[SINGAPORE] Is it a case of “trade tariffs and tariffs-related economic uncertainty be damned”? Prices of Certificate of Entitlement for passenger cars, which confer the right to own a car here, are at elevated levels, while there has been frenzied buying at some recent new condominium launches.

Recently, several major new condo launches saw strong take-up, leaving many people unable to secure units in popular stacks and floors.
