Tokyo- The Tokyo metropolitan government, the organizing committee for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics and the central government have reached a broad agreement on cost-sharing plans for the 2020 Games, informed sources said Wednesday.
Of the estimated total costs of 1.39 trillion yen, the metropolitan government and the organizing committee will each shoulder 600 billion yen, while the central government will contribute 150 billion yen.
