China's official 2026 growth target of around 4.5–5% anchors trader expectations, reinforced by first-half data showing 4.7% expansion (Q1 at 5.0%, Q2 near 4.3%). Forecasts from the IMF, OECD, Goldman Sachs, UBS, and Reuters polls cluster tightly in the 4.4–4.8% range, reflecting resilient manufacturing and export performance offset by persistent weakness in consumption, property investment, and domestic demand. Policymakers have signaled incremental fiscal support, modest rate and reserve requirement cuts, and a focus on high-quality drivers such as advanced manufacturing and technology upgrading. These factors, combined with the high base from 2025 export strength, keep the 4.0–5.0% band as the dominant outcome while limiting probabilities for materially higher or lower results absent major policy shifts or external shocks.

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.
