Katılım Emeklilik Exceeded 50 Billion TL
in Fund Size

The Individual Pension System in Türkiye is expanding rap-
idly, offering individuals opportunities to secure their finan-

Pension Monitoring Center (EGM), the Individual Pension
System (BES) in Türkiye continues its strong growth trend

TL, while the number of participants has risen to 9.9 million
and the number of contracts to 12.3 million. These figures
show that BES has become not only a system that secures
individuals’ futures but also one of Türkiye’s largest savings
platforms.

year demonstrates that the system is growing faster than
