What Direction Générale du Trésor et de la Comptabilité Publique does

Direction Générale du Trésor et de la Comptabilité Publique (DGTCP) is the national treasury and public accounting directorate of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, operating under the Ministry of Finance. Established in 1959 under Decree 59-474, DGTCP holds exclusive statutory authority over state budget execution, public accounting rule development, treasury liquidity and cash flow management, state portfolio management, the Deposit and Consignment Fund, and retirement fund administration for civil servants. Its mandate is organized across 9 central directorates, 15 regional directorates, 22 perceptions in Nouakchott, 48 perceptions in the interior, 52 overseas accounting stations serving diplomatic and consular missions, and 30 ministerial accounting departments created since 2021 to decentralize payment processing. Customer-facing entities are exclusively governmental: ministries, local collectivities, public establishments, diplomatic missions, and mining and oil sector operators transacting with the state.

DGTCP's core technology asset is the Arqam (Arkam) integrated information system, an internally deployed treasury management platform that is interconnected with the tax administration, customs administration, and the Central Bank of Mauritania. The Arqam platform is complemented by a citizen-facing e-services portal offering treasury check tracking, pension slips, receipts, and expense dossier access. DGTCP also publishes structured public finance reporting products: the monthly Tableau des Opérations Financières de l'État (TOFE), the annual/semi-annual Rapport sur les Opérations Financières de l'État (ROFE), the monthly Situation Mensuelle de la Trésorerie (SMT), and petroleum revenue reports for the National Hydrocarbon Revenue Fund (FNRH). Strategic international partnerships support capacity building and reform, including the World Bank (public finance modernization), the European Union (Public Finance Reform Master Plan 2025-2030), the IMF (regular missions and policy dialogue), Morocco's Ministry of Economy and Finance (knowledge exchange on unified treasury account management), and the Central Bank of Mauritania (Arqam integration and joint technical missions).

As a government agency, DGTCP does not operate a commercial revenue model; it is funded through the Mauritanian state budget and supplemented by international donor partnerships. 2025 performance indicators include non-tax revenues outside the mining sector of 28.85 billion MRU (approximately 6.4% of non-extractive GDP and 31.3% of total state revenues of 110.92 billion MRU), a 94.84% budget execution rate, and an electronic payment user base of 335,000 (up from 4,593 in 2022). The current Director General, Yahya Ould Sadvi (H'meyti), serves as Treasurer General and Principal Accountant of the State. DGTCP is governed by Decree 2019-349 and is currently executing a multi-year reform agenda that includes programme-based budgeting adoption, asset accounting integration, and unified treasury account consolidation.

Direct peers

• Direction Générale du Trésor et de la Comptabilité Publique (Senegal): The Senegalese national treasury, which operates under the same organizational model and French-language public finance traditions. It serves as a directly comparable peer given shared WAEMU/West African public financial management frameworks.
• Direction Générale du Trésor (Côte d'Ivoire): The Ivorian national treasury representing a WAEMU peer with a comparable mandate of budget execution, public accounting, and treasury management. Both operate within francophone West African public finance systems.
• Direction Générale du Trésor (Morocco): The Moroccan national treasury, which is a core strategic partner of DGTCP for knowledge exchange and capacity building. They share the same mandate, regulatory structure, and operate within a similar francophone Maghreb public finance framework.
• Direction Générale du Trésor (Cameroon): The Cameroonian national treasury (Trésor Public), a CEMAC regional peer with comparable mandate of public accounting, treasury management, and budget execution. Shares francophone African public finance traditions.
• Direction Générale du Trésor (Tunisia): The Tunisian national treasury, sharing francophone Mediterranean public finance traditions with Mauritania. It is a directly comparable peer with similar mandate and structure for budget execution and public accounting.

Others

• World Bank Treasury: The World Bank's treasury operation, which is a core strategic partner of DGTCP providing technical and financial support for public finance reforms. Not a direct competitor or peer, but an enabling organization that shapes DGTCP's modernization agenda.

Broad incumbents

• Banque Centrale de Mauritanie (BCM): The Mauritanian central bank, which is directly connected to the Arqam integrated system and serves as a core partner. While it has a monetary policy mandate rather than treasury management, it is intricately linked to DGTCP's operations.
• HM Treasury (UK): HM Treasury represents a globally-recognized national treasury serving as a model for treasury modernization, budget execution, and public financial management. Comparable in mandate if not in scale.
• U.S. Department of the Treasury: The U.S. Treasury serves as a broad incumbent reference for national treasury functions, providing benchmarks for treasury management modernization, public accounting, and financial reporting practices that DGTCP aspires to.

Regional players

• Ministère de l'Économie et des Finances (Mali): The Malian Ministry of Economy and Finance, which houses the national treasury function. Comparable to Mauritania's DGTCP as a regional West African francophone peer with shared WAEMU-style public finance mandate.
