The finances of the state capital of Wiesbaden are largely determined by municipal budgetary policy in addition to the financial policy decisions of the federal and state governments and economic developments.

Forward-looking planning and consistent controlling during the year are prerequisites for ensuring that the state capital of Wiesbaden remains capable of acting independently.

As a Hessian municipality, the state capital of Wiesbaden is legally obliged to manage its budget economically and efficiently. In order to fulfill this obligation, comprehensive controlling is indispensable.

One of the central tasks of the treasury department is to advise and prepare decisions for the committees and specialist departments on all financial and business management issues.
