The cost of last year’s Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro has increased to BRL$43.3 billion (£10.4 billion/$13.2 billion/€11.8 billion) - around BRL$14.5 billion (£3.5 billion/$4.4 billion/€3.9 billion) more than originally planned.
This is according to figures published in a report by the Governing Authority of the Olympic Legacy (AGLO).
The report was initially due to be released in February, with updates coming every six months after the Games.
The publication was delayed, however.
The original budget when Brazil won the hosting rights to the Games in 2009 was BRL$28.8 billion (£6.9 billion/$8.8 billion/€7.8 billion).
The total cost announced by AGLO, which said BRL$7.23 billion (£1.73 billion/$2.21 billion/€1.98 billion) was spent on venues for the Games, may still increase further.
Globo Esporte reports that the cost of infrastructure projects increased to BRL$26.7 billion (£6.4 billion/$8.2 billion/€7.3 billion) and another BRL$9.2 billion (£2.2 billion/$2.8 billion/€2.5 billion) was spent on operating costs.
Rio 2016 had an initial operational budget of BRL$8.7 billion (£2.1 billion/$2.7 billion/€2.4 billion), with communications director Mario Andrada telling insidethegames in April that he estimated around one per cent remained.
It was revealed in April that Rio 2016 owe BRL$87 million (£20.8 million/$26.6 million/€23.8 million) in outstanding payments to suppliers and third parties.
A plan for the future use of Olympic venues was also expected to be announced by the AGLO.
Reports say AGLO President Paulo Marcio Dias Mello spoke vaguely about this matter, but he did not provide any cost or income figures. (inside the game)
