KIEV, March 28 (Reuters) - Belarus and the Eurasian Development bank signed an agreement on Monday on a $2 billion loan to be disbursed in tranches until 2018 to support economic reforms, the Belarussian Finance Ministry said in a statement.

“The first tranche of $500 million is expected within the next few days,” it said.

The 10-year loans will be disbursed from the bank’s Eurasian Stabilisation Fund - an anti-crisis tool created by six post-Soviet nations - Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan.
