Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Fisheries (2014–)
Established: 1. January 2014
The Ministry is responsible for the industry, commerce and ocean policy.
On 1 January 2014, the Ministry of Trade and Industry had its name changed to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries. Fisheries affairs were transferred to an additional minister in the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries from the abolished Ministry of Fisheries and Coastal Affairs.
On 17 August 2026, the English name of the ministry was changed from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries to the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Fisheries. The change reflected a new division of responsibilities between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Fisheries.
