Pr NuderPr Nuder (born February 27, 1963) is a Swedish Social Democratic politician. He is the current Minister of Finance (from November 1, 2004). Pr Nuder was born in Tby north of Stockholm, but grew up in sterker, where he still resides. He has a Bachelor of Laws degree from Stockholm University. His political path started in the local Swedish Social Democratic Youth League club. From 1986 to 1989 he was the chairman of the Stockholm County branch of the organisation and from 1987 to 1990 he was a member of the national board. At the same time he was a member of the sterker Municipal Executive Committe, from 1982 to 1994. In 1986 he started his career as a political adviser, first to the Minister for Justice and later to the Prime Minister, first to Ingvar Carlsson and later to his successor, Gran Persson. For a few years he also worked as a political secretary to the Social Democratic parliamentary party group. In 1994 he was elected a Member of Parliament. In 1997 he was offered the position of State Secretary in the Prime Minister's Office. Although he was more or less unknown to the general public at the time, he was generally believed to be Gran Persson's close ally and one of his personal favourites to succed him as party leader and Prime Minister. This impression was further strengthened by Persson's move to let Nuder join his Cabinet as Minister for Policy Coordination in 2002, an influential behind-the-scenes post. When Marita Ulvskog stepped down as Minister for Culture in September 2004 he took over the portfolio, although it was explicitly stated that this was not a long-term solution. The Prime Minister's intentions instead became public on October 21, 2004, when Gran Persson announced a restructuring of his government in which Pr Nuder was to take over as Minister of Finance after Bosse Ringholm. Responding to media questions on whether his plan was to be the next Prime Minister, he simply answered that he did not "think about it" and was concentrating on his tasks as Minister of Finance. He also restated the government's goal to get the rate of open unemploymend below four percent again.
