Will civil servants and retirees receive a welfare share?

After the minimum wage has been finalized, the focus has now shifted to the salary increases for civil servants and retirees for the year 2025. One of the most curious topics during the increase process is the rate of the raise, and the other is the welfare share. We asked an expert about the welfare share that millions of civil servants and retirees are looking forward to due to high inflation.

Prof. Dr. Ferhat Pehlivanoğlu, a faculty member at Kocaeli University, was a guest of presenter Abdurrahman Yazıcı on Haberler.com. When Yazıcı asked, "Will civil servants and retirees receive a welfare share?" Prof. Dr. Pehlivanoğlu pointed to the budget. The expert stated that the welfare share is necessary for civil servants and retirees and continued his speech as follows:

The welfare share is an additional payment given to employees who are suffering due to fluctuations in the exchange rate and the increase in prices and inflation, despite receiving raises according to the inflation rate. It means that employees should receive a larger share of economic growth. If sufficient resources are provided, it should certainly be implemented. The welfare share should be given to all retirees and civil servants.
