This is a nice idea for a quiz. I managed to get 18/19 without even being sure what exactly "foreign-exchange reserves" mean. Maybe you can give a short definition in the quiz deskription? Also: Hong Kong is still counted as an answer despite of it being shown. One still needs to type it, otherwise you can't get 100%.

Thanks for the feedback! Apologies for the technical snags, still figuring out the system to make quizzes. Thought I should include a definition too but wasn't sure (not an expert on economics/monetary policy) how to keep it short while still accurate. Hopefully the definition I have included now is satisfactory. The corrections should be live soon.
