Ministry of Finance - An Introduction

As requested by our Ministry of Education at the start of the current Country President's term (a tad late in finding the time to fully write and publish...)

Also next in the line after [UK]A day at The Ministry of Foreign Affairs. (A great read if you've not had the chance yet)

The Ministry of Finance (MoF) informally The Treasury, is the government department responsible for developing and executing the British government's public finance and economic policies.

The Ministry has the largest hand in controlling the economic stability of the United Kingdom. The MoF controls the Bank of England, which is responsible for regulating the flow of currency into the market, and at what rate. It receives its funding from the National Treasury, with the approval of the House of Commons.

Well this is the Ministry of Finance in real life... in eRepublik the MoF carries out a similar yet different role.

Historically the MoF shares responsibility with 10 Downing Street (Country President) for developing and executing the British government's public finance and economic policies.

Congress (House of Commons) has the largest hand in controlling the economic stability of the United Kingdom, however, the MoF has an important role as an advisory body.
