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 MAY 2020
1.1 Annual Inflation
The Annual Headline Inflation for the year ending May 2020 is recorded at 2.8 percent lower than
the 3.2 percent registered for the year ended April 2020. The decline in Annual Headline inflation is
largely attributed to the Annual Food Crops and Related Item Inflation that is registered at a minus
4.4 percent for the year ending May 2020 compared to the minus 2.0 percent registered for the
year ended April 2020.
The decrease in Annual Food Crops and related Items Inflation was mainly due to Annual Fruits
Inflation that recorded minus 16.3 percent for the year ending May 2020 compared to the minus
12.6 percent recorded for the year ended April 2020. In particular, the Annual Inflation for Bananas
decelerated further to minus 29.0 percent for the year ending May 2020 compared to the minus
21.2 percent recorded for the year ended April 2020. In addition, Annual Inflation for Vegetables
declined to 5.0 percent for the year ending May 2020 compared to 6.5 percent recorded for the year
ended April 2020, See table 1.
Annual Core Inflation declined to 3.2 percent for the year ending May 2020 compared to 3.4 percent
recorded for the year ended April 2020. The decline is attributed to Annual Other Goods Inflation
that is registered at 4.3 percent for the year ending May 2020 compared to 5.0 percent recorded
for the year ended April 2020. In particular, Maize flour Inflation decreased to 7.9 percent for the
year ending May 2020 compared to 37.0 percent recorded for the year ended April 2020. In addition,
Sugar inflation declined to 3.0 percent for the year ending May 2020 compared to 10.9 percent
recorded for the year ended April 2020. However, Services Inflation increased to 1.5 percent for the
year ending May 2020 compared to 1.0 percent recorded for the year ended April 2020, see Table

The Annual Energy Fuel and Utilities (EFU) Inflation increased to 8.6 percent for the year ending
May 2020 compared to the 8.3 percent recorded for the year ended April 2020. The increase is
mainly due to Solid Fuels Inflation that is registered at 27.1 percent for the year ending May 2020
compared to the 26.6 percent recorded for the year ended April 2020. Specifically, the Annual
Inflation for Charcoal rose to 28.5 percent for the year ending May 2020 compared to the 28.1
percent recorded for the year ended April 2020. However, the Annual Inflation for Petrol recorded
a minus 7.8 percent for the year ending May 2020 compared to minus 8.2 percent recorded for the
