Trader consensus on Polymarket favors subdued 0.1-0.3% quarter-on-quarter GDP growth for Germany in Q1 2026 at 33.5% implied probability, driven by persistent manufacturing contraction and downward revisions in official forecasts. Bundesbank's latest outlook slashed 2025 GDP growth to just 0.4% year-on-year from prior 1.3% estimates, citing weak industrial output amid slumping Chinese demand and high energy costs. ECB easing with four 25bp rate cuts since June provides modest tailwinds, but fiscal gridlock ahead of the February 2025 snap election caps stimulus. Upside risks to 1.3%+ (20.1%) hinge on export rebound and budget expansion, while contraction odds (16%) reflect recession fears from trade tensions; wide dispersion underscores 18-month forecast uncertainty backed by real trader capital.

The GDP release will be made available here: https://www.destatis.de/EN/Themes/Economy/National-Accounts-Domestic-Product/_node.html
If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher range bracket.
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.
The resolution source for this market reports 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 of the specified report will not be considered for this market's resolution.
