Question

Is it permissible that exposures to NATO Communication and Information Agency are assigned a 0 % risk weight under Article 118(f) CRR?

Background

Article 118 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (CRR) states that certain international organisations listed therein shall be assigned a 0 % risk weight. It is unclear whether exposures to NATO Communication and Information Agency can be assigned a 0 % risk weight under the said article, as Q&A 968 states that exposures to international organisations not included in the exhaustive list of Article 118 CRR shall be treated as exposures to corporates (Article 122).
