Egypt's central bank has cancelled a 91-day treasury bill auction planned for March 24, it said on Sunday.

The bank auctions the instruments on behalf of Egypt's Finance Ministry, which was offering 91-day T-bills worth 1 billion Egyptian pounds ($177.64 million).

The central bank gave no reason for the cancellation.

The average yield on 91-day T-bills at the previous auction on March 15 was 10.518 percent.
