Market-implied odds for 2026 world GDP growth cluster tightly around 3.0 percent or below, with the ≤2.9 percent outcome at 42.5 percent and 3.0 percent at 39.6 percent, reflecting trader consensus shaped by recent institutional forecasts. Major bodies including the IMF, OECD, and World Bank project growth between 2.5 percent and 3.3 percent, with several downward revisions in early 2026 tied to Middle East energy disruptions that elevated inflation and weighed on trade flows. Persistent trade policy uncertainty and geopolitical risks have tempered optimism, keeping higher-growth brackets below 20 percent combined. Key upcoming catalysts include mid-year data releases and any de-escalation signals that could shift the implied rate path.

The relevant figure may be found in the table titled “World Economic Outlook Growth Projections” under “Estimate” in the row “World Output” and the column “2026”. Changes in the IMF’s World Economic Outlook reporting format will not disqualify a published figure from counting.
The GDP release will be made available here: https://www.imf.org/en/publications/weo
If no estimate of the 2026 annual percent change in world real GDP is released in a World Economic Outlook Update between the October 2026 and April 2027 editions of the World Economic Outlook, this market will resolve according to the published figure for 2026 annual percent change in World real GDP in the April 2027 edition of the World Economic Outlook. If no such figure is published by April 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, another credible resolution source will be chosen.
If multiple World Economic Outlook Updates are released between the October 2026 and April 2027 editions of the World Economic Outlook, this market will resolve based on the first such publication which includes an estimate of the 2026 annual percent change in World GDP. Projections of World GDP, however, will not be considered.
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 release 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.
Note: the resolution source for this market reports annual percent change in world real GDP to one decimal point (e.g. 3.3%). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
