Enflasyon Rakamları Belli Oldu: Emekli ve Asgari Ücret Zam Oranları
OVP’YE GÖRE 6 AYLIK ENFLASYON YÜZDE 38
Millions of people are eagerly awaiting the increase in retirement and minimum wage, and the inflation numbers for the new year are starting to become clear.
After the decision to give a one-time bonus of 5 thousand liras to non-working retirees, attention turned to the increase in January for retirees and minimum wage earners. Inflation holds critical importance for the increase of both groups. The end-of-year inflation estimate in the Medium-Term Program, where Turkey’s three-year roadmap for the economy is determined, is 65 percent. According to this figure, the 6-month inflation is expected to be 38 percent.
YÜZDE 25 INCREASE BASED ON 3-MONTH INFLATION
Based on the inflation during July, August, and September, retirees will receive a 25% increase. It is expected that this rate will increase even further to reach the 40% range with the inflation figures for October, November, and December.
POSSIBILITY OF A 50% INCREASE
By adding the welfare increase to both calculations, it is expected that the retiree increase will reach 50 percent. This ratio is also being considered as a reference for the minimum wage increase. Therefore, both retirees and minimum wage earners can expect a 50 percent increase in January.
WHAT WILL BE THE MINIMUM WAGE AND THE LOWEST RETIREE PENSION?
With a 50 percent increase for both groups in 2024, there will be a significant rise in salaries. Accordingly, the lowest SSI and Bağ-Kur retiree pensions will increase from 7,500 liras to 11,250 liras.
HOW MUCH WILL THE MINIMUM WAGE BE?
The minimum wage, on the other hand, will increase from 11,402 liras to 17,103 liras.
