1. The 2025 World Expo in Osaka has generated a projected surplus of 23-28 billion yen (150-185 million dollars), exceeding initial concerns and expectations.
2. Attendance at the expo has surpassed 24 million visitors, with over 200,000 people visiting daily in recent times. Sales of goods, including merchandise featuring the official mascot, have also exceeded forecasts.
3. The park-and-ride operation is projected to incur a loss, which will be offset by cutting other expenses. The surplus is expected to be used to share the legacy of the expo. This surplus is larger than that of the 1970 Osaka Expo and the 2005 Aichi Expo.
