MHP Konya MP Kalaycı calls for new regulation on minimum wage and retirement pension

MHP Deputy Chairman and Konya MP Mustafa Kalaycı called for new minimum wage and pension adjustments during the 2027 budget debates, urging that the minimum wage be raised above the hunger threshold, pension payments increased, and the BAĞ-KUR premium payment requirement cut to 7,200 days. The demands come from a coalition partner of the ruling AKP, signaling pressure on the government to expand social support in the upcoming budget. The specific figures at stake are the minimum wage level relative to the hunger threshold and the reduction of the BAĞ-KUR premium day count to 7,200 from its current level. Investors should watch the 2027 budget negotiations for whether these proposals are incorporated into fiscal plans, given their potential impact on wage costs and social security spending.
