BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Money and top jobs will be the main topics of an informal summit of 27 European Union leaders on Friday, as the bloc tries to deal with the consequences of Britain's exit from the EU in 2019.

EU leaders except Britain are to say whether they agree to increase the EU's next seven-year budget to pay for common policies on security, defence and migration, even though Britain's departure will leave fewer net contributors.
