Intro

This market tracks whether Japan's annualized quarter-over-quarter GDP growth will reach at least 4.0% in the second quarter of 2026. On Polymarket, the probability of this outcome stands at 51.0%. Resolution will be determined by the Japan Cabinet Office's official Quarterly Estimates of GDP report, which publishes the seasonally adjusted annualized growth rate to one decimal place. Watch for the Cabinet Office's First Preliminary Estimates release scheduled for August 17, 2026, which will provide the definitive figure for Q2 2026 GDP growth.

Polymarket

This market will resolve according to Japan's real gross domestic product growth rate (Quarter-over-Quarter Annualized, %) in the second quarter of 2026, as reported in the Japan Cabinet Office's Quarterly Estimates of GDP (First Preliminary Estimates) release for Q2 of 2026, scheduled for release on August 17, 2026. The relevant figure may be found in the summary document, in table 1-1 'Quarterly Real Growth Rate (Seasonally Adjusted Series, Quarter-to-Quarter)' — this figure expresses the quarterly growth rate compounded over four quarters to produce an annualized equivalent. 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 the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, 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. Note: the resolution source for this market reports Quarter-over-Quarter Annualized GDP growth rates to only one decimal point (e.g. 2.1%). 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

Frequently asked questions

The market is scheduled to resolve on Aug 17, 2026. Resolution will be determined by Japan's official Q2 2026 GDP growth figure, reported on an annualized quarter-over-quarter basis. The outcome will be matched against the predefined ranges or thresholds established for each contract. Once the data is released and verified, the market will settle according to which outcome bracket the actual GDP growth rate falls into, and traders holding winning shares will receive their payout.

Key catalysts include Bank of Japan monetary policy decisions, inflation trends, and wage growth data that signal consumer spending strength. Global trade dynamics, particularly demand from the US and China, directly impact Japanese exports and manufacturing output. Domestic investment and business confidence surveys provide early signals of Q2 activity. Energy prices and yen exchange rates influence both inflation and competitiveness. Any major geopolitical shocks or revisions to Q1 2026 GDP could also shift market expectations. Traders monitor these indicators closely to adjust positions ahead of the official Q2 GDP release.
