History edit

The ministry began in 1948 as the Ministry of Commerce during the First Republic. In 1993, it was merged with the Ministry of Energy, established in 1977. A year later the ministry changed its name to Ministry of Trade and Energy.[1]

In 1998, it transferred trade negotiation duties to the foreign ministry changing its name to Ministry of Industry and Energy. In 2008, it was restructured into Ministry of Knowledge Economy following newly elected president Lee Myung-bak's cabinet reorganization. In 2013, following President Park Geun-hye's cabinet reorganisation the ministry was restructured into the current form bringing back trade negotiation duties from the foreign ministry. In 2017, it delegated duties related to SMEs to newly created Ministry of SMEs and Startups under President Moon Jae-in.[2] In 2018, it added the third vice ministerial role for energy policies in addition to existing trade minister and vice minister (now 1st vice minister).[3]

Headquarters edit

The headquarters are located in the Sejong Regional Government Complex in Sejong City.[4] The headquarters were formerly located in the Gwacheon Government Complex in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi Province.[5]
