Trader sentiment on Polymarket reflects a closely contested market for Japan Q1 2026 GDP growth, with 0.0–0.2% (46.5%) edging out 0.9–1.1% (40.0%) amid mixed leading indicators. Weak February data—industrial production down 2.1% month-on-month, retail sales slipping 0.2% year-on-year, and housing starts dropping 4.9% year-on-year—has intensified downside risks to private consumption and construction, offsetting January's stronger readings. The Bank of Japan's March Tankan survey showed improving large-firm sentiment and 3.3% fiscal 2026 capex growth projections, but March manufacturing PMI slowed to 51.6 amid Iran war concerns. Consensus forecasts hover around 1.5% annualized quarter-on-quarter, yet traders price higher stagnation odds; watch April machine orders and preliminary GDP release in mid-May for resolution catalysts.

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
