDITY AND PROFITABILITY OF OIL REFINERIES IN MODERN CONDITIONS

Abstract

In a market economy, liquidity and solvency are the most important
characteristics of financial and economic activities of enterprises, in particular in oil refining. The
financial condition determines the competitiveness of an enterprise, its potential in business
processes, to what extent the economic interests of the enterprise and its counterparties in
financial and other relations are respected. Liquidity is the ability of an asset to be sold in a
business, economy, or invested without significant price changes and with little loss of value. The
most liquid asset is money or cash on hand, which can be immediately used to carry out economic
transactions, including buying, selling, paying off debts, and meeting urgent desires and needs.
The basis of any company is liquidity. A comprehensive liquidity assessment is necessary for each
company, as it helps to predict future behavior. The article examines the theoretical aspects of
liquidity and solvency, analyzes the refinery, while assessing the main shortcomings and problems,
and provides recommendations for improving the financial condition
