Question

BIG MAC CURRENCIES
-
The cheapest Big Macs are found in China, Malaysia, the Philippines and South Africa,
and all cost less than $1.20. In other words, these countries have the most
undervalued currencies, by more than 50%. The most expensive Big Macs are found
in Britain, Denmark and Switzerland, which by implication have the most overvalued
currencies. Sterling, for example is 12% overvalued against the dollar – less than two
years ago, it was overvalued by 26%.
The greatest triumph of the Big Mac index has been in tracking the euro. When Europe's
new currency was launched in January 1999, virtually everybody predicted that it would rise against the
dollar. Everybody, that is, except the Big Mac index, which suggested that the euro started off significantly
overvalued. One of the best-known hedge funds, Soros Fund Management, admitted that it chewed over the
sell signal given by the Big Mac index when the euro was launched, but then decided to ignore it. The euro
tumbled: Soros was cheesed off.
