Overview

• The audit body recorded €2.77 billion in event organization expenses and €3.19 billion in infrastructure outlays in its initial estimate.
• Security spending represented €1.4 billion of the organizing budget, covering daily deployments of over 30,000 police and gendarmes.
• Paris 2024 organizers contend the €6 billion figure includes costs predating the Games and ongoing projects that should not be solely attributed to the event.
• The report does not assess the positive or negative effects on economic activity or tax revenues because of a lack of concrete data.
