The Ministry of Economy, Culture and Innovation (Albanian: Ministria e Ekonomisë, Kulturës dhe Inovacionit) is a department of the Albanian Government responsible for the implementation of economic, cultural affairs and innovation. Blendi Gonxhja is the minister serving since January 2024.

History

Since the establishment of the institution, the Ministry of Culture 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 Culture, Youth and Sports (Ministria e Kulturës, Rinisë dhe Sporteve) from 1992 to 1996
  • Ministry of Culture, Youth and Women (Ministria e Kulturës, Rinisë dhe Gruas) from 1996 to 1997
  • Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports (Ministria e Kulturës, Rinisë dhe Sporteve) from 1997 to 2005
  • Ministry of Tourism, Culture, Youth and Sports (Ministria e Turizmit, Kulturës, Rinisë dhe Sporteve) from 2005 to 2013
  • Ministry of Culture (Ministria e Kulturës) from 2013 - 2024.
  • Ministry of Economy, Culture and Innovation from 2024 - current.

Notes

  • 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.
