Overview

• The Cour des comptes raised the public bill to about €6.65 billion, split between €3.02 billion for organisation (including €1.44 billion for security) and €3.63 billion for infrastructure.
• The report estimates a short‑term lift of just 0.07 percentage point of GDP in 2024 and says it is too early to judge longer‑term effects.
• Auditors praised on‑time delivery and a Games without major incidents, and highlighted social outcomes with 1.5 million insertion hours versus a 605,320‑hour target.
• The Court documented tourism displacement and access restrictions that dampened expected revenues, and it logged €293 million in identifiable public receipts tied to organisation.
• Paris 2024’s dissolved organising committee formally disputes the audit’s perimeter, arguing many imputed costs predated the bid or are unrelated, as the Court urges tighter governance for the 2030 Winter Games.
