Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects a razor-thin split, with 42% implied probability for -0.3% to -0.1% Q1 2026 GDP growth versus 41% for 1.2% or higher, underscoring bimodal sentiment amid Japan's recent Q1 2025 contraction of -0.5% quarter-on-quarter. Primary drivers include faltering domestic consumption despite 2.5% wage gains, Bank of Japan rate hikes to 0.25% curbing stimulus, and yen weakness boosting exports but fueling import inflation. Competitive dynamics hinge on Q3 2025 GDP data due October and shunto wage talks; sustained real wage growth could tip odds toward expansion bins like 0.3–0.5% (40%), while global slowdowns favor contractionary outcomes near ≤-0.4% (34%).

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
