Article Abstract:

The author suggests that it is too early to make forecasts about the economic impact of the Sydney, Australia 2000 Olympic Games, but suggests that economic growth for September should be boosted, employment will have been temporary and confined to the Sydney area, and that the economy should continue to grow. The final conclusion is that investors should not expect a massive boom or a post-Games slowdown.
