[edit]

In this sentence:

The relative cost of high-margin products, such as essential pharmaceutical products, or cellular telephony might compare local capacity and willingness to pay, as much as relative currency values.

Please remove the comma after "products" and add one after "telephony". The comma is meant to separate the "such as" clause from the rest of the sentence, but right now it splits the "such as", making it sound like "the relative cost of high-margin products or cellular telephony might..." 123.51.107.94 (talk) 03:48, 21 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Partly done. I went with a comma after "products" and "telephony" and no others. It would probably be fine with no commas at all, but it's a pretty long sentence for that. CWenger (^@) 04:33, 21 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Overview - BigMacIndex example

[edit]

I believe there is a mistake in the notation of the implied exchange rate.

Article states the implied SFR/USD exchange rate is 1.20. It should actually be the implied USD/SFR exchange rate. The same mistake is repeated further down. the article states the actual SFR/USD rate is 0.87. It should actually be the actual USD/SFR.

The economist website clearly states it uses the USD as the base currency against the quote currencies. MarcAndreBergeron (talk) 16:20, 28 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
