The Ministry of Finance and Prices (Spanish: Ministerio de Finanzas y Precios, MFP) of Cuba is responsible for managing the public finances of Cuba, including budget, tax, treasury, price and public credit policies.^[1]

History

The organization was called Ministry of Finance from 1902 to 1965. Between 1965 and 1976, the ministry was abolished and its functions passed to the Central Bank of Cuba. Between 1976 and 1994, these functions were transferred to the State Finance Committee. Finally, in 1994, the State Finance Committee merged with the State Price Committee to form the current Ministry of Finance and Prices.
