Under the FCSM, a 0% risk weight may apply to the collateralised part of the exposure, provided the exposure and the collateral are denominated in the same currency, as specified in Article 222(6) of the CRR (whereas, in the presence of a currency mismatch, a 20% risk weight should be associated with the collateralised part of the exposure under Article 222(3) of the CRR)[1]
