Today’s Cabinet Meeting to Focus on Economic Matters
The cabinet meeting with a busy agenda is set to take place after a month-long break, chaired by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The meeting, scheduled to be held in Beştepe, will cover various important topics including economic headlines, counter-terrorism operations, the 9th Judiciary Package, and recent developments both domestically and internationally.
One of the key points of discussion at the meeting will be the economy, particularly the June inflation rate which will determine the salary increases for civil servants and retirees in the second half of the year. Approximately 16 million civil servants as well as SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees will be affected by these raise rates. In addition, savings measures, adjustments to the lowest retirement pension, the new tax draft, and strategies to combat inflation will also be on the agenda.
Counter-terrorism operations will be another crucial topic of discussion during the cabinet meeting. The latest status of the 9th Judiciary Package, regional developments, and Israel’s attacks on Gaza will be thoroughly reviewed, along with efforts towards achieving a ceasefire.
Looking ahead to the month of July, President Erdogan is expected to engage in heavy diploma traffic with visits planned to Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and the United States. The relevant ministers will present their work on the anticipated topics of discussion during these visits to the cabinet.
Furthermore, the recent appointments of Murat Kurum to the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change, and Professor Doctor Kemal Memişoğlu to the Ministry of Health will also be acknowledged as they attend the upcoming cabinet meeting. Stay tuned for more updates on these crucial matters as they unfold in the coming days.
