The Ministry of Finance or Ministry of Treasury (MH) is the department of the Government of Spain responsible for planning and carrying out the government policy on public finance and budget. It applies and manages the regional and local financing systems and the provision of information on the economic-financial activity of the different Public Administrations.[5]
The Finance Ministry also manages the cadastre and collects all the State taxes through the Agencia Tributaria as well as controlling the state-owned enterprises through the State Company of Industrial Participations (SEPI). Likewise, the MH manages the central government goods, the European funds and the public lottery.[5] However, most of its duties are carried out by autonomous agencies like the Tax Agency and the Royal Mint.
The MH is headed by the Minister of Finance, who is appointed by the King of Spain at request of the Prime Minister. The Minister is assisted by three main officials, the Secretary of State for Finance, the Secretary of State for Budgets and Expenditures and the Under-Secretary of the Department.
Since June 2018, the current Minister of the Treasury is María Jesús Montero, who previously served as Regional Minister of Finance of the region of Andalusia.[6]
