In the January 2025 version of the Big Mac index, compiled by the British newspaper "The Economist," it was found that fast food prices continue to rise. According to this index, some countries are experiencing significant increases in product prices.
In particular, the price of a Big Mac in the United States increased by 8.3% compared to last year, leaving this country in first place in terms of expensiveness. At the same time, other countries, such as Switzerland and Norway, are also experiencing price increases.
However, not all countries have faced rising Big Mac prices. Some countries, including Indonesia and the UAE, showed a decrease in prices, which may be explained by internal factors and actions of regulatory bodies.
Analysts note that the Big Mac index is an interesting tool for comparing purchasing power parity and reflects the economic situation in different countries. It allows for a clear view of changes in the economy and the influence of external factors on price levels.
