The Big Mac Index
The Big Mac has been used to compare currencies since The Economist started doing it in 1986. Divide one country's price by another's and you get the exchange rate those two prices imply; the distance from the real rate is the finding.

Singapore is the second most expensive market in our price index, about 22% above the all-market average, and the reason is legible from the street: extremely high rent, very high footfall per square metre, and a small land area with nowhere cheap to put a restaurant.
McDonald's here is halal-certified through MUIS, and the menu localises toward rice meals and local flavour profiles alongside the global core.
The brand competes against an exceptional hawker centre culture that can serve a full meal below any chain price, which shapes what a chain can credibly sell.
