Germany's Federal Ministry of Finance, the Bundesministerium der Finanzen, is the country's cabinet-level finance ministry, headquartered at the Detlev-Rohwedder-Haus in Berlin since 1999 with a secondary office in Bonn. It traces its origin to the Imperial Treasury established in 1879 and today serves as Germany's supreme federal revenue authority, overseeing tax and customs administration, managing the federal budget and public debt, and playing a central role in European Union financial policy; its finance minister holds a distinctive veto power over cabinet decisions that would increase government expenditure.
