With reference to paragraph 4 of Article 11 (Interest) of the Convention:

It is understood that the term " arrangement involving back-to-back loans " would cover, inter alia , any kind of arrangement structured in such a way that a financial institution which is a resident of a Contracting State receives interest arising in the other Contracting State and the financial institution pays an equivalent interest to another person who is a resident of the first-mentioned Contracting State and, if it received the interest directly from the other Contracting State, would not be entitled to the exemption from tax with respect to that interest in that other Contracting State.
