Value of currency and cost of burger in India, world
The Indian rupee is the world's most undervalued currency, according to The Economist's latest Big Mac Index. The rupee is valued at 61.8 per cent below its 'actual' price against the dollar, it says.
The price of Big Mac burgers of McDonald's is considered for the index for the reason of the presence of fast-food chain across most of the countries and the magazine calls this theory 'burgernomics'. The Economist's index is based on purchasing-power parity so in the long term, exchange rates should adjust to equal the price of a basket of goods and services in different countries.
The index calculates the purchasing power of different currencies by finding out the cost of a McDonald's burger across the globe.
