10. INDIA - The elephant that does not budge

World's 10 Biggest Debt Countries
India's external debt is around 15% of GDP. It's gross external debt is $237.1 billion as on December 31, 2010.

The country's external debt per capita is $195.

It's national debt is 55.9% of GDP.

In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms.

As a result of the financial crisis of 2007–2010, coupled with a poor monsoon, India's gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate significantly slowed to 6.7% in 2008–09, but subsequently recovered to 7.4% in 2009–10, while the fiscal deficit rose from 5.9% to a high 6.5% during the same period.

Currently, the country is facing high inflation due to many internal and external factors.
