The increase in pension has been announced: Here is the new amount!

Pension increase rates, eagerly awaited by millions of retirees, became clear with the December inflation data announced by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK). TurkStat announced December inflation as 1.03 percent on a monthly basis and 44.38 percent on an annual basis. In the light of this data, it has been confirmed that the salaries of SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees will be increased by 15.75 percent for 2025.

15.75 percent raise for SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees

The increase in pensions was determined according to the inflation difference of the last six months. With raises in June and January, retirees see their salaries increase twice during the year. In line with the inflation data announced by TÜİK, SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees will receive an increase of 15.75 percent within the scope of the January 2025 raise. Increased salaries are expected to be deposited into accounts this month.

Many retirees are wondering how much the minimum pension will be after the increase rates are announced.

The minimum pension, which was increased to 12,500 TL with the regulation made in July, may exceed 15 thousand TL with a new regulation to be made in January. In his recent statement, Minister of Labor and Social Security Vedat Işıkhan signaled that a study could be carried out by the Presidential Economy Coordination Board to increase the minimum pension.

It was announced that there will be an 11.54 percent increase for civil servants and civil servant retirees within the scope of the January 2025 raise. This rate will provide a significant increase in the salaries of public employees. Civil servants and retired civil servants will also receive their increased salaries in January.

Following the announcement of the raise rates, millions of retirees and public employees are waiting for their new salaries to be deposited into their accounts. Do you find these increases sufficient? You can share your opinions in the comments!
