LONDON - 2016, a year to remember. Financial Times 2016 round up. It has been a momentous 2016, a year that may prove pivotal in the course of history.
The UK voted to leave the EU, a complex divorce that may take years to negotiate. Donald Trump was elected president of the United States in an unexpected victory. Europe's migrant crisis grew, Pokemon Go became a sensation and Deutsche Bank was fined $14bn. All while, oil prices plunged and surged.
Our readers had much to contribute in 2016 - almost 1m
comments were posted on FT.com. Readers shared stories of career changes, frustrations with their student loans, the pains of raising wealthy children and their thoughts on Trump's victory. Millennials disagreed over whether it was more realistic to save for a holiday or a pension. In the wake of Brexit, one particular comment caught the world's attention, so we invited its author to write an op-ed. Readers were also keen to join in on our reporting: almost 800 submitted ideas for a post-Brexit Britain and more than 700 EU citizens living in the UK laid out their plans for the future.
Meanwhile, novelist Kazuo Ishiguro took to our pages to call for a second Brexit referendum and a great many pints of beer were downed during our lunch with Nigel Farage.
Here's to 2017.
