Under economic pressure, McDonald's has reduced prices and launched $5 and $8 discounted meals.

McDonald's and its franchisees have agreed to reduce the prices of eight popular meal sets by 15% and introduce special meals priced at $5 and $8 to attract customers who are saving money due to economic difficulties. According to sources, this move was reached after several weeks of discussions between McDonald's and restaurant operators, including providing financial support if franchisees agree to lower the prices. Later this year, McDonald's will launch $5 breakfast sets and $8 Big Mac and McNuggets value meals, marketing them under the name "Value Meals".
