Polymarket
This market will resolve according to Canada’s gross domestic product growth rate over the one-month period ending August 2026 (Real GDP monthly change, %), as reported by Statistics Canada’s (StatCan) “Gross domestic product by industry” release for August 2026, scheduled for release on October 30, 2026. The GDP release and relevant statistics are expected to be made available here: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/dai-quo/ind1-eng.htm If the specified release is not published, this market will resolve based on the first published figure for the specified month’s GDP growth rate compared to the prior month. If no data for the specified month is released by the date the next month's data is scheduled to be released, this market will resolve based on data from the last available month. Note: the resolution source for this market reports GDP growth rates compared to the prior month to only one decimal point (e.g. 0.8%). 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 month 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://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/dai-quo/cal1-eng.htm?sk=3569.

On Polymarket, this market is priced using a continuous double auction, meaning traders can buy and sell contracts representing their belief about the future GDP growth rate. The price of each contract reflects the probability of that outcome occurring, as determined by supply and demand. On Polymarket, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. As more traders participate and new information becomes available, the prices will adjust to reflect the evolving consensus. The market’s liquidity, indicated by the 24-hour volume, also influences price discovery. Traders are incentivized to provide accurate predictions, as successful forecasts result in profitable trades.
This market resolves around Oct 30, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the official GDP growth rate for Canada in August 2026 is verifiable from credible public reporting. The resolution will be based on the official data released by Statistics Canada, which is the standard source for this economic indicator. The specific growth rate will determine which outcome in this market is considered correct, and payouts will be distributed accordingly to those who held winning contracts. Traders should monitor official releases from Statistics Canada as the resolution date approaches.
Several signals and events could significantly influence this market before it resolves. Major economic data releases related to Canada’s economy, such as employment figures, inflation rates, and retail sales, could all shift trader sentiment. Unexpected geopolitical events, changes in global trade patterns, or shifts in Canadian government policy could also impact expectations for GDP growth. Furthermore, revisions to previous GDP figures or changes in analyst forecasts could prompt traders to reassess their positions. Any news that alters the perceived trajectory of the Canadian economy has the potential to move this market.
