What this means in plain English
The Big Mac Index suggests the AZN is currently undervalued against the US dollar by roughly 36.2%. In practice, that means a US visitor walking into a McDonald's in Azerbaijan will find their dollar stretches further than at home.
But the Big Mac Index is a starting point, not a verdict. Local wages, taxes, real-estate costs, and McDonald's own brand positioning all shape the local menu price. For a fuller discussion, see why PPP theory has its limits.
