In Turkey, individuals enrolled in the Private Pension System (BES) can now withdraw up to 50% of their accumulated savings without terminating their contracts in the event of marriage, home purchases, or natural disasters. To qualify for partial withdrawals related to marriage or home acquisition, participants must have maintained their BES account for a minimum of five years and contributed at least five times the gross minimum wage to their savings. In cases of natural disasters, there are no time or contribution requirements, allowing for immediate access to funds. For further details regarding these provisions, individuals can consult the website of the Retirement Monitoring Center.
