Great Britain is the leader of 2016.

The UK's exit from the European Union became the main topic of 2016, with even more economists interested in how the country's economy would behave.
Most analysts predicted a decline in production and GDP, as much of the UK economy is focused on the EU.

But the latest data made it possible to call the UK the strongest economy in the world in 2016.

Moreover, it should be noted that over the past six months there has been an acceleration in growth, with such indicators as the Business Activity Index and GDP. Since the decision to leave the European Union, the level of GDP has risen by more than 1.1%, which confirms the correctness of the decision.

As a result, the UK managed to overtake most developed countries and become the leader in 2016.

Such information is highly likely to contribute to an increase in the price of the pair GBP/USD, but this will happen only on Monday, January 9.
