Everything about The Finance Minister totally explained

The finance minister is a cabinet position in a government. A minister of finance (also called financial affairs, the treasury, the economy, or economic affairs) has many different jobs in a government. He or she helps form the government budget, stimulate the economy, and control finances. Finance ministers are often found in state or provincial governments if that country has a form of federalism.
   Finance ministers powers can vary from governments, but not like a foreign minister. Sometimes the finance minister is the most powerful cabinet post, like in Canada or New Zealand. Other times they're unpopular posts if they must raise taxes or cut spending.
   In the United States, the finance minister is called the Secretary of the Treasury, though there's a separate Treasurer of the United States, and it's the director of the Office of Management and Budget who drafts the budget. In the United Kingdom, the finance minister is called the Chancellor of the Exchequer. In Hong Kong it's called the Financial Secretary, though there's a Secretary for the Treasury subordinate to him.
