China News Service, June 22. According to Kyodo News, Japan's Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Organizing Committee held a council meeting on the 21st. The final report shows that the total expenditure of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games is 1.4238 trillion yen (about RMB 1.4238 trillion). 70.1 billion yuan).
The Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee will also be disbanded on June 30.
The report pointed out that in the case of additional expenditures caused by delays and epidemic prevention measures, the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee successfully controlled the funds within the range of 1.5 trillion yen (excluding reserve funds) in the first version of the budget plan submitted in 2016.
However, in the "bidding documents" submitted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to the IOC in 2013 during the Olympic bid stage, the holding cost was 734 billion yen, and the actual cost reached nearly double the scale.
Compared with the forecast given in December 2021, the final expenditure was reduced by 29.2 billion yen.
The Olympic Organizing Committee said that the reason is that the construction cost of restoring the stadium to its original state was ultimately less than expected.
Toshiro Muto, secretary general of the Olympic Organizing Committee, said at a press conference: "The funding ended up being lower than the estimated amount. We did what we should have done."
Affected by the new crown epidemic, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics have been postponed for one year, and most competition venues will be empty without spectators.
