Our 2025 budget is a budget that allocates resources to a comprehensive social support system and considers every segment of society. We continue our social assistance with a broad perspective, from our disabled brothers and sisters to our elders over 65, from those without social security to preserving family unity and supporting low-income families.

651 BILLION LIRA ALLOCATED FOR SOCIAL ASSISTANCE EXPENDITURES

In the statement, it was noted that the allocated resource for social assistance expenditures in 2025 has been increased to 651 billion lira, and it was recorded that social assistance expenditures, which were 0.4% of national income in 2002, have risen to 1.1% in 2025. It was also emphasized in the statement that news deliberately spread to create public perception without verification should not be trusted, and it is of great importance for citizens to be more cautious against intentional and misleading news.
