Calling off bond auctions is a crucial tool in Egypt\u2019s bid to keep its debt service obligations in check going forward, Maait is quoted by the domestic press as having said. His remarks came after the Finance Ministry<a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/09\/25\/egypt-cancels-bond-auction-for-the-fourth-consecutive-week\/\">called off its fourth treasury bond auction<\/a> in as many weeks on Monday.
