Strong semiconductor-driven export growth, with May shipments surging 53.2% year-over-year to a record $87.75 billion and chip exports up 169%, remains the dominant factor anchoring trader expectations for South Korea’s Q2 2026 GDP. This momentum follows Q1’s robust 1.8% quarter-on-quarter expansion and 3.6–3.8% year-on-year rise, supported by facility investment and recovering domestic demand. However, base effects, elevated oil prices lifting May CPI to 3.1%, and moderating global demand create uncertainty around the precise pace, keeping the 2.5–2.9% and 3.0–3.4% ranges in close contention at 47.7% and 41.5% implied probability. Forecasters project full-year growth near 2.0–2.6%, with upcoming June trade data and Bank of Korea communications likely to influence final positioning before the July preliminary release.

The GDP release will be made available here: https://www.bok.or.kr/eng/singl/newsDataEng/list.do?pageIndex=&targetDepth=3&menuNo=400423&syncMenuChekKey=1&searchCnd=1&searchKwd=&depth2=400417&depth3=400423&date=&sdate=&edate=&sort=1&pageUnit=10
The relevant figure may be found in the table titled “Growth Rates by Type of Economic Activity and Component of Expenditure (original series, percentage change over previous year)” in the row “Gross Domestic Product” and the column for the specified quarter. Changes in South Korea’s GDP reporting format will not disqualify a published figure from counting.
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-on-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.
