What are the debt service ratios (debt service ratio paid/GDP%) for
Australia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Colombia, Dominican Republic, and
Mexico?

Also, what is the real GDP growth rate, nominal GDP, GDP per capita,
annual inflation %, export totals, import totals, trade balance,
current account, total external debt, and FX reserves for Australia?

Giants27 --

It appears that you're just seeking the government debt in the service
ratio -- but I want to make sure that's the case.  Excluded would be
all private & corporate debt.

Best regards,

More important is the question: what is the real GDP growth rate,
nominal GDP, GDP per capita,annual inflation %, export totals, import
totals, trade balance,
current account, total external debt, and FX reserves for Australia
from 2002 to the projected 2006?

The ratio question is just the debt service paid divided by GDP for
the years 2002 to 2006. Thanks

Debt service ratio generally refers to interest payments on foreign
debt as a percentage of exports of goods and services.

Are you perhaps looking for the foreign debt to GDP ratio instead?

The World Bank publishes 'At A Glance' tables online which provide
both debt service ratios and debt/GDP figures:
