Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said the average monthly wage is set to reach one million forints.
During an interview with public radio on Friday, the prime minister said that it was "encouraging" that 4,000 teachers already earned more than that amount.
Deriding the "cynicism" of some Hungarians, he said: "The people who actually run the economy believe that we're at the point where serious things can get done" and "the economy will lift off".
PM Orbán said the economic data was improving in light of Donald Trump's election win, and an "era of peace" that would follow the war in Ukraine, which he said was in its final stages.
The prime minister said that in times of war economic players showed caution, but it would be possible to take risks and get businesses going again.
He said the "American tailwind" had started this process last year, and this year especially would "billow into Hungary's economic sails".
