The Directorate-General for the Treasury (DGT) is a component of the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Business responsible for managing the Spanish Public Treasury as well as carry out the government policy on financing and indebtedness. Also, it is in charge of the minting of currency through the Royal Mint as well as other competencies on fighting money laundering and financing of terrorism.

The Directorate-General dates back to the beginning of the 19th century and originally it belonged to the Ministry of Finance but since the 20th century, every time that the Economy Ministry has existed this body has been integrated into it. Also, since 2014 the DGT is integrated in the new General Secretariat for the Treasury that supervises and directs the DGT actions.
