This is a negative trend and laws will be introduced to prevent this,’’ he said.
The agreement endorsed by the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will be tabled in Parliament by the President this week, State Finance Minister Shehan Semasinghe said. ’’The agreement will be tabled this week after March 22,’’ the State Finance Minister said.
