Investing.com -- Turkey’s net monthly minimum wage will increase to 28,075 Turkish lira ($655.53) in 2026, representing a 27% rise from 2025 levels, Labour Minister Vedat Isikhan announced Tuesday.
The wage hike will affect approximately 9 million workers across the country. The minimum wage is widely regarded as a benchmark for private sector salary increases throughout Turkey.
Economists suggest this substantial increase could put upward pressure on inflation in the coming months. The minimum wage serves as an important economic indicator in Turkey, influencing broader wage trends across various industries.
The announcement comes as part of the government’s annual minimum wage adjustment process, which aims to address living costs for workers.
