Singapore’s Certificate of Entitlement (COE) pricing has seen an unusual trend, with Category A COE prices exceeding those of Category B on three occasions in the past four months. Typically, Category B COEs – for larger, more powerful cars – command a higher premium. The Straits Times is investigating the reasons behind this shift, which deviates from historical patterns. Factors potentially influencing this include demand fluctuations within each vehicle category and broader economic conditions. Analysts are now assessing whether this trend represents a temporary anomaly or signals a more sustained change in the COE market. The continued monitoring of COE prices is crucial for both car buyers and industry stakeholders. The Straits Times will continue to report on developments in this area.
