List of Important Countries with its Capitals and currencies is one of the important topics of General awareness that comes under the Static G.K section. Questions of around 2 to 3 marks are asked in the exam for SBI Clerk, SBI PO, IBPS Clerk, RBI Assistant and IBPS RRB Officer from this topic. In this era of competition, even 1 mark makes a huge difference. Usually, the capitals and currencies of those countries are asked in the exam that are in the news. Therefore, you just need to have a close watch on the current affairs section for this. It is ideal for learning all of them. However, you cannot learn all; at least try to memorize those which are essential and are in the news. This article is a continuity of the Static G.K series. In today’s article, I have come up with the List of Important Countries, their Capitals and Currencies.
