Egypt's central bank reduced the size of a 15 billion Egyptian pound ($2.52 billion) treasury bill auction by 2 billion pounds on Monday, suggesting demand for the country's debt was subdued after two weeks of political unrest.
In its first auction after a week-long bank closure, the bank sold 7 billion pounds in 91-day bills compared to a planned 8 billion, and 4 billion pounds in 182-day bills versus 5 billion initially foreseen.
It sold 2 billion in 273-day bills as planned.
