The other nine economies on this watch list are China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, Germany, Ireland and Switzerland.

The report looks into countries with large trade surpluses with respect to the United States, and those who actively intervene in foreign exchange markets to gain a competitive edge.
