Chart of the Day: See the massive spike in car de-registrations due in 2015

But COE premiums will stay elevated.

This chart from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) shows that there will be a sharp surge in vehicle de-registrations this year.

This comes on back of over 100,000 vehicles that will be between 9-10 years old this year. Under the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) system, most cars will have to be scrapped after a decade.

However, the MAS warns that COE premiums will remain elevated as there is firm replacement demand.

“Current car COE premiums remain significantly higher than in early 2010 when quotas were at similar levels, partly owing to firm replacement demand. Thus, even with the expected surge in car COE quotas for the rest of the year, arising from the large number of cars due for de-registration, COE premiums could fall only moderately,” stated the MAS.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
