Bank promotions, which are an important gain for retirees and employees, have been implemented continuously since 2017. In July 2025, a 16.67% increase was made for SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees, and banks announced the promotion amounts valid until August 31, 2025, taking this increase into account.
HOW MUCH WILL THE JANUARY INCREASE BE?
The Central Bank's year-end inflation forecast is in the range of 25-29%. Accordingly, it is expected that retirees will receive an inflation difference between 7.14% and 10.57% in January 2026. It is also anticipated that the government's negotiations regarding additional increases will reflect on the promotion amounts.
