In contrast to September, when the FOMC shocked markets by failing to raise the policy rate, there were no major surprises embedded in the press statement. The Fed viewed current growth as being moderate due to a solid domestic economy being offset by some

The current ratio is determined by dividing current assets by current liabilities. A high ratio shows a strong liquidity position. The current ratio of 2014 was 1.03 million and the current ratio of 2015 was 0.88 million. In 2014, Nestle had a strong liquidity position, which means that it met its short term obligations. The current ratio
