The story
The Ministry of Finance, Trading and Industry was established on 11 November 1918. Its first minister was a prominent Lithuanian lawyer and public figure Martynas Yčas (1885–1941). For a brief period, between 25 December 1918 and 17 December 1919, there was a separate Ministry of Trading and Industry which is seen as a predecessor of the contemporary Ministry of Economy and Innovation.
