By final decision of 2 November 2017, ANACOM has approved the methodology for calculating the cost of capital rate of CTT - Correios de Portugal (CTT), applicable to 2018 and subsequent financial years.
This Decision seeks to minimise the unpredictability that is associated with the calculation of CTT’s cost of capital, while ensuring greater regulatory certainty and increasing transparency for all parties; the cost of capital will no longer be determined retrospectively but will now be calculated prior to preparation of the results of the analytical accounting system for the financial year in reference. The aim of this methodology is to determine a cost of capital that properly reflects capacity for a reasonable profit, taking into account the investment risks incurred in provision of the universal service.
Approval was also given to the report of the prior hearing and the public consultation to which the respective draft decision was also submitted (draft decision of 6 July 2017https://www.anacom.pt/render.jsp?contentId=1414406).
