In the first round of bidding for May, Certificate of Entitlement (COE) premiums rose for Cat A and Cat B, while premiums for Cat C and E slipped.
The various roadshows hosted by the authoised dealers through the past weekends may have increased public interest in new car purchases, keeping premiums steady despite the increased COE supply for this quarter.
