The 150-year journey of the State Treasury has unfolded through major societal changes and reforms. In the anniversary interviews, former Directors General Jukka Wuolijoki (1992–2008) and Timo Laitinen (2008–2023) take viewers on a journey back in time to moments when Finnish society was undergoing significant transformation.

From changes in financial administration to the financial crisis and the pandemic, and up to the present day, a picture emerges of work that has required simultaneous cost-saving, renewal, and future-building. The interviews illustrate how the State Treasury has evolved over the decades—from a precise executor to a developer and a guiding force supporting the entire central government administration.

The interviews offer an engaging perspective on how extensive experience and a changing operating environment intersect. They are available on the State Treasury’s 150th anniversary website.
