Under the '' Ancien Régime '', finance was in the charge of the Controller-General of Finance, one of the most important positions in the French government. Occasionally, the ''de facto'' Minister of Finance served instead as '''President of the Royal Council of Finance''', who was superior to a mere Controller-General, or, in the case of Jacques Necker , who, as a Protestant , could not serve as Controller-General, as '''General Director of Finances''', a less prominent position. In 1791 , this complexity was removed by the French revolutionary government, which established the position of '''Minister of Finance'''. The position, along with all other ministerial positions, was abolished in 1794 , but restored with the advent of the Directory in 1795 .
