2 prediction markets price this story:

• Will world GDP growth be 3.1% in 2026? — the market puts it at 30%, with $1 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 15 Jan 2027. The market resolves based on the first IMF World Economic Outlook Update released between October 2026 and April 2027 that includes an estimate for 2026 world GDP growth. The outcome is Yes if that specific figure is exactly 3.1%, and No otherwise. Readers often mistake this for a prediction of Pakistan's growth or assume later IMF revisions count, but only the initial data from the first qualifying update matters.
• Pakistan — the market puts it at 4%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Donald Trump physically enters Pakistan between now and January 1, 2027. It resolves to No if he does not visit within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the linked drone deal for a valid visit, but only his physical presence counts.
