History
The Ministry was previously renamed to the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment under John Magufuli, seemingly absorbing the investment role previously undertaken by the Prime Minister's Office for Investment and Empowerment. In January 2019, the Prime Minister's office reabsorbed the responsibility for investments with the appointment of Angellah Jasmine Kairuki{{cite web|url=https://www.thecitizen.co.tz/news/1840340-4926216-3scw11z/index.html|title=New investment docket announced as Magufuli makes mini reshuffle}} to the new role. Following this, the Ministry renamed back to Industry and Trade.
