Whats the difference with a governments treasurer and a finance minister?
Originally, the office of Treasurer was to be the government’s official in charge of receiving and disbursing government funds; but this is no longer the case. In most nations today, the office of “Treasurer” (if it still even exists) is reduced to overseeing government operations for the printing of currency and coins. Receipt and disbursing of funds have largely been taken over by various other departments within the Ministry of Finance. The Job of the Finance Minister is to oversee and prepare the government’s budget, as well as make decisions pertaining to government taxation and fiscal spending policy.
