Great Britain is the leader of 2016.

Britain's exit from the European Union became the main topic of 2016, with even more economists interested in how the country's economy would perform.

Most analysts predicted a decline in production and GDP, as the majority of the UK economy is oriented toward the EU.

However, recent data has led to the UK being named the world's strongest economy for 2016.

It's worth noting that growth has accelerated over the past six months, with significant increases in the Business Activity Index and GDP .

Since the decision to leave the European Union, GDP has risen by more than 1.1%, confirming the decision was sound.

As a result, the UK has overtaken most developed countries and become the leader in 2016.

This information will likely contribute to a rise in the GBP/USD , but this will only occur on Monday, January 9.
