The treasury’s role is to be the steward of U.S. economic and financial systems, and to be an influential participant in the international economy. The treasury’s commitment to citizens is to create economic and employment opportunities for all by raising the rate of sustainable growth. To the extent this objective is linked to world economy, Treasury will seek to influence global financial and economic issues whenever possible to promote global economic growth and stability.
