Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

President Erdoğan’s recent signals of improvements for retirees have shifted attention to a package expected in January, with Social Security Institution (SGK) chief expert İsa Karakaş assessing the latest scenarios circulating in Ankara. The discussion centers on how much the lowest pension payments could rise, though the article does not specify a final percentage. The timing matters because any January adjustment would set the baseline for millions of Turkish pensioners in 2025. Karakaş’s comments are being treated as a guide to the likely shape of the government’s plan ahead of an official announcement.
