China's official 4.5–5.0% annual growth target for 2026, combined with consensus economist forecasts clustering between 4.5% and 4.8%, anchors trader expectations firmly in the 4.0–5.0% bracket. First-half data showed 4.7% expansion, with Q1 at 5.0% easing to 4.3% in Q2 amid softer investment, sluggish consumption, and property-sector weakness, offset by resilient exports and high-tech manufacturing momentum. External projections from bodies such as the OECD and Goldman Sachs remain aligned with the target range despite the Q2 moderation and external uncertainties. Limited scope for aggressive monetary easing and anticipated fiscal adjustments further support the view that full-year results will stay within the leading outcome, with only modest probability assigned to upside or downside deviations.

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.
