[edit] History
The office was first organized by a Presidential Decree on June 2, 1817, by Supreme Director Bernardo O'Higgins, which at that time was named "Secretariat of Finance" (1818 - 1824). The present structure, duties and attributions were defined by Presidential Decree N° 7912, "General Law of Ministries", on November 30, 1927.
