South Korea’s Q3 2026 year-over-year GDP growth market reflects trader focus on semiconductor export momentum offsetting potential moderation. Q2 advanced 3.7% YoY and 0.6% QoQ, beating estimates, after a robust 3.8% YoY and 1.8% QoQ print in Q1, with chips driving record export gains amid global AI demand. Official and analyst forecasts for full-year 2026 cluster near 2.6–3.0%, supported by net exports yet tempered by energy-price volatility and softer domestic components. The tight distribution across the 2.5–3.9% bands, with 3.0–3.4% leading at 35.5% implied probability, captures uncertainty around whether Q3 will sustain above-trend momentum or ease toward base rates near 2.5%.

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. For the full release schedule, see: https://www.bok.or.kr/eng/stats/statsPublictSchdul/listCldr.do?menuNo=400359&date=2026-01
