Magdalena Katrine Anderssen Nordhaag (born 31 December 1960), usually known as Magda Anderssen, is a Wulffren Union Party politician serving as First Minister of Wulffmark since 2015. The second woman to hold the office, she has been a SF for Brorkkemouth County since 1999. Previously she was Minister for Local Government from 2006-2007 and Deputy Minister for Economics (2005-2006) in the premiership of Erik Dalholm.

Born in Brorkkemuhl, Anderssen was a financial researcher and consultant before entering politics. After holding roles at ExtraBank and Ruttgern-Wallen, she was elected to Brorkkemuhl City Council in 1993 after being made redundant from the latter. She lost re-election in 1997 and found work at Sandra Mobile, but was persuaded by her local Union Party contacts to stand for the Sturting. In 1999 election she was successfully elected for her then home district of Brorkkemouth County, a post she has held ever since.

After a backbench tenure on the Economics Committee from 1999 to 2003, she was appointed Deputy Minister for Economics in a 2005 Dalholm Cabinet reshuffle. In this role she assisted the 'light-touch' response to the ongoing recession credited with the later strong recovery. The following year she was made Minister for Local Government, during which she finalised local government reforms. She initially returned to the backbench after the government lost the 2007 election but was made spokesperson for Economics by Henrik Ulfstein and was widely expected as his choice for the role had he won the 2011 election. Anderssen succeeded him as faction leader after he chose not to stand for re-election, and in January 2015 was elected top candidate for First Minister in the 2015 election.

The brøsen (symbol Br, plural brøsor) is the national currency of Wulffmark. Introduced in 1922 to replace the former Wulffren krone, it is formally divided into 100 øre, although only 50ø coins are currently issued. It has been pegged to the Aininian louré at a central rate of 7.23Br since 1988.

Name

Originating from the word brøns (bronze), the name was historically colloquial for the lowest denominated bronze specie of the medieval Wulffren krone and its subunits. Although higher denominations were made from silver, gold and rarely platinum, only the bronze coins were typically seen by commoners making it the most publicly-recognised coin. Use of bronze spiece had ended by the late 17th century when the coins had been heavily debased with copper and other metals, although the phrase remained in common use for low denomination coins, which had retained the brown colouring. In the 18th century, the name was revived for small value deposit certificates.

The official name øre is derived from aurum, the latin for gold, although only early øre coins were minted from that.

History

Economics

Due to the impossible trinity, the Sturbank's targeting of exchange rates prevents it from targeting interest rates. Although capital controls have historically been imposed (as recently as XXXX), the Sturbank has never adopted interest rate targeting. Economists have noted that because of this Wulffren interbank rates have never deviated more than 179bp from Ainian benchmark rates.
