Trader consensus on Polymarket prices a 34.5% implied probability for Japan Q1 2026 GDP growth of 0.6–0.8% quarter-on-quarter annualized, narrowly ahead of 0.9–1.1% at 28.4%, amid closely contested odds reflecting mixed high-frequency indicators. January industrial production surged 4.3% month-on-month, but February output fell 2.0% and retail sales dropped 0.2% year-on-year, signaling consumption weakness, while March manufacturing PMI eased to 51.6 from February's 53.0 amid external pressures. Positive business sentiment from the Q1 Tankan survey (large manufacturers at 17, beating estimates) and economist nowcasts around 1.3–1.5% (e.g., JCER ESP) provide counterbalance, with 19.5% odds on mild contraction highlighting downside risks from private demand. Key swing factors include upcoming Bank of Japan outlook revisions on April 28 and the May 19 preliminary GDP release.

The relevant figure may be found in the summary document, in table 1-2 ‘Quarterly Real Growth Rate (Original Series, Year-over-Year)’. Changes in the Japan Cabinet Office’s GDP reporting format will not disqualify a published figure from counting.
The GDP release will be made available here: https://www.esri.cao.go.jp/en/sna/sokuhou/sokuhou_top.html
If no data for the specified quarter is released by the date the next quarter's data is scheduled to be released, this market will resolve based on data from the last available quarter.
Note: the resolution source for this market reports Year-over-Year GDP growth rates to only one decimal point (e.g. 0.3%). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
Note: data from the initial release of the referenced GDP report is what will be used to resolve this market. Data may be revised during the following quarter or as a part of the next estimate's publication, however any revisions to GDP report data made after the initial release will not be considered for this market's resolution. For the full release schedule, see: https://www.esri.cao.go.jp/en/sna/kouhyou/kouhyou_top.html
