Source-derived summary

The Ministry of Economy (Hebrew: משרד הכלכלה, romanized: Misrad HaKalkala) is a ministry of the Israeli government that oversees commerce, industry and labor in Israel.

History

The ministry was established in 1948 as the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. In 1977 the Tourism Ministry post was added to it, becoming the Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Tourism. However, the merger was reversed in 1981 and the office was renamed Ministry of Industry and Trade. Labor, which had been merged with the Welfare Ministry in the 1970s, was appended to the portfolio in 2003.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Ministry of Economy (Israel)” as israeli ministry. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1948, 1977, 1981, 2003—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—1949, 1948—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. The account is most persuasive where Ministry, Economy and Israel can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as israeli ministry. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2091487. VIAF identifies the subject as 33153237742829210653. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1948, 1977, 1981 and 2003.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
