History
Minister of Economy was a standardized position that was created along with Departments and Ministers on January 22, 2011. Before the rank of Minister of Economy, the economic-related affairs of the clan were managed solely by the Grand Elder.

On January 22, 2011, Sword KoA implemented the four original Departments within the clan, with the Economy Department being one of them. To become the new Minister of Economy, Sword nominated Zigman32, and Council appointed him as the first Minister of Economy on January 22. Because of Sword's inactivity, the clan's economy had taken a back seat at this time, so new management of the Economy Department was welcomed. Within the first several months of his time as Minister, Zig completely organized, revamped, and bettered the clan's economy. Zig made it so the Clan Bank was completely liquidated - it only dealt with money instead of various items. Also under Zig's time as Minister, the Economy Department introduced the concept of having clan lendables - high-price items that the clan would own and lend out to members to use. Additionally, Zig was Minister when the Clan Citadel update came out, which added a new facet to the Economy Department. After holding the position for almost an entire year, Zig stepped down from being Minister on January 16, 2012.

Zig's Subminister, Baba O Riley, was nominated by Sword to be appointed to Minister, and Council approved of the appointment on January 16.
