As 2024 comes to an end, raises for pensions, civil servant salaries, and the minimum wage are on the agenda. Currently, the lowest pension is 12,500 liras.

SSK AND BAĞ-KUR PENSIONERS
Chief SGK Specialist and Türkiye newspaper columnist İsa Karakaş stated that the Central Bank's year-end inflation forecast of 44 percent will most likely not be met. Karakaş said the following:
"Year-end inflation could reach at least 45 percent. My projection for SSK and Bağ-Kur pensioners is that there will be a raise of at least around 16-17 percent.

CIVIL SERVANTS AND CIVIL SERVANT PENSIONERS
The situation for civil servants and civil servant pensioners is extremely dire. There is a grievance arising from the collective bargaining agreement. While a raise of around 16-17 percent is expected for SSK and Bağ-Kur pensioners, a raise of around 11-12 percent at most will be in question for civil servants and civil servant pensioners.
Civil servant pensioners will receive 5 percent less of a raise than SSK and Bağ-Kur pensioners. Thus, they will be crushed by inflation.

'WELFARE SHARE IS UNLIKELY, EQUALIZATION MAY OCCUR'
I do not think a welfare share will be granted at the end of this year. An equalization between civil servants and civil servant pensioners and SSK and Bağ-Kur pensioners may be in question. An equalization may be in question to address the resentment of civil servant pensioners.

HOW MUCH WILL THE LOWEST PENSION BE?
12,500 liras is a very low wage. Today, we all know that when you go to the market, the market expenses for 4 weeks are 4-5 thousand liras. I am only talking about market expenses. My expectation is that the lowest pension will be increased to 15,000 liras. 15,000 liras is the threshold figure. I do not think it will go above that.
