TL;DR
CRI estimated national economic parameters for Uganda, including EOCK, FEP, NTP, economic prices, and CSCFs for over 5000 commodities. A web-based database was developed to facilitate easy access, aiding public investment and PPP appraisal for the Government of Uganda.

The Government of Uganda contracted CRI through the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, to estimate the country's national parameters. Using its expertise and experience in this field, CRI computed the Economic Opportunity Cost of Capital (EOCK), the Foreign Exchange Premium (FEP), and the Premium for Non-Trade Commodities (NTP) for Uganda. This project also included the estimation of the economic prices and Commodity Specific Conversion Factors (CSCFs) for over 5000 tradable commodities and ten non-tradable commodities.

A web-based database software was also developed to facilitate easy access to the national parameters, economic prices and conversion factors by project analysts and other stakeholders. The Ugandan National Parameters and Conversion Factors database is available online at http://national-parameters.ug.
