The State Treasury is an agency operating under the Ministry of Finance.
We will make government operations in Finland stronger and more effective in all circumstances.
We are in charge of government borrowing, the investment of cash assets and government debt risk management.
We manage accident compensation payments to government employees, disburse compensation payments to citizens for military injuries and criminal damage, for example, and administer loans, interest subsidies and parliamentary loan guarantees granted from government funds.
Our tasks also include government group accounts and the management of financial administration and payment transactions. We collect and publish financial data from municipalities and wellbeing service counties. We promote knowledge-based management and the digitalisation of financial administration in society. We also support central government organisations in the transformation of working life.
We serve central government, citizens, the municipal sector, communities and companies.
The State Treasury consists of departments and support activities. The Director General is in charge of the State Treasury. The Director General, heads of State Treasury departments, Head of Communications Unit and a personnel representative form the management group. Read more about our organization here >
