Published December 3, 2017 Updated December 3, 2017 03:10pm

Yields on the 91-day bills rose to 19.171 percent from 18.869 at the last sale a week earlier, while yields on the 266-day bills rose to 18.746 percent from 18.283.

Appetite for Egypt's domestic debt has grown since the central bank floated the pound currency a year ago. Since then, the CBE has raised key interest rates by 700 basis points.
