We build the digital highways that connect people, improve lives and develop communities.
Millicom’s future is deeply rooted in Latin America. While many of our markets are still grappling with the pandemic, local economies are gradually recovering as businesses and governments learn to adapt to this new reality. The International Monetary Fund World Economic Outlook projects that our Latin American markets will grow by roughly 4.0% in 2022, above the regional average of 2.4%. But a lack of digital infrastructure threatens to hold these markets back. Accelerating the digital transition must be a priority for these countries’ economies to take the next step—and we’re laser focused on making it happen.
Our purpose inspires our business strategies and drives their success. By shifting our focus in 2020 to keeping customers and employees safe and connected, we created the conditions for a robust 2021.
Our revenue grew 10.7% year-over-year, aided by stronger commercial activity and consolidation of Guatemala.

The decisions we made in 2020 when COVID-19 hit, paved the way for strong growth in 2021. Customer trust in the Tigo brand hit at an all-time high, leading to more customer acquisitions. Our focus on cash flow generation and debt reduction enabled us to invest an additional 18.0% in capital expenditures in Latam this year, giving us critical momentum as we expanded our market reach. These investments also positioned us to meet the needs of our markets long term, as our coverage areas grow and demand for home, business and mobile connectivity increases.
Millicom’s business strategies are grounded in six interconnected areas.
