Moody's - Australian government's general debt burden will rise to 42% of gdp in fiscal 2018 (12 months ending 30 june 2018) from 36.1% in fiscal 2015

  • Australia's dependence on external financing exposes it to shift in foreign investors' assessment of attractiveness of australian assets

  • Debt burden will remain moderate relative to other aaa-rated sovereigns, and its debt affordability is very strong

  • Australia's high, rising household debt exposes it to potential downturn in housing market that could significantly weigh on gdp growth
