They were rebranded as the Economy Directorates in July 2016, having previously been reorganised in December 2010 and then in June 2014.
However, the activities of the Directorates include those under the purview of the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Shona Robison MSP, the Cabinet Secretary for Wellbeing Economy, Fair Work and Energy, Mairi McAllan MSP and the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Fiona Hyslop MSP.
The overarching Scottish Government Directorates were preceded by similar structures called "Departments" that no longer exist (although the word is still sometimes erroneously used in this context).
Prior to 2007, the work had been carried out by the old Scottish Executive Environment and Rural Affairs Department (SEERAD).
