Ministry of Economy and Finance (Spain)
The Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEH) was a ministerial department in the Government of Spain that merged the traditional ministries of Finance and Economy, with competences on economic affairs, public finance and budgets. It was established on two occasions: the first time during the premierships of Felipe González (1982–1996) and the first term of José María Aznar (1996–2000), and the second time during the premiership of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero (2004–2011).

Due to its size and the vast amount of competences on economic and finance affairs under its control, it has been often dubbed as a "superministry".[1][2][3][4]
