Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The sale of the Peruvian unit is significant as Millicom does not currently operate in Peru, and the unit is viewed as a potential gateway for the company into the country. Since Millicom's shares are listed on Nasdaq, a transaction would affect US investors in the group.
