The minimum wages are currently set at 138,000 and 180,500 forints, respectively.
A minimum wage of 321,000 forints for tertiary education graduates should be introduced, SZEF head András Földiák said at a press conference on Wednesday.
The total estimated cost of all the hikes would amount to169 billion (EUR 520m) forints.
