Anne Marie Wibble (née Ohlin; 13 October 1943 – 14 March 2000) was a Swedish politician who served as Minister for Finance from 1991 to 1994, the first woman to hold the post.[1] She was a member of the Liberal People's Party. She was the daughter of Bertil Ohlin, a 1977 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences laureate.[2]
Education
[edit]Wibble graduated from the Stockholm School of Economics in 1966, then studied at Stanford University where she took an M.A. degree in 1967. In 1973 she took a licentiate degree in economics at the Stockholm School of Economics, where she also was a teacher from 1967 to 1977.[1]
Political career
[edit]Wibble worked for the Liberal People's Party in the Swedish government offices and the Swedish parliament from 1980 to 1986. She was a member of parliament from the 1985 election. In the 1991 election, a centre-right coalition won and Wibble was appointed Minister of Finance in the Bildt Cabinet.[1] She stayed in office to the 1994 election, which the government lost. Wibble returned to parliament, and ran for party leader in 1995, but lost to Maria Leissner. She remained a member of parliament until the end of 1997, after which she became the chief economist of the Federation of Swedish Industry.
She died from cancer in 2000.[2]
