History

The Ministry of Economic Development was established in 1976 as the successor to the the Dept. of Economic Development (OIC 3199/1976). The functions of the ministry as set out in the Department of Economic Development Act (SBC 1974, c. 26) are broad based. This act states that this ministry is responsible for all matters relating to economic development that are not assigned to other government departments. These functions include the development of new export markets, servicing existing businesses, economic analysis and the collection and tabulation of statistical data in support of that analysis. The previous department was originally organized into several branches to carry out its work. These include the Business and Industrial Development Branch, Policy Planning and Research Branch, and Women's Economic Rights Branch. In 1978, the Program Implementation & Coordination Branch was also created.

In 1979, the ministry changed its name to the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Small Business Development when all functions relating to tourism and small businesses were transferred from the dissolved Ministry of Tourism and Small Business Development (OIC 2957/1979).
