What is the discrepancy between the government's minimum wage increase and the actual inflation rate, and what are the immediate consequences for Turkish workers?

Turkey's minimum wage was raised to 22,104 lira in 2025, a 30.01% increase from the 17,002 lira set in early 2024. This affects roughly 7 million minimum wage earners and indirectly impacts the remaining 13.5 million wage earners in the country. The increase, however, fails to meet the cost of living.
