Trader consensus on Polymarket overwhelmingly favors 4.0–5.0% annual GDP growth for China in 2026 at 89.5%, reflecting structural headwinds like the property sector crisis, weak domestic consumption, deflation risks, and an aging population that cap expansion despite recent stimulus. Beijing's September 2024 policy package, including rate cuts and fiscal support equivalent to about 2% of GDP, boosted Q3 growth to 4.6% year-over-year but fell short of the ~5% full-year target, fueling doubts on sustained momentum. Third plenum reforms prioritize tech self-reliance and high-quality development, yet potential US tariffs post-election add downside pressure, elevating 3.0–4.0% as a 6.2% tail risk while higher ranges see minimal support.

The relevant figure may be found in the table titled “Preliminary Accounting Results of GDP for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year of 2026” under “Growth Rate Y/Y (%)” in the row “GDP” and the column “Year 2026”. The annual GDP Y/Y growth rate will still be considered if China’s GDP reporting format changes.
If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher range bracket.
The GDP release will be made available here: https://www.stats.gov.cn/english/PressRelease/
If no figure for the full year 2026 Y/Y GDP growth rate is reported, this market will resolve according to the Y/Y growth rate for Q4 2026. If no data for the specified year and 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: 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.
