Cutting of the department

Responsibility for economic matters was distributed very differently in the various East Timorese cabinets . In the government of 1975 there was, on the one hand, a minister for economic coordination and statistics, and on the other hand, a minister for economic and social affairs. The Ministry of Economy of the First Transitional Government became the Ministry of Economy and Development in the Second Interim Government and finally became the Ministry of Development and Environment in the First Government . During the government reshuffle in 2005, the Prime Minister gave the portfolio to the new Minister for Development, who remained in office in the two following governments.

In the fourth government , the department was divided into two ministries. The Ministry of Economy and Development was responsible for developing microfinance and cooperatives. The second Ministry of Tourism , Trade and Industry ( tetum Ministériu Turizmu, Komérsiu no Indústria , Portuguese Ministério do Turismo, Comércio e Indústria , short: MTCI). In the V. and VI. Government , the ministries were reunited, with the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Environment in the VI. Government was subordinated to the Minister of State and Coordinator of Economic Affairs.

The VII Government again separated the Ministry of Development and Institutional Reforms ( tetum Ministériu Dezenvolvimentu no Reforma Institusionál , Portuguese Ministério do Desenvolvimento e da Reforma Institucional , short: MDRI) and the Ministry of Trade and Industry. In the eighth government , the ministries for the economic departments remained vacant due to the dispute with the president . The posts of Minister for Tourism, Trade and Industry and the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs ( tetum Ministru Koordenadór Asuntus Ekonómikus , Portuguese Ministro Coordenador dos Assuntos Económicos , short: MCAE) were held on a temporary basis until 2020 ministers were sworn in.
