The United Kingdom, recently fifth most powerful economy worldwide, is about to fall two places in the ranking in few months only, following Brexit.
Due to the country’s currency, the Pound Sterling, tumbling after the vote, U.K. will soon be the world’s seventh global economy, behind France which recovered its fifth position, but also behind India, its former colony, whose growth was forecast at 7.6% in 2017, thus taking the sixth position.
The United States, China, Japan and Germany are leading the rankings.
