MINSK, 3 February (BelTA) – The Finance Ministry of Belarus expects to receive the second tranche of the Russian loan at the amount of $500 million in the first half of the year, Finance Minister Yuri Seliverstov told reporters on 3 February, BelTA has learned.

“In general, it was decided that it [the second tranche of Russia’s state loan] will be transferred this year. So far, we are planning to get it in the first half of the year,” Yuri Seliverstov said.
