The implications of hosting an Olympic Games for the British economy are huge. Current UK construction industry output is £102.4 billion a year, to which the Olympics will add an extra 10 per cent.
Some 30,000 construction jobs will be created, house prices in the east of London are predicted to rise by up to 15 per cent and the whole country is expected to see a tourism surge both before and after the Games. |
The estimated cost of putting on the Olympics is rising continuously, but is currently estimated to be up to £9,3 billion (19.5.2009). This promises to provide a huge range of opportunities for foreign as well as local enterprises. Finnish businesses could benefit from a variety of contracts in construction, security and environmental development.
