Polymarket traders price a tight race for Japan Q1 2026 GDP growth, with 0.6–0.8% (42%) edging ≤-0.4% (36%), reflecting uncertainty over domestic demand amid the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) cautious normalization path. Q3 2024 GDP contracted 0.7% annualized due to Typhoon Shanshan disruptions and weak private consumption, despite real wage gains from shunto negotiations; November core CPI held at 2.5% while retail sales lagged. Differentiating factors include potential Q4 rebound from exports and capex—bolstered by December Tankan optimism—but headwinds from yen volatility post-U.S. election and housing starts at multi-decade lows. Consensus forecasts hover near 0.5%, with traders eyeing January 2025 Tankan and February Q4 GDP release for resolution signals.

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
