Written Reply to Parliamentary Question

Ms He Ting Ru asked the Acting Minister for Transport for each COE bidding exercise in 2025 and excluding COEs registered to companies, what is the breakdown in absolute numbers and percentages of new COE registrations that were awarded to (i) existing COE holders, (ii) recent holders who had a COE within the last 60 days and (iii) those without a COE within the last 60 days respectively.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow: 

1.     On average across Categories A and B in the first three quarters in 2025, around four in five or about 24,000 COEs were awarded to existing COE holders, around 2% or about 500 COEs were awarded to those who held a COE within the last 60 days, and around one in five or about 6,000 COEs were awarded to those who had not held a COE in the last 60 days.
