This market will resolve according to South Korea's real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate (Year-on-Year, %) in Q3 of 2026, as reported in the Bank of Korea’s Real Gross Domestic Product (Advance Estimate) release for Q3 of 2026, scheduled for release on October 27, 2026. 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=2026-01Strong semiconductor export momentum, fueled by the global AI boom, underpins the tight contest in South Korea’s Q3 2026 GDP growth (YoY) market, where trader-implied odds cluster around the 2.5–3.4% ranges. Q2 delivered 0.6% QoQ and 3.7% YoY growth, beating estimates on a 1.4% export rise led by chips, which now comprise over 40% of shipments. Official and institutional forecasts for full-year 2026 sit near 2.6–3.0% after upward revisions, reflecting net export contributions of roughly one percentage point. However, softening domestic indicators—including May industrial production declines, retail sales softness, and CPI rising to 3.1%—introduce uncertainty about consumption and construction resilience amid Middle East risks and potential monetary caution. Upcoming Q3 data releases and Bank of Korea communications will likely drive further shifts in these closely matched probabilities.
