So, what is the amount of this three-month inflation difference? How will the salary increase for civil servants and pensioners be determined based on the inflation difference for the year 2025?
According to the data shared by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK), inflation was announced as 2.47% on a monthly basis in August. With the inflation data for September becoming clear, the 3-month inflation difference, which is decisive for the salary increase of civil servants and retirees, has also been determined.
