Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público (SHCP)

Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público (SHCP) is the government agency responsible for managing Mexico’s public finances, fiscal policy, and public credit. It plays a central role in the country’s economic administration, overseeing financial regulation and supervising various decentralized government entities, including development banks and specialized commissions.

In the context of treasury and finance, the ministry is the authority that oversees the regulatory framework for financial institutions and credit unions in Mexico. It also manages the state’s financial interests and fiscal operations, serving as the primary entity to which financial firms and brokers must be authorised and reported to ensure compliance within the national financial system.
