Is it time for the French economy to reap the fruits of these successful Games? The Minister of Commerce and Tourism is convinced of this. In an interview with Le Tribune on Sunday, Olivia Grégoire predicted an economic benefit of 9 billion euros over the next 15 years. “Without any offence to those who are unhappy, these Games, which cost 8.8 billion euros and consisted mainly of private investment, will largely recoup their costs,” she said happily. At the end of the two weeks, we had a 16% increase in overnight stays in all the host cities, with a 20% increase in Île-de-France. »
The Banque de France also wants to remain positive. Since August 9, it expects growth in the third quarter to be “significantly higher by 0.5%”, driven by gaming.
