Most economists now believe that the cyclical trend of the CAD is a natural occurrence for the Australian economy, and as a result there is no longer a stated goal for this ratio. Neither the RBA nor the Australian Bureau of Statistics publish the CAD/GDP ratio, and as a result these figures have been calculated by combining the statistics for the CAD and the rate of economic growth, both of which can be found on the Reserve Bank of Australia's website.
