As far as I know, speaking as an economics student, economics programs normally offer no finance courses except for microeconomics theory and monetary economics.
[I disagree with this assumption, and thus all the conclusions based on that.]
this is simple not true for many economics master. Let me name a few pair of examples:
(most school have monetary econ, which i dont really consider it as finance (asset pricing & corporate finance), i am not going to list that.)
Toronto vs UBC MA Econ:
You can have Financial Econ I and II, seems also Financial Econometrics in Toronto, but not such choice in UBC econ (since the research interest of faculty)
LSE vs UCL MS Econ:
you can take Asset market and corporate fina as core electives, while you dont have much choice in finance in UCL.
Oxford MPhil Econ:
You can take Financial Economics 1 and 2, (and adv econometrics 1 and 2) as elective in their 2nd year
Cambridge MPhil Econ:
you have things like Corporate Finance, Asset Pricing, Empirical Finance as elective modules.
Tinbergen, CEMFI MPhil:
I guess I can skip that. bascially it is a MPhil in Econ and Fina, you have everything there.
I can name a lot more........e.g. even TSE can have asset pricing and empirical fina as elective (just they are not strong in that relatively), Bonn, Goethe, HSG, NYU MA Econ (is applied somehow, but there are quite some courses and researcher that doing financial economics), ......ai......i am not going to name further more as I have things to do.......
What i can say is: don't draw conclusion based on one (own) school's structure.
As I said, if you want to do finance PhD after economics master, you have to go to the right school (just like who is interested in any sub-field of econ). As far as my research about the econ master structure tells me, there are approximate around half of them allowing so. And according to the result of my global research on the structure of a master in financial mathematics and/or statistics, nearly none of them will teach any amount micro econ theory and asset pricing (being too theoretical for QF, irrelevant for Stat).
(If you are talking about a bachelor in economics, that another story. Bachelor is much longer, and one can afford to have both math/stat and econ. just take both, done.)
Concerning difficulties.......well:
1. mathematical difficulties is not the only thing. It is important, but knowing about the research (you are interested in) maybe even more. else they just take all student from a pure math / theoretical phy program
2. thats why things like quantitative econ and econometrics are viewed as the best for PhD preparation in econ and fina. You know the econ theory behind, you get rigorous training in mathematical modeling and statistics. It is difficult enough, while being in the field at the same time. A good balance between both.

To compensate for the lack of background in finance, minoring in finance is a good choice; or a bachelor degree in finance is also good enough.
I will say this is quite a........horrible advise.
Bachelor有時間的, double major math/stat + econ更好, 用不著浪費時間minor finance. 要不也就是一個intro to corp fina (IRR, NPV那堆), 再加一個investment and portfolio management的course 就搞定(bodie).
其他的水課選來是浪費生命. 其實照我說這兩三門(maybe another one in financial acconting)也不一定用得著: bachelor自選考CFA lv 1 就是了.
a bachelor in finance alone 就更加慘烈: 很多時候連intermediate micro, macro, time series之類都沒有, 別說academic master in stat / master in econ, 連research master in finance都申不了..........
你這是坑人的嗎....?
