Chancellor of the Exchequer (Wiltshire)

The Chancellor of the Exchequer is a senior Wiltshire Government minister and head of the Wiltshire Treasury and Wiltshire Reserve. As a senior member of the Cabinet, the Chancellor is a member of the President's Privy Council.

Responsible for all economic and financial matters, the role is described, and often called, as the equivalent to that of a finance minister in other countries. The position was established and designed by Eric Johnson, the first Chancellor, as a stabilizing force for the Wiltshirian economy and it is the Chancellor who presents the government's budgets to the Wiltshire National Assembly. The role was first used in 3009 and has continued in some form or another to this day.

The word "Exchequer" comes from the old British term for treasury and is used interchangeably with the Wiltshire Treasury, but not the Wiltshire Reserve (as a separate entity).

The current Chancellor is Helena Jahnke of the Ecologists & Greens. Jahnke became Chancellor as part of the 3024 Wiltshire government formation negotiations, returning to the position after two years in opposition.
