Feb 23 (Reuters) - Stock markets in the Gulf were mixed on Sunday, with the Saudi bourse closed for a public holiday.

In Qatar, the index .QSI nudged 0.1% lower, hit by a 1% fall in Qatar Gas Transport Nakilat QGTS.QA.

Outside the Gulf, Egypt's blue-chip index .EGX30 added 0.3%, helped by a 0.9% rise in Commercial International Bank COMI.CA.

Egypt's central bank kept its key overnight interest rates unchanged on Thursday, as expected, citing the impact on inflation of uncertainty around U.S. protectionism and geopolitics.
