C. bank: Egypt sold $1.796 bln in dollar-denominated treasury bills

Egypt's central bank sold $1.796 billion in one-year dollar-denominated treasury bills to local banks and foreign financial institutions at an auction, the central bank said on Monday.

The government has turned mainly to the local money market to finance its public deficit since a popular uprising in early 2011 that deterred many foreign investors.
