Selected
at the Ministry [of Economy]
Unless it's clear from the context, you would have to add "of Economy." "Ministry of Economy," with 1,390,000 references, is 5 times more common that Ministry of Economics (255,000 references). The Ministry's mission is to steer the national economy. "Ministry of Economics" would mean that it's responsible for the discipline of economics.

Comment: "Thanks Mureil and everyone. In reading my text again, it wasn't really clear that "Ministry" alone would be understood. I appreciate all the help :-)"

If the target text is for an American client, I would use "Department", the term used in the US. Ministry may be used, too.
