- Ministry of Environment, Public Works and Regional Development (2001–2004)
- Ministry of Industry and Infrastructure (2004–2008)
- Ministry of Construction and Regional Development (2008–2011)
- Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development (2021–present){{Cite web|title={{!}} Government of Republic of Moldova|url=https://gov.md/en/content/moldovan-cabinet-approves-reorganisation-four-ministries|access-date=2021-08-26|website=gov.md}}
In 2017 as part of the government reform in Moldova, the Ministry of Economy was renamed to Ministry of Economy and Infrastructure, absorbing the Ministry of Transport and Roads Infrastructure, and the Ministry of Informational Technologies and Communications, becoming their legal successor.[http://lex.justice.md/index.php?action=view&view=doc&lang=1&id=370968 HOTĂRÎRE Nr. 594 din 26.07.2017 cu privire la restructurarea administrației publice centrale de specialitate] Also this ministry took the domain of constructions from the former Minister of Construction and Regional Development.
