Two formulas on the table for the retirement raise: November 27 detail for additional improvement

Turkey’s government has accelerated work on the January 2027 pension increase, weighing a welfare share and a flat-rate “seyyanen” top-up on top of the inflation adjustment due to SSK, Bağ-Kur and civil-servant retirees. The package is expected to reach the agenda after November 27, with the size of the inflation-based raise and the cost of the additional formulas still undetermined. The decision matters because it sets the income floor for millions of pensioners and will shape budget spending and consumption into 2027. What to watch next is whether the government publishes the November inflation data and finalizes the welfare-share and flat-increase parameters after that date.
