The actual exchange rate between the British pound and the U.S. dollar was $1.25 per pound. The dollar price of a Big Mac purchased in the United Kingdom was, therefore, computed as follows: Dollar price of a Big Mac in the United KingdomDollar price of a Big Mac in the United Kingdom = = GBP 3.29×$1.25GBP 1.00GBP 3.29×$1.25GBP 1.00 = = $4.11$4.11 For the price you paid for a Big Mac in the United States, you could have purchased a Big Mac in the United Kingdom and had some change left over for fries!

China reevaluated the yuan to make the currency effectively 2.1 percent stronger against the U.S. dollar. In mid-2007, China again took steps to let its currency trade more freely against the dollar and to cool its sizzling economy and contain its soaring trade surplus with the United States. In the reversal, however, in mid-2015, China devalued its currency by 4.4 percent against the dollar to stem the deceleration of its economy. Under the new currency system, China has not yet surrendered control of the currency. It has moved away from a fixed exchange rate but not all the way to a flexible or free-floating one. In the long run, the impact of China’s currency manipulation on trade and on the world financial system could be huge.
