THE 5.56 PERCENT INFLATION DIFFERENCE FOR THE FIRST 3 MONTHS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED
According to official data announced by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK), the consumer price index increased by 5.56 percent in the 3-month period covering July, August, and September. With this development, pensioners have already pocketed the right to a 3-month increase following the increase in the first half of the year.
ACCORDING TO MARKET EXPECTATIONS, THE 6-MONTH INCREASE RATE IS 11.11 PERCENT
Expectations for the remaining October, November, and December were shaped by the Central Bank Market Participants Survey. With the year-end consumer inflation expectation announced as 29.63 percent, it was calculated that the total 6-month inflation rate covering the July-December period would be 11.11 percent.
THE MINIMUM PENSION SALARY CALCULATION IS CHANGING
In line with market expectations, if the increase rate materializes at 11.11 percent, this increase will also be directly reflected in the base salary. The minimum pension salary, currently applied as 23,552 TL, will rise by 2,616 TL with the 11.11 percent increase and reach 26,168 TL. The final decision regarding the legal regulation on the matter and the base salary threshold will become clear with the announcement of December inflation data.
