Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Tuesday introduced a forty five% wage hike for 700,00 public staff, elevating the minimal month-to-month public employee wage to fifteen,000 Turkish liras ($768).
“Within the framework of this collective bargaining agreement, we are raising wages by 45%, including the welfare share, thus increasing the minimum wage of public workers to 15,000 liras,” Erdoğan stated within the capital Ankara.
Erdoğan added that Türkiye will proceed to work on minimal wage raises for civil servants and climbing pensions.
“In July, we have preparations based on the inflation difference and welfare share,” he added.
