Will retirees receive an additional 15 thousand TL raise in 2027? SGK Expert İsa Karakaş shared insider information

Social Security Institution (SGK) expert İsa Karakaş said parliamentary corridors are discussing an additional 10,000 to 15,000 Turkish lira raise for pensioners in January 2027, on top of the regular annual increase. He also flagged the possibility of a flat, across-the-board (seyyanen) supplement rather than a percentage-based hike. The figures are not yet official policy, making the size and structure of the top-up the key variable for pensioner incomes and for the budget cost of the program. What to watch next is whether the government formalizes the 10,000–15,000 lira range or opts for a flat payment in the 2027 budget and legislative calendar.
