Turkey 2027 budget proposal forecasts 27.3 trillion lira in expenditures
The Turkish government has submitted its 2027 Central Government Budget Law Proposal to the Grand National Assembly. The proposal forecasts 27.3 trillion lira in expenditures against 23.4 trillion lira in revenue, resulting in a projected deficit of 3.9 trillion lira.
Key allocations include 6.3 trillion lira for public institution employees, with the Ministry of National Education receiving the largest share at 1.8 trillion lira. Interest expenses are expected to reach 3.98 trillion lira, representing approximately 14.6 percent of the total budget. Additionally, budget transfers to the Social Security Institution (SGK) are projected to increase by 66 percent.
Regarding wages, the budget allocates 1.46 trillion lira for the minimum wage tax exemption. While no official increase has been decided, a 33.7 percent increase in the tax exemption budget suggests potential scenarios where the net minimum wage could exceed 37,000 lira. For civil servants, standard hourly overtime pay is set to rise from 16.55 lira to 19.85 lira starting January 1, 2027.
Other significant components include 143.7 billion lira in projected revenue from real estate sales and rentals, and increased funding for urban transformation and social housing projects. The budget also outlines plans for Hazine (Treasury) lands to be leased to farmers for up to 10 years to support agricultural production.
