The finance minister plays an important role within the French government .
The French Ministry of Economy, Finance and Labor has a long tradition and knows a large number of titles.
Under the Ancien Régime General Controller of Finances . At times the de facto finance ministers acted as presidents of the royal finance council , who were placed above the simple general controllers. Jacques Necker, on the other hand, as a Protestant was not allowed to play the role of general controller, which is why he held a less prestigious position as general finance director. In 1791 this complex arrangement was replaced by the post of finance minister in the wake of the French Revolution . This office was abolished in 1794, but reintroduced as early as 1795 with the beginning of the board of directors .
