Tesouro Nacional

What Tesouro Nacional does

Tesouro Nacional (legally, the Secretaria do Tesouro Nacional or STN) is a Brazilian federal government ministry-level secretariat under the Ministério da Fazenda (Ministry of Finance), headquartered in Brasília and operating as the official treasury authority of the Brazilian federal government since 1986. The entity is responsible for managing public finances, federal public debt, fiscal policy execution, and the distribution of constitutional transfers to Brazil's 26 states, Federal District, and 5,570+ municipalities. It holds statutory authority to validate and publish fiscal accounts under the Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal (LRF) and TCU guidelines, making it the singular authoritative source for federal fiscal statistics in Brazil.

Its core product is the Tesouro Transparente portal (tesourotransparente.gov.br), a free, publicly accessible web platform providing fiscal statistics, budget execution data, public debt visualizations, and intergovernmental transfer information across the Union, states, and municipalities. The platform is built on the CKAN open data framework with public APIs (most notably the API de Transferências Constitucionais), supporting downloadable datasets in CSV, XLSX, and PDF formats, interactive dashboards, narrative data stories (e.g., Dinâmica da Dívida, Fluxo de Receitas e Despesas), and educational multimedia content (the Tchiluanda video series). The technology infrastructure is powered by Serpro (Serviço Federal de Processamento de Dados), Brazil's federal data processing service.

The business model is non-commercial: the portal is fully funded by the Brazilian federal government budget and provides all data, APIs, and tools at no cost to serve the public interest in fiscal transparency. There are no pricing tiers, subscription models, or commercial revenue streams. User segments are primarily governmental (federal entities, states, and municipalities using the data for fiscal compliance, planning, and tracking of constitutional transfers including FPE, FPM, FUNDEB, IPI-EXP, CIDE, Royalties, and ITR) and secondarily citizens, journalists, researchers, and civil society organizations accessing public finance information. The entity does not disclose traditional financial metrics such as revenue, headcount, or burn, as it operates as a government agency rather than a commercial enterprise.
