Abstract

In this project, the National Parameters which includes the Economic Opportunity Cost of Capital (EOCK), the Foreign Exchange Premium (FEP) and the Premium for Non- Tradable Outlays (NTP) were estimated for the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development of the Republic of Uganda (MoFPED), the commodity – specific conversion factors for Uganda was estimated and a database for the Republic of Uganda for the national parameters and commodity – specific conversion factors was created. After conducting a sensitivity analysis for the key parameters used in this study to ensure the robustness of estimate, the simulation results for the economic opportunity cost of capital (EOCK) shows that 11% is the net value. Values obtained for the foreign exchange premium (FEP) is 7.25%, and 1% for the premium on Non – tradable outlays (NTP). The national parameters and commodity–specific conversion factors (CSCF) could be found on http://national-parameters.ug.
