Average yields on Egypt's three-month and nine-month treasury bills fell at an auction on Sunday, data from the central bank showed, amid high foreign buying of Egyptian debt.
The average yield on the 91-day bill slipped to 20.767 percent, from 21.564 percent at the last similar auction and the yield on the 266-day bill fell to 20.570 percent from 21.582 percent.
Foreign buying accounted for 41.3 percent of Sunday's sale, standing at 7.103 billion Egyptian pounds ($397.04 million), Finance Minister Amr El Garhy told Reuters.
Demand for Egypt's domestic debt has grown since the central bank raised key interest rates by 2 percentage points this month, its third increase since the country floated its currency in November last year.
