FOREWORD
This publication provides the monthly Consumer Price Indices for Uganda (Composite)
and for the ten baskets of Kampala High Income, Kampala Middle Income, Kampala
Low Income, Jinja, Mbale, Masaka, Mbarara, Fortportal, Gulu and Arua. All the baskets
are for the urban households.
The current Consumer Price Index was rebased from 2005/2006 to 2009/2010, using
weights derived from the Uganda National Household Survey (UNHS IV) that was
conducted from May 2009 to April 2010. During the rebasing exercise, Kampala was
further decomposed into three baskets from the two that has been existing. In addition,
Fortportal Centre was incorporated into the Index. The rebased CPI is now classified
using international standards, referred to as Classification of Individual Consumption
According to Purpose (COICOP). This is a shift from the Central Product Classification
(CPC) that was used in the earlier series.
At the elementary aggregate (EA) level, the indices are computed using the Jevons
(Geometric Mean) method for all items within the elementary aggregates. The modified
Laspeyres index formula is used to compute higher level indices. The National CPI is
computed as a weighted average of the ten baskets mentioned above and indices are
available from the EA level.

ACRONYMS AND DEFINITIONS
COICOP: Classification of Individual Consumption According to Purpose, is a
nomenclature developed by the United Nations Statistics Division to classify and
analyse individual consumption expenditures incurred by households, non-profit
institutions serving households and general government according to their purpose.
CPI: Consumer Price Index - a general indicator of price levels paid by households for
consumer goods and services.
CPI basket: A commonly used term for the goods and services priced for the purpose
of compiling the CPI.
Elementary aggregate (EA): The lowest level of commodity classification in the

CPI, and the only level for which index numbers are constructed by direct reference
to price data.
Inflation: A term commonly used to refer to changes in price levels. A rise in prices
is called inflation, and a persistent fall is called deflation.
Jevons price index: An elementary price index defined as the un-weighted

geometric average of the sample price relatives. It can also be defined as the un-
weighted geometric average of the current to base period price relatives.
Laspeyres price index: The Laspeyres price index is an index formula used in price
statistics for measuring the price development of the basket of goods and services
consumed in the base period. The question it answers is how much a basket that
consumers bought in the base period would cost in the current period.
Outlet: The interface between a supplier of products and the consumer. It may be a
shop, a market stall, a catalogue, a website etc. Also referred to as a “retail outlet”,
although it can include wholesale outlets which also sell directly to the consumers
Outlier: A term used to describe any extreme value in a set of data, such as a price
or price relative that requires further investigation or has been verified as incorrect
Price relative: A measure of price movements: the ratio of the price level in one
period to the price level in another.
Reference base: The period in which the CPI is given a value of 100.0. The CPI is
currently on a reference base of 2009/10.
Weight: The measure of the importance of an item in the index regimen relative to
the other items. Weights can be expressed in either quantity or value terms. Value
weights are used in the CPI.

1.0 HIGHLIGHTS OF CPI FOR AUGUST 2019
1.1 Annual Inflation
The Annual Headline Inflation for the year ending August 2019 is recorded at 2.1 percent compared
to the 2.6 percent recorded during the year ended July 2019. The decline in Annual Headline inflation
is largely attributed to the Annual Core Inflation, which dropped to 2.7 percent for the year ending
August 2019 compared to the 3.5 percent registered for the year ended July 2019.
The driver for the decrease in Annual Core inflation was Annual Other Goods Inflation that declined
to 3.5 percent for the year ending August 2019 compared to the 4.5 percent recorded for the year
ended July 2019. In particular, Annual Inflation for Clothing and Footwear decreased to 4.6 percent
for the year ending August 2019 compared to the 5.4 percent recorded in July 2019. Also, the Annual
Inflation for Sugar declined to minus 13.4 percent for the year ending August 2019 compared to the
minus 4.2 percent recorded for the year ended July 2019. Another driver for Core Inflation is the
Services Inflation that declined to 1.5 percent for the year ending August 2019 compared to the 2.1
percent recorded in July 2019.
The Annual Food Crops and Related Items Inflation decelerated further to minus 1.4 percent for the
year ending August 2019 compared to the minus 0.8 percent registered for the year ended July
2019. The decrease was due to Annual Vegetables Inflation that decreased to 3.2 percent for the
year ending August 2019 compared to the 5.1 percent recorded for the year ended July 2019.
However, the Annual Fruits Inflation increased to minus 9.5 percent for the year ending August
2019 compared to minus 11.1 percent recorded for the year ended July 2019.
The Annual Energy, Fuels and Utilities (EFU) Inflation increased to 1.0 percent for the year ending
August 2019 compared to the minus 1.9 percent recorded for the year ended July 2019. The increase
in Annual EFU Inflation is mainly due to Charcoal Inflation that is registered at 4.6 percent for the
year ending August 2019 compared to the minus 4.5 percent recorded for the year ended July 2019.
However, the Annual Liquid Energy Fuels Inflation declined to minus 1.0 percent for the year ending
August 2019 compared to the 1.0 percent recorded for the year ended July 2019. The one year
series for the Headline Index and the Annual Inflation for the three major components are shown
in Figure 1.

1.2 Annual Headline Inflation by Income Groups and Geographical areas

Analysis by geographical areas and income groups reveal that Masaka registered the highest Annual
Inflation of 5.4 percent for the year ending August 2019 compared to the 5.1 percent registered for
the year ended July 2019. This was driven by Annual Inflation for Education that is registered at
46.6 percent for the year ending August 2019 compared to the 46.8 percent registered during the
year ended July 2019. In addition, Housing, Water, Electricity, Gas and Other Fuels Inflation
increased to minus 0.7 percent for the year ending August 2019 compared to the minus 6.3 percent
registered during the year ended July 2019.
The second highest Inflation was registered in Kampala Low Income at 2.5 percent, for the year
ending August 2019 compared to the 2.4 percent recorded for the year ended July 2019. The main
driver was Annual Inflation for Education that rose to 4.4 percent for the year ending August 2019
compared to the 3.8 percent registered during the year ended July 2019. In addition, Annual
Inflation for Miscellaneous Goods and Services increased to 7.7 percent for the year ending August
2019 compared to the 6.2 percent registered for the year ended July 2019.
The least Annual Inflation was registered in Mbale at 0.1 percent for the year ending August 2019
compared to the 1.1 percent recorded for the year ended July 2019. The Low inflation in the centre
is mainly due to Annual Inflation for Food and Non Alcoholic Beverages that declined to minus 1.7
percent for the year ending August 2019 compared to the 0.7 percent registered for the year ended
July 2019. In addition, Transport decreased to 0.8 percent for the year ending August 2019
compared to the 2.1 percent registered for the year ended July 2019. Annual Inflation figures for all
the ten consumption baskets are shown in Figure 2 and Table 7.
