=== Imperial Department of Finance ===
The Imperial Department of Finance (''luBawaab luShahitishme aluKhazeen'') is arguably the oldest government department because it traces its heritage to the Imperial Treasury of [[Ishak I|Ishak the Great]], the first High King of Packilvania of the [[Zubraynite dynasty]] in the 13th century [[Common Era calendar|CE]]. Hence its Packilvanian name actually means "Imperial Gate of the Treasury".
It is responsible for developing and proposing the annual budget and the country's fiscal policy. This includes oversight of and proposing new government borrowing, spending and taxation. It also controls the finances of the government including authorising the Packilvanian Central Bank to disburse funds to government departments, provincial governments and state-owned entities.
In fact the Packilvanian Central Bank is accountable for its work to the Finance Department because it acts as the issuer of the national currency, the [[Packilvanian dinar]], is the lender of last resort, and leverages its control of monetary policy to control inflation, and is the banker of the government including controlling its foreign exchange and precious metals reserves. Through the Office for Fiscal Discipline, this department assesses, monitors and reports on the health of the budget and makes recommendations to ensure its disciplined management.
It also has direct oversight of the Imperial Revenue Services which is responsible for collecting taxes, customs duties etc., monitoring and investigating tax fraud, and advising the Minister on tax policy. It also controls the Statistics Bureau which collects, analyses and reports on data with respect to matters of economic importance such as economic growth, inflation, unemployment etc. This Department also makes policy and legislative recommendations with regard to any matter that it believes is economically relevant.
=== Imperial Department of Housing and Urban Development ===
Known in Packilvanian as ''luBawaab luShahitishme aleBayeet nadine luNumoon aleShtar'', the Department of Housing and Urban Development is responsible for dispensing funds for public housing projects and coordinating such projects with provincial and local governments. The department also conducts research and reports on and proposes and executed policy and legislation with respect to housing and urban development. It shares a lot of responsibility for housing and urban development with provincial and local governments thus it also coordinates housing and urban development projects between provinces for instance between [[Bingol]] and [[Mekedesh]].
