Yes, this is correct. In some contries they have a Ministry of Finance and Economy. For example here in Portugal they are 2 separate ministries. Hugs Carlos |

In Canada, it is as you say "the Ministry of Finance". I don �t know about other countries though.

It depends what you are translating. If in Canada, where we just call it the Ministry of Finance, I �d not use "Economics and Finance Ministry". However, if in Uruguay you call it that, then I see no problem with using it.

I have never heard of an Economics Ministry. Usually this is called Commerce Ministry (Ministry of Economy or Economic Affairs also seems to exist). There �s also the Finance Ministry as Zora pointed out. In most countries these are two separate entities.
If there is really only one, I �d call it Commerce and Finance Ministry. Another option could be Ministry of Economy and Finance.

Hi Alicia
If you look at this web page you �ll see the names of countries (and there are plenty) with ministries containing the words economy and finance including your country. Their translation is Ministry of Economy and Finance.
Cheers
