Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz told NTV that work on pension improvements was expected to be completed by year-end. He said a proposal would be submitted to parliament after budget deliberations and before the new year.

Work covers all pensioners

Yılmaz referred to an above-inflation increase and said different options were being considered for all pensioners. He did not announce a final percentage, minimum pension or individual net payment.

His remarks set out a preparation timetable rather than an enacted benefit. Details depend on the text and parliamentary process. Yılmaz said the intended effect would be felt from the beginning of next year.
