CITY VIEWS | DO YOU THINK THE OLYMPICS WILL BE A BOOST TO THE ECONOMY?
ALEX TROTT ABERDEEN ASSET MANAGEMENT
I think it mainly will affect the retail sector, because of the amount of people coming into the area. I agree that London will attract more attention than usual. It’s a big player in the world.

I doubt there will be a profit overall, in fact, it probably cost more to develop the transport and policing and everything else. Possibly there will be more foreign investments from construction and so on.
SIMON VIVIAN BREEDON AGGREGATES
I agree the Olympics will have an impact. It will be beneficial and bring quite a lot to the British economy. For London, it will bring a significant profit and a lot of activity will be generated.
