# Finance Ministers of Somalia, 1956 to 2026 > Every holder of the office, with dates and a source on each row: Salad Abdi Mohamed, Osman Ahmed Roble, Abdulkadir Mohamed Aden, Awil Haji Abdullahi Farah, Ali Omar Shego, Sufi Omar Mohamed and others. Source page: https://calankii.com/en/institutions/finance-ministers-of-somalia/ Last checked: 2026-11-12 Publisher: Calankii (https://calankii.com) ## In short The list follows the list of ministers in the Wikipedia article on the Ministry of Finance, which draws on [Mohamed Haji Mukhtar](/en/people/mohamed-haji-mukhtar/)'s Historical Dictionary of Somalia for the years to 1991. Exact dates come from the position-held records in Wikidata where they exist. Where the two sources disagree, both are shown and the note says so. The sources list no finance minister for 1991 to 2000. ([Wikipedia, Ministry of Finance (Somalia)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Finance_%28Somalia%29), [Wikidata, position-held records](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q107710013)) Each row below gives the holder's name in English and Somali spelling, dates in office and the source for that row. Dates are from [Wikipedia, Ministry of Finance (Somalia)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Finance_%28Somalia%29), [Wikidata, position-held records](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q107710013); where sources give different dates, the note says so.
