In the first round of bidding for April, Certificate of Entitlement (COE) premiums rose for Cat A and Cat E, while premiums for Cat B slipped.
The recent high petrol prices may have pursuaded car buyers to opt for more fuel economical vehicles in the past weeks, which are more likely to fall into Cat A. The recent change in the power threshold for electric vehicles to be considered in Cat A may have also prompted more shoppers of affordable models which typically fall into the Cat A category to make their purchases these past weeks in anticipation of higher premiums for the segment.
