Small car COE premium hits $33,798

Open COE premiums also rose to $33,420.

The certificate of entitlement (COE) for most cars rose in the latest bidding exercise this August with COE premiums of cars up to 1,600cc and 130bhp hitting $33,798 as traders disposed of their order backlog.

The move comes after the COE for small cars earlier plunged to an eight year low at $25,000 in July following new vehicle emission scheme (VES) issued by the Land Transport Authority (LTA).

COE premiums for cars above 1,600cc or 130bhp also rose to $34,381.

Open COE, which can be used for any vehicle except motorcycles, also followed the upward ttrend after hitting $33,420.

Only COE premiums for goods vehicle and buses fell to $30,389.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
