Elfried Hasler

Elfried Hasler (born 11 June 1965) is an economist and politician from Liechtenstein who served in the Landtag of Liechtenstein from 2013 to 2021. A member of the Progressive Citizens' Party (FBP), he also served as the party's president from 2013 to 2015.

Life Hasler was born on 11 June 1965 in Eschen as the son of farmer Gebhard Hasler and Melanie (née Oehri) as one of four children. He studied business administration, specializing in marketing, in St. Gallen before training further at AZEK in Zurich as a federally certified financial analyst and asset manager, and then as a federally certified financial and investment expert, graduating in 1993 and 1998 respectively.

He has worked at various banks as a financial advisor in Austria, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland since 2000, and was a member of the executive board of the National Bank of Liechtenstein from 2000 to 2011. Since 2013, he has also worked as a self-employed financial expert.

During his time in the Landtag, Hasler alongside government councillor Mauro Pedrazzini, was the subject of controversy in September 2015 when he publicly revealed that the president of the Liechtenstein medical association, Ruth Kranz, was being investigated for an economic efficiency review following the amendment of the Health Insurance Act. The other parties in the Landtag (Patriotic Union, The Independents, and Free List) criticized this, accusing the investigation as a "scheme" and "witch hunt". He did not seek re-election in the 2021 elections.

Personal life Hasler married Myriam Quaderer on 12 June 1992 and they have two children together. He lives in Gamprin.
