The Public Treasury Department

  • Treasury Department, East Street, Nassau, The Bahamas

The Public Treasury Department was established on the 21st March 1914 by an Act of Parliament making it the central accounting agency for the government of The Bahamas.

In 1964 The Bahamas obtained internal self-government under a new Constitution that allowed for the establishment of the ministerial system as we know it today. The Public Treasury Department was placed under the Ministry of Finance and has remained a Department under the Ministry of Finance to this present date.
