List of ministers of economy and the treasury of Spain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of ministers of finance or treasury of Spain.

Introduction

Before 1705, it existed the position of Superintendent General of Finance. It wasn't exactly a finance minister, as there were other superintendents general, but while the former had a general role, the others administered specific taxes (tobacco, salt, mail, etc.).

Under the first Bourbons, the superintendent general had to coexist with other finance positions, such as the Veedor General or the Universal Intendant, but from 1720 the Secretary of Finance was, at the same time, the Superintendent General of Finance. This last position fell into disuse in the 19th century.

In recent times, there has been the position of Minister of Economy which, occasionally, has been merged with that of Minister of Finance (from 1937 to 1939, from 1982 to 2000 and from 2004 to 2011).

Notes

  1. [a]
    The "strong man" at court during the last years of the reign of Charles II was Manuel Joaquín Álvarez de Toledo, Count of Oropesa.
  2. [b]
    This is a conjecture.
