The British economy will be one of the main focuses of the week as the markets continue to wonder about the fate of the marriage between the UK and the EU.

The reports of this week will show if the UK can finish 2017 economically stronger.

What’s Going on in the Brexit Front?

Theresa May and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker are still negotiating to establish the extent of separation.

While neither UK or EU citizens will be affected in their daily lives, the UK is likely to leave the trade and customs agreements.

Analysts expect it to take roughly 3 years to sign a deal and complete the transition.
