CAIRO - The United Arab Emirates has raised 1.5 billion dirhams ($408 million) in its second local currency-denominated bond auction, the state news agency WAM reported on Monday.
The sale of the two-year and three-year tranches, each at 750 million dirhams, attracted 9.7 billion dirhams in offers combined, it added. The auction was the second of several planned for this year.
