Big Mac Index

What is Big Mac Index

Since 1986, The Economist has been publishing a price index known as the Big Mac Index. This index serves as an informal method of evaluating the purchasing power parity (PPP) between two currencies. Additionally, it serves as a test of the extent to which market exchange rates result in commodities costing the same in different nations. Essentially it “seeks to make exchange-rate theory a bit more digestible.” Through the use of this index, the relative cost of purchasing a Big Mac, which is a hamburger that is sold in McDonald's restaurants, is compared across the globe.
