Abstract

The article reports about the costs associated with Olympics and how Athens in Greece has experienced it. The government spent $3 billion building and upgrading 36 venues for the Games and another $8 billion on infrastructure and security. Greece now has a 6% budget deficit, in breach of the European Union's stability pact, and its economic growth is projected to slow from 4.2% in 2004 to 2.8% in 2005.
