At **** U.S. dollars, Switzerland has the most expensive Big Macs in the world, according to the January 2025 Big Mac index. Concurrently, the cost of a Big Mac was **** dollars in the U.S., and **** U.S. dollars in the Euro area. What is the Big Mac index? The Big Mac index, published by The Economist, is a novel way of measuring whether the market exchange rates for different countries’ currencies are overvalued or undervalued. It does this by measuring each currency against a common standard – the Big Mac hamburger sold by McDonald’s restaurants all over the world. Twice a year the Economist converts the average national price of a Big Mac into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at that point in time. As a Big Mac is a completely standardized product across the world, the argument goes that it should have the same relative cost in every country. Differences in the cost of a Big Mac expressed as U.S. dollars therefore reflect differences in the purchasing power of each currency. Is the Big Mac index a good measure of purchasing power parity? Purchasing power parity (PPP) is the idea that items should cost the same in different countries, based on the exchange rate at that time. This relationship does not hold in practice. Factors like tax rates, wage regulations, whether components need to be imported, and the level of market competition all contribute to price variations between countries. The Big Mac index does measure this basic point – that one U.S. dollar can buy more in some countries than others. There are more accurate ways to measure differences in PPP though, which convert a larger range of products into their dollar price. Adjusting for PPP can have a massive effect on how we understand a country’s economy. The country with the largest GDP adjusted for PPP is China, but when looking at the unadjusted GDP of different countries, the U.S. has the largest economy.

Der 20. Oktober des Jahres 1987 war der bisher schwärzeste Tag in der Geschichte des Nikkei 225 Index – am Ende des Handelstages schloss der japanische Leitindex bei einem Stand von 21.910 Punkten. Den Vortag hatte der Nikkei 225 noch bei einem Stand von ****** Punkten beendet. Dies entspricht einem Kursverlust von **** Prozent. Wie kam es zu diesem Kursrutsch? In die Geschichte ging der Vortag, also der 19. Oktober 1987, als „Schwarzer Montag“ ein, gleichzeitig war er der erste Computer-Crash überhaupt an den weltweiten Börsen. Ausgangsort des Börsenkrachs war die New Yorker Wall Street. Einen eindeutig festzumachenden Auslöser für den Kurssturz des US-Leitindex Dow Jones gab es jedoch nicht. In den Jahren zuvor hatte der US-Aktienmarkt einen ungeheuren Boom erlebt, bedingt durch Ronald Reagans liberale Wirtschaftspolitik. In den Monaten vor dem Oktober 1987 hatten sich die makroökonomischen Rahmenbedingungen jedoch verschlechtert. Unter anderem stiegen die weltweiten Zinsen, das US-Außenhandelsdefizit hatte sich markant vergrößert und zunehmende Unsicherheiten auf den Devisenmärkten führten zum Vertrauensverlust in den zuvor abgewerteten US-Dollar. Anleger begannen ihre Aktien abzustoßen – es kam zu einer regelrechten Verkaufspanik, die zeitverzögert nahezu alle Börsen weltweit erreichte. Der Computerhandel beschleunigte den damit einhergehenden rasanten Absturz der Kurse noch. Über den Nikkei 225 Index Der Nikkei 225 ist einer von mehreren Aktienindizes der Zeitung Nihon Keizai Shimbun zur Messung der Entwicklung der Tokioter Börse. Er ist Asiens bedeutendster Aktienindex und basiert auf 225 ausgesuchten Aktienwerten. Weiterhin wird der Nikkei 225 nach der Dow Jones-Methode ohne Dividenden, Bezugsrechte und Sonderzahlungen berechnet, das heißt, er ist ein preisgewichteter Kursindex – im Gegensatz zum DAX. Der deutsche Leitindex wird zwar sowohl als Kurs- wie auch als Performanceindex berechnet, die gebräuchlichere Variante - vor allem in den Medien - ist jedoch der Performanceindex.
