France's 2024 Paris Olympics delivered a tiny GDP boost despite high costs and modest returns.
France’s 2024 Paris Olympics generated a minimal economic boost, with the court of auditors estimating a mere 0.07 percentage point increase in annual GDP growth despite €6.6 billion in public spending.
Infrastructure costs reached €3.63 billion, exceeding initial projections by €690 million, while security spending hit €1.44 billion, also above estimates.
The organizing committee, largely privately funded, reported a €76 million profit and contributed €293.6 million in public revenues.
The audit noted limited long-term gains, rising prices dampening infrastructure benefits, and some displacement of regular tourism.
The findings, released on September 29, 2025, come as France prepares for its 2030 Winter Olympics with a €2 billion budget.
