The Turkish president promised to raise the wages of employees and retirees to counter the rise in international prices.

Erdogan pledged to increase the wages of workers next year, based on the figures reached by the Turkish economy, in order to achieve justice for them.

He said, “We continue to implement our economic program to stop the rise in prices on the one hand and increase the wages of all categories on the other hand.”

He stressed that Turkey has become a sovereign state that determines its political and security priorities, and it has become a strong state that develops and implements its economic and social programs.

On the other hand, the Turkish President announced that in the government meeting, they decided that all state institutions should adopt the name “Türkiye” in their correspondence instead of “Turkey” (in foreign languages).
