Minister Göktaş says 19,166 young people received payments from the Family and Youth Fund
Minister Göktaş announced that 19,166 young people received 2.18 billion liras this month under the Family and Youth Fund. The credit support provided to 204,678 young people planning to marry has thus reached 18.974 billion liras.
Minister Göktaş announced that 19,166 young people received payments totaling 2.18 billion liras this month under the Family and Youth Fund. Göktaş said the fund had provided a total of 18.974 billion liras in credit support to 204,678 young people planning to marry.
In a written statement, Göktaş said the fund was financed by revenues from Türkiye's underground resources. She said the project was being implemented in all 81 provinces and noted that young people could apply through the relevant website or e-Government.
Credit amounts vary by age group
Göktaş said the credit amounts under the fund were updated in January and announced that couples would receive 250,000 liras if both applicants were between 18 and 25 years old. If the couples are between 26 and 29, the credit amount is set at 200,000 liras.
The credit provided to couples whose applications are approved is offered with a 48-month term and a two-year repayment-free period. Following an adjustment to the income requirement, the application criterion based on income over the previous six months was raised from 2.3 times the minimum wage to 2.5 times the minimum wage.
Repayment relief for couples with children
Göktaş said young couples who have a child within 48 months would also receive repayment relief. Repayments for 12 months are waived for the first child, while the remaining debt is deferred for 12 months.
If a second child is born during the period extended to 60 months through the deferral, the entire remaining debt is waived. A total of 17,853 couples with one child have qualified for deferral under the fund, while 302 couples with two or more children have benefited from the full waiver of their debt.
Applications reach 301,623
Göktaş said the Family and Youth Fund was launched in pilot provinces in 2024 and expanded nationwide in 2025, adding that the number of applications had reached 301,623.
Göktaş said 18,191 children had been born to 17,885 couples supported under the fund and noted that education and counseling services had so far supported 249,086 young people.
