CAIRO, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Egypt's central bank said on Thursday it would offer a 650 million euro ($810 million) one-year treasury bill to local banks and foreign financial institutions at an auction on Nov. 17.

The government has turned mainly to the local money market to finance its public deficit since Egypt's popular uprising in early 2011 deterred most foreign investors.

It last issued a dollar-denominated bill in June. (1 US dollar = 0.8020 euro) (Reporting by Lin Noueihed; Editing by Toby Chopra)
