Maksim Yermolovich, the Belarusian finance minister, has said that the country will receive a loan of 3.5 billion yuan (around 452 million euros) from the China Development Bank by the end of this year.
“Work is underway to raise a loan from the China Development Bank. A memorandum has already been signed,” said the minister, reported by Belarusian state news agency Belta. Mr Yermolovich added that the two sides are now negotiating the borrowing terms.
