Ministry of Finance Establishment Act

Japanese: 大蔵省設置法 - おおくらしょうせっちほう
Ministry of Finance Establishment Act

…Though the Ministry of Finance played a central role in wartime finance, the administrative structure was simplified toward the end of the Pacific War, with departments being merged and the number of staff reduced. [Masako Sakamoto]
[current situation]
Before World War II, the Ministry of Finance was established by imperial decree under the Emperor's prerogative (Article 10 of the Meiji Constitution), but after the war it was established under the National Administrative Organization Act, and its organization and authority are stipulated in the Ministry of Finance Establishment Act (1949). As of 1997, the internal organization of the Ministry of Finance consists of one office and seven bureaus: the Minister's Secretariat, the Budget Bureau, the Tax Bureau, the Customs Bureau, the Financial Bureau, the Securities Bureau, the Banking Bureau, and the International Finance Bureau.
