The cost of hosting last year’s Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics is now being set at ¥1.42 trillion ($10.5 billion), down ¥30 billion from the amount forecast in December, a source with knowledge of the matter has said.
The games’ organizing committee will announce the official figure following its Tuesday board meeting, with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s burden lightened by ¥20 billion following “close examination” of the costs, the source said Saturday.
The organizers, the metropolitan government and the central government were to jointly shoulder the games’ financial burden.
