How much has Japan invested in the Tokyo Olympics?

Question

Accepted Answer

Japan's Investment in the Tokyo Olympics

Japan has invested approximately US$12 billion (RM50.6 billion) in the Tokyo Olympics. The Summer Olympics are scheduled to proceed from July 24.
Investment Scale

The Japanese government has committed a substantial financial sum to hosting the Tokyo Olympics. This figure represents the total investment made by Japan in preparation for the event, highlighting the significant resources allocated to staging the Games.
Insurance Coverage Considerations

Beyond the direct investment, global insurers face potential substantial payouts if the coronavirus pandemic forces the cancellation of the Tokyo Games. While standard event cancellation insurance often excludes easily spread diseases, many large event policyholders, including those involved with the Olympics, typically purchase communicable disease coverage.
Potential Insurer Exposure

Estimates suggest that the cost of insuring the Tokyo event could be as high as US$24 million, based on a premium of 2-3 per cent of the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) approximately US$800 million protection for each Summer Games. Munich Re, a provider of cancellation insurance for Tokyo, has an exposure in the hundreds of millions of euros. Analysts estimate the insured cost of the 2020 Olympics at US$2 billion, encompassing TV rights and sponsorship, with an additional US$600 million for hospitality.
