Overview

• France’s Cour des comptes estimates €6.6 billion in public spending, split between €3.02 billion for organisation and €3.63 billion for infrastructures.
• The Court highlights heavy security outlays, including €1.44 billion within the organising budget and roughly €1.7 billion for temporary protection plus more than €300 million for durable equipment.
• The short‑term economic boost is judged modest at about 0.07 percentage point of 2024 GDP, with tourism displacement and event‑related restrictions dampening gains.
• Identified public revenues total €293 million linked to organisation, while no budgetary receipts are yet attributed to infrastructures; the Cojop closed with a €75.7 million surplus without tapping the state guarantee.
• The organising committee disputes the Court’s broad accounting perimeter, as the auditors praise on‑time delivery and urge governance lessons for France’s 2030 Winter Games.
