Adrian Hasler

Adrian Hasler (; born 11 February 1964) is an economist and politician from Liechtenstein who served as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein from 2013 to 2021. He previously served in the Landtag of Liechtenstein from 2001 to 2004.

Early life and career Born to Arthur and Liselotte Hasler, Adrian Hasler was raised in Vaduz, one of three sons. He earned his Matura, the general qualification for university entrance, in 1984 at the Liechtenstein secondary school in Vaduz. Subsequently, he started studying business administration with an area of expertise in finance and accounting at the University of St. Gallen, where he graduated in 1991.

Hasler worked as head of controlling in the business division Thin Films of Balzers AG. From 1996 until 2004, he was head of Group Finance and deputy-director of the Verwaltungs- und Privat-Bank in Vaduz. The 2013 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the FBP, and Hasler was appointed prime minister. He also occupied the roles of Minister of General Affairs and Finance. Near the end of Hasler's tenure, he was faced with the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic in Liechtenstein.

Starting from early 2018, Hasler and Landtag member Johannes Kaiser began publicity attacking each other, which led to Kaiser leaving the FBP. The resignation left the FBP and VU with an equal amount of seats in the Landtag and caused discussions around the coalition agreement, but ultimately the coalition agreement between the two parties remained unchanged. Kaiser served as an independent member of the Landtag until 27 November 2019 where, upon his own request, he was readmitted into the party. Kaiser apologised for his actions and referred to them as a "mistake", and the issue was concluded by him shaking hands with Hasler.

On 27 May 2020, Hasler announced that he would not run for re-election in the 2021 Liechtenstein general election. He was succeeded by his deputy Daniel Risch on 25 March 2021.

Later life Since 2021, Hasler has been a member of the board of directors at Swisspartners Group in Vaduz.

Personal life Hasler married Gudrun Elkuch (born 5 September 1973), a member of the Krisens Intervention Team in Liechtenstein, on 28 May 2003 and they have two children.
