    History

    The Ministry of Treasury and Economics was established in 1978 with the division of the Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs into two separate Ministries.

    With this change, the title of the presiding Minister was changed from the "Treasurer of Ontario and Minister of Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs" to the "Treasurer of Ontario and Minister of Economics".

    The various branches of the Ministry were divided into four primary divisions or offices. These were the Administration Division(formerly Support Services), the Office of the Treasury, the Office of the Budget and Intergovernmental Finance, and the Office of Economic Policy.

    In 1991, a new Treasury Board (the old Treasury Board, established in 1886, having been replaced with the Management Board of Cabinet in 1971) was established within the Ministry of Treasury and Economics. This Board assumed responsibility over the financial management of the provincial government, previously a function of the Management Board of Cabinet.

    Agencies which reported to the Ministry included the Ontario Economic Council, the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement Board, the Ontario Municipal Improvement Corporation, the Stadium Corporation of Ontario, Ltd., the Teacher's Superannuation Commission, the Inflation Restraint Board, the Ontario Universities Capital Aid Corporation, and the Ontario Education Capital Aid Corporation.

    In 1993, the Ministry of Treasury and Economics was amalgamated with the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Financial Institutions to form the Ministry of Finance.
