Ministry of Entrepreneurship, Microenterprise and Small Business

The Ministry of Entrepreneurship, Microenterprise and Small Business (Portuguese: Ministério do Empreendedorismo, da Microempresa e da Empresa de Pequeno Porte) is a cabinet-level federal ministry in Brazil. It is an institution previously created in 2013 as the Secretariat of Micro and Small Business of the Presidency (Portuguese: Secretaria da Micro e Pequena Empresa da Presidência da República), a cabinet-level secretariat under the responsibility of the Presidency of the Republic from 2013 to 2015.[1][2] It was dissolved after a ministry shuffle in October 2015.[3] Since then, it became part of the Secretariat of Government of the Presidency, without a ministry status. On 1 January 2019, its functions were merged into the recently created Ministry of the Economy. On 13 September 2023, it was recreated as a ministry.[4]
