Expectations Approximately 17 million retirees are anticipating an increase in the holiday allowance for Ramadan and Kurban from 4,000 to 5–6,000 Turkish lira.
Legal Process The government is expediting the legal framework for the raise.
The bill is slated to pass the TBMM General Assembly and be finalized at least four to five days before the holiday.
Once approved, the new amount will be announced to the public.
Economic Factors The final figure will be determined by inflation data and the state of public finances.
In 2025 the allowance was 4,000 lira; this year’s options include 5,000, 5,500, or 6,000 lira.
Future Scenarios Economists are basing the new amount on past increases, current inflation rates, and overall economic balance.
They emphasize the need for a swift process so that payments reach retirees’ accounts before the holiday.
After TBMM approval, the new amount will be transferred to bank accounts in line with the Ramadan calendar.
Retirees remain hopeful that the expected increase will ease their financial burdens.
