CAIRO, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Egypt's central bank said on Thursday it would keep its overnight deposit and lending rates unchanged at 9.25 percent and 10.25 percent respectively after a policy meeting, in line with most analysts' expectations in a Reuters poll.

The bank did not give a reason for its decision but said a full statement would be issued shortly.
