SGK (Social Security Institution) expert İsa Karakaş evaluated the increase rates to be applied to SSK and Bağ-Kur pensioners, as well as civil servants and civil servant pensioners, in January, in line with year-end inflation forecasts. Calling on citizens considering submitting their retirement applications not to rush, Karakaş stated that there will not be significant loss of rights in the transition to next year, as has been claimed.
With the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) announcing the July inflation data, the first figure in the January 2027 salary increase marathon has become clear. SGK (Social Security Institution) expert İsa Karakaş explained the proposed increase rates for SSK, Bağ-Kur, and civil servant pensioners, while also responding to claims that "you will lose money if you don't retire in 2026."
Following the inflation forecasts from the Central Bank and Market Participants Survey, the January 2027 salary increase rates for civil servants and pensioners have taken shape. According to the new scenarios, while SSK and Bağ-Kur pension increases are expected to surpass those of civil servants, the lowest civil servant salary is calculated to reach 75,744 TL, and the lowest pension is projected to reach 25,886 TL.
Calculations for the salary increase that civil servants and pensioners will receive in January 2027 have already begun. Speaking on A Haber's live broadcast, Takvim Newspaper's Editor-in-Chief Faruk Erdem explained two different salary increase scenarios, based on the Central Bank's year-end inflation forecast and a market participant survey.
While millions of pensioners were disappointed by the increase in July, SGK (Social Security Institution) expert Karakaş announced his prediction for the increase to be made in January 2027.
Muhittin Avşar, the founding president of the Civil Servants' Retirees Association, assessed the current legal status of the "flat-rate salary increase" crisis that was given to civil servants in 2023 but not reflected in retirees' pensions.
