Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games ‘contributed £1.2bn to UK economy’
The Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games contributed approximately £1.2 billion to the UK economy, new figures say.
Nearly half of that sum was created in the West Midlands as the biggest multi-sport event to be held in England since the London 2012 Olympics brought together 6,600 athletes and team officials from across 72 Commonwealth nations and territories.
There was also £79.5 million in social value, according to an evaluation published by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).
