Title
New Zealand Treasury
Description
First established in 1840, the Treasury is one of New Zealand’s oldest institutions. Initially the Treasury consisted of just a few officials responsible for managing the Government’s day-to-day financial affairs. Today the Treasury employs just over 300 people, is the Government’s lead advisor on economic and financial policy, and has the overall vision of helping governments achieve higher living standards for New Zealanders.
The Treasury’s role is broad and varied. We manage the public purse, advising on how governments can get the best quality and value out of public spending. But we also take a broad view of the New Zealand economy, developing strategic advice for the Government on its future shape and direction.
At an operational level we manage the Crown's liabilities, monitor significant assets, manage and publish the Budget documents and Crown financial statements and manage New Zealand's relationships with international financial institutions.
