History
[edit]Since the establishment of the institution, the Ministry of Economy has been reorganized by joining other departments or merging with other ministries, thus making its name change several times. This list reflects the changes made in years in pluralist history since 1992 as an institution:
- Ministry of Economy, Trade and Energy (Ministria e Ekonomisë, Tregtisë dhe Energjetikës ) from 2005 to 2013
- Ministry of Economic Development, Tourism, Trade and Enterprise (Ministria e Zhvillimit Ekonomik, Turizmit, Tregtisë dhe Sipërmarrjes) from 2013 to 2017

Notes
[edit]- The title "Substitutive" (gheg albanian: Zavëndësisht), often using the acronym "Zav.", references to the temporary exercise of duty by an official who was not formally appointed by the prime minister but occupied the interim role of the vacant minister. These officials are labeled in the list with an asterisk.
