The Daniel Risch cabinet is the current chief executive body of Liechtenstein, being sworn in on 25 March 2021. It was appointed by Alois, Hereditary Prince of Liechtenstein and is chaired by Daniel Risch.
History
The 2021 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a virtual tie between the Patriotic Union and the Progressive Citizens' Party and Daniel Risch was appointed as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein on 25 March 2021, heading a new coalition government with the Progressive Citizens' Party.
During the government's term in office, in November 2022, the Landtag of Liechtenstein passed a motion calling on the government to introduce a bill legalizing same-sex marriage, with broad support from across the political spectrum. A bill legalizing same-sex marriage was introduced in February 2024 and passed its final reading in the Landtag on 16 May 2024 by a 24–1 vote.
In addition, the government oversaw Liechtenstein's accession to the International Monetary Fund, and started the proceedings for it in 2024. Liechtenstein joined the IMF on 21 October 2024. This came after a successful referendum was held the previous month.
On 19 February 2024 Risch declared his intention to not run for re-election.
