* BARCLAYS: Britain's Serious Fraud Office said on Thursday Barclays BARC.L and its former senior bankers will not know until around mid-June whether they face criminal charges over a 2008 emergency fundraising from Qatar. ACACIA: Barrick Gold ABX.TO said on Thursday that two mines at its majority-held Acacia Mining ACAA.L , which account for some 6 percent of Barrick's 2017 production guidance, are impacted by Tanzania's current concentrate export ban. BRITAIN CONSUMERS: The rise in inflation in Britain after the Brexit vote has made households the most downbeat about their finances in more than two years, and the giant services sector is also feeling the impact, surveys showed on Friday. BREXIT: The European Union will next month demand Britain agree to pay a fixed percentage of the EU's outstanding obligations on the day it leaves the bloc, in defiance of a British rejection of that logic as "preposterous".
