Telefónica has completed the sale of its entire 67.5% stake in Colombia Telecomunicaciones S.A. E.S.P. BIC to Millicom Colombia Holdings SAS for $214 million, following receipt of regulatory approvals and fulfillment of closing conditions. The divestment, which cuts the group’s net financial debt by about €1.55 billion, advances Telefónica’s ongoing asset management strategy and its broader plan to exit Hispanoamérica, further streamlining its regional footprint and balance sheet.

For stakeholders, the move signals a more disciplined capital allocation approach and may influence competitive dynamics in the Colombian telecoms market as Millicom consolidates control of Colombia Telecomunicaciones.
