Average yields drop on Egypt's three- and nine-month T-bills

CAIRO - 10 September 2017: Average yields on Egypt’s three-month and nine-month treasury bills fell at an auction Sunday, data from the central bank showed.

The average yield on the 91-day bill slipped to 18.976 percent, from 19.501 percent at the last similar auction and the yield on the 266-day bill fell to 18.661 percent from 19.356 percent.
