Retirement Bonus in Jeopardy: Millions Await Decision in Beştepe – Breaking News
Arda Erdoğan’s notes on the cabinet meeting
During a recent cabinet meeting, multiple important topics were discussed, ranging from economic to diplomatic issues. One of the hot topics on the agenda was the potential increase in bonuses for retirees. Last year, a 50 percent hike was implemented, bringing the retired bonus up to 3 thousand pounds. Labor and Social Security Minister Vedat Işıkhan indicated that work is being done on increasing the feast bonus for retirees, signaling that a raise may be imminent. Budget considerations are being taken into account, and the possibility of boosting retiree bonuses is under serious consideration.
As the month of Ramadan approaches, the government is also looking into tightening label inspections and implementing controls on exorbitant prices and stocking. These measures aim to prevent any manipulative price movements during Ramadan. Both the Ministry of Treasury and Finance and the Ministry of Trade are working together to ensure fair pricing practices and prevent any exploitation of consumers.
In terms of diplomacy, President Erdoğan recently met with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, discussing potential steps to promote peace in the Ukraine-Russian war. Turkey’s role in mediating the conflict and potentially hosting negotiations will be key topics of discussion in the cabinet meeting. Furthermore, developments in Syria, including reconstruction efforts and the situation in Gaza, will also be addressed.
President Erdoğan is expected to announce any decisions made during the cabinet meeting to the public at 19:00. The outcome of these discussions will have significant implications for both the economic and diplomatic landscape in Turkey.
