The government has given an undertaking to the International Monetary Fund to amend the anti-money-laundering law and at least six other legislations and put together all debt-related responsibilities at one place by September this year.
Sources said the proposed amendments would be shared with an IMF mission by mid-August before tabling them in the National Assembly.
The government is reported to have assured the IMF that in order to enable the use of anti-money laundering tools to combat tax evasion it has already started preliminary work for including tax crimes in the schedule of offences of the 2010 Anti-Money-Laundering Act.
