By these agreements, the opportunity to boost the mutual investment flows will be provided between the two signatory countries through the formation of a sustainable and predictable tax field for foreign investors. The signing of an agreement on ruling out double taxation of income and property will further intensify trade and economic relation and make the transfer of the workforce and technologies between the two signatory states even larger.
Favorable mutual investment flows will also be ensured with Korea. The National Assembly of Armenia adopted a law on liberalization, promotion and reciprocal protection of investments between Armenia and the Republic of Korea. The deputy economic minister, Avak Avanesyan, when presenting the document to the lawmakers, stated that the law identifies essential investment protection procedures, compensation for the damage inflicted, and settlement of other disputes between the sides.
