Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total debt service ratio and the import ratio can have high systematic risk elements in a country risk analysis (CRA). For example, if a country is heavily dependent on imports and there is a global economic downturn, their import ratio and overall economic health could be affected. Similarly, if a country has high levels of debt and there is a change in interest rates, their total debt service ratio could be negatively impacted. Therefore, these ratios should not be solely relied upon in CRA and other factors should also be considered.
