Belarus is expected to raise as much as US$1bn in eurobonds this year.

Press reports quote an unnamed government spokesman as saying that the bonds would have a maturity period of at least five years.

Earlier this year, Belarus hired BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland and Sberbank to arrange the bonds.
