China's National Bureau of Statistics reported 5.0% year-on-year GDP growth for Q1 2026 on April 16, exceeding forecasts of 4.8% amid resilient exports and industrial output despite the Iran war's early supply chain disruptions, anchoring trader consensus on 4.0–5.0% full-year expansion at 77.5%. This aligns with the government's March Two Sessions target of 4.5–5.0% and IMF's April forecast of 4.4%, reflecting structural drags like weak domestic consumption, property sector contraction, and potential energy price hikes. The 19.1% on 5.0–6.0% captures upside from possible fiscal stimulus or export rerouting, while lower bands remain slim given policy flexibility and historical target adherence; Q2 data and global trade tensions loom as key catalysts.

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.
