US Treasury

Nation's money manager

The US Treasury is the federal department responsible for managing government finances—collecting taxes, paying bills, issuing currency, and managing national debt.

Treasury securities (bills, bonds, notes) are debt instruments backed by the US government, considered among the safest investments: Treasury yields rose on inflation concerns.

The Treasury Secretary advises the president on economic policy.
