* BOLIVIA: S&P Affirms 'BB-' Rating; Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it affirmed its 'BB-'
long-term and 'B' short-term foreign and local currency sovereign
credit ratings on the Plurinational State of Bolivia. The outlook
on the long-term ratings remains stable. Standard & Poor's 'BB-'
transfer and convertibility (T&C) assessment for Bolivia is
unchanged.
"The ratings on Bolivia are constrained by the country's
fragmented political landscape (due to strong divisions among
regional, social, and ethnic lines) and government intervention
that dissuades investment, as well as vulnerability to the mining
sector and, particularly, shifts in gas prices," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Richard Francis. "Rating strengths include
Bolivia's strong fiscal and external balance sheets in the wake of
debt forgiveness in 2006-2007, followed by current account
surpluses that have led to rising external liquidity. Low fiscal
deficits and declining dollarization also support the rating."
Political tensions remain high because of the entrenched
divisiveness between President Evo Morales and a vociferous, but
fragmented, opposition, as well as the country's unions. Partly
because of Bolivia's political landscape, domestic investment
remains relatively low at less than 20% of GDP. This remains a
key structural weakness, exacerbated by revisions to the country's
investment policies and nationalization of so-called strategic
sectors of the economy. Another rating constraint is the
country's high dependence on revenues from its natural gas and
mining sectors. Nearly 70% of the country's exports are based on
natural gas and minerals and more than 30% of general government
revenues come from these sources.
However, the government's debt burden has declined, and the
country has solid external indicators. The general government
debt burden fell to 14.6% of GDP in 2012 from 18% of GDP in 2011,
partly because of the government's fiscal surplus and high nominal
GDP growth. In 2012, the general government recorded a surplus of
1.8% of GDP. Strong fiscal revenue flows from both high prices on
hydrocarbons and the higher tax burden on foreign companies
operating in the sector underpin Bolivia's strong fiscal
performance. In 2013, S&P expects that the general government
will post a small deficit of almost 1% of GDP--despite higher
government revenues--because of increased public spending.
"The outlook is stable. We could raise the ratings if the
political landscape becomes more conducive to investment,
especially from the private sector, which would raise the overall
domestic investment-to-GDP ratio and support economic growth
prospects. For example, the passage and implementation of a new
mining code could encourage new investment in the mining sector, a
key sector for the country. We could also consider an upgrade if
Bolivia's monetary flexibility benefits from further improvements
in the transmission mechanism of monetary policy. Additionally, a
growing capacity to withstand a fall in commodity prices, either
through further increases in hydrocarbon production or through
increased tax revenues from noncommodity sources, could also lead
to an upgrade. On the other hand, if the political landscape
deteriorates and leads to a reversal in cautious macroeconomic
policies, we could lower the ratings. Absent corrective fiscal
measures, a sharp, sustained fall in natural gas prices could also
lead to a downgrade. If social tensions rise or if external price
shocks weaken the country's fiscal and external accounts, the risk
of derailing sound macroeconomic policies would increase.
Nevertheless, steady revenue from natural gas exports to two
captive markets (Brazil and Argentina) provides Bolivia with
enough of a financial buffer to withstand tough economic
conditions for some time," S&P said.

AUTOVIAS SA: Moody's Lifts Debentures' Rating One Notch to Baa3
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's America Latina Ltda upgraded to Baa3 from Ba1 on the
global scale and Aa1.br from Aa2.br on the Brazilian National
Scale Ratings (NSRs) Autovias' issuer ratings and the ratings on
outstanding senior secured and second lien secured debentures. The
outlook is stable for all ratings.
Ratings upgraded:
Issuer Rating: to Baa3 from Ba1 and Aa1.br from Aa2.br on the
(NSR)
BRL405 million Sr. Sec. Debentures due in 2015 and 2017: to Baa3
from Ba1 and Aa1.br from Aa2.br on the (NSR)
BRL100 million Second lien Sec. Debentures due in 2015: to Baa3
from Ba1 and Aa1.br from Aa2.br on the (NSR)
Ratings Rationale:
Autovias' continued improving operating performance as well as the
new controlling shareholders' less aggressive investment strategy
with respect to existing and new infrastructure assets in Brazil
prompted the upgrade. Autovias also compares favorably within its
peer group of operating toll road concessions in Brazil.
The Baa3 rating reflects the solid credit fundamentals of
Autovias, as evidenced by its strong credit metrics for the rating
category and the relatively stable and supportive regulatory
environment in the state of Sao Paulo. Autovias has a long track
record of operations but traffic history has been relatively
volatile on account of heavy freight traffic composition. The
rating also incorporates upcoming increases in leverage, although
the ultimate structure is still unknown, in order to help finance
large capital expenditure programs at the federal concessions,
planned contract amendments, potential investments in new
concessions, as well as dividend distributions to shareholders.
The rating is further limited by the rather short remaining life
of the Autovias concession, which expires in five years with
little prospects for renewal or extension.
The ratings of Autovias remain constrained by the potential cash
needs of the parent company. Arteris S.A. is forecasted to require
sizeable dividends and occasional inter-company loans from its
state concession subsidiaries in order to support dividend
distributions to shareholders, ongoing capital expenditures at the
federal concession level and to a lesser extent towards new and
select investments in the Brazilian toll road sector.
Nevertheless, covenants embedded in the debentures limit the
distribution of dividends and a significant leverage increase of
Autovias. The covenants limit the maximum amount of net debt to
3.5 times the annual EBITDA and require cash coverage of short
term debt obligations to be higher than 1.2x. Currently, these
covenants are relatively loose given that the net debt to EBITDA
ratio was 1.4x for 2012, while the cash coverage of short term
debt was 1.23x (excluding current maturities of long-term debt).
Our projections indicate that coverage under these covenants will
reduce somewhat but remain comfortably achievable throughout the
duration of the debentures.
Recent announcements regarding renegotiations of existing Sao
Paulo state concession agreements towards a new economic re-
equilibrium including lowering tariffs, will likely impact
Autovias. Management believes any such negotiation is likely to
result in increases in the concession life, and Moody's agrees.
Overall, Autovias would benefit from an extension of its
concession life and could absorb a 10-20% reduction in revenues
without suffering a significant negative impact on its credit
metrics given its strong positive cash flow generation capability
with capital expenditures limited to maintenance only.
Autovias' new controlling shareholders have a more conservative
business strategy with respect to new investments, favoring more
brownfield and operational toll roads versus greenfield projects.
In addition, in the short to medium term, it is expected that
through Arteris there will be cost reduction efforts such as more
centralized operations, further development of internal
procedures, and the consolidation of operations while the
integration of the new shareholders and their vision takes place.
There is still interest in participating in some of the upcoming
toll road concessions on a selective basis. This overall more
conservative strategy is a departure from the previous
shareholder's intentions of investing in various segments of
Brazil's infrastructure concessions.
The existing early maturity clauses in the debentures comprise a
cross default provision with the parent company. In the event that
Arteris S.A. goes bankrupt or files for reorganization under the
Brazilian bankruptcy law, the debenture holders could call an
early maturity event and execute their rights derived from the
debentures' guarantees.
Autovias has strong credit metrics for the rating category. Toll
related revenues in 2012 increased 9.6% compared to 2011, stemming
from the 2.7% increase in toll traffic and the 4.26% tariff
increase granted by ARTESP on July 1, 2012, in line with inflation
measured by the general price index (IGP-M) from June 2011 to May
2012. Autovias' strong operating performance supported the
continued high cash flow coverage ratios despite the significant
debt increase of BRL505 million with the debenture issuances in
2010. In 2012, the Funds from operations (FFO) to debt ratio
reached 33.7%, while the FFO coverage of the cash interest (cash
interest coverage ratio) was 3.6 times. These metrics were in line
with our expectations.
The stable outlook reflects Moody's opinion that Autovias'
operational performance will remain solid during the remaining
life of the concession in light of strong credit fundamentals
boosted by the expected continued growth in the Brazilian GDP.
Moody's expects that the payment of dividends and extension of
inter-company loans will continue for the remainder of the
concession, but that they will be prudently managed so that the
credit metrics remain within the proposed financial covenants.
Further, Moody's anticipates a smooth integration process deployed
by the experienced and new controlling shareholders focused on
improving operating efficiencies among the various concessions.
The rating could be upgraded if the company were to steadily
improve its liquidity profile and maintain credit metrics in line
with historical performance so that the FFO to debt ratio remains
above 30% and the interest coverage stays above 3.5x on a
sustainable basis.
The rating could be downgraded if there is a significant and
sustained deterioration in credit metrics so that FFO to debt
ratio falls below 25% and interest coverage ratio remains below
3.0x for an extended period of time. Deterioration in the credit
quality of Arteris S.A. could also prompt a downgrade rating
action.
Autovias S.A. (Autovias) is an operating subsidiary of Arteris
S.A. (Arteris, not rated). Arteris (f/k/a OHL Brasil S.A.) is a
holding company with approximately 3,226 kilometers of operating
toll roads under concession in Brazil consisting of four
concessions in the state of Sao Paulo and five federal concessions
in the states of Sao Paulo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Parana
and Santa Catarina. Combined tolled traffic was 696.6 million in
FY 2012.
Autovias has a 20-year concession to operate the toll road
services of five small adjacent roads in the interior of the state
of Sao Paulo, which the state regulatory agency ARTESP granted
under a single concession in 1998, with 5 years remaining. The
five roads consist of 316 kilometers and 5 toll plazas and have an
estimated annual traffic of 44 million of equivalent vehicles. The
region covered by the concession comprises eighteen cities with an
estimated population of around 1.6 million people.
Autovias is now indirectly controlled by Abertis Infraestructuras
S.A. (Abertis, not rated) and by Brookfield Asset Management, Inc.
(Brookfield, Baa2/stable) through their respective ownerships of
51% and 49% in Participes en Brasil S.L. (Participes, not rated).
In August 2012, Abertis and OHL Concessiones S.A. (OHL, Ba2,
negative) reached an agreement through which Abertis incorporated
100% of the shares of Participes, previously owned by OHL. The
operation involved (i) the exchange of 100% of Participes' capital
stock for 10% of Abertis' capital stock, (ii) the assumption, by
Abertis, of approximately BRL1.2 billion in intercompany loans
between OHL and Participes, and (iii) the payment of EUR10.7
million. In order to make the operation feasible, Abertis
formalized an agreement with the Canadian fund Brookfield for the
joint acquisition of Participes. All government approvals were
received and the transaction was finalized in December 2012.
Abertis, a publicly-held company listed in the Spanish market for
more than 25 years, having been included in the IBEX 35 since its
creation. The company has a market capitalization of approximately
EUR9 billion and assets under management of EUR23 billion. It
operates in 12 countries (excluding Brazil) and three sectors:
highway concessions, telecommunications infrastructure and
airports, with 45 public-private partnership contracts and 25
highway concessions worldwide. With the December transaction
close, Abertis became the global leader in highway management.
Brookfield is indirectly controlled by Brookfield Asset Management
Inc., a company listed on the NYSE and the Toronto Stock Exchange,
with a market capitalization of more than $20 billion and more
than $150 billion in assets under management. Brookfield Asset
Management has been operating in Brazil since 1899, with a direct
or indirect presence in 11 states and the Federal District and
more than BRL25 billion under management. In Brazil, it operates
primarily in the real estate, renewable energy, infrastructure and
private equity segments.
The last rating action for Autovias was on November 8, 2010, when
Moody's assigned a Ba1 rating on the global scale and Aa2.br
rating on the Brazilian National scale to the 5-year 2nd lien
senior secured debentures issued by Autovias.
The principal methodology used in this rating was Operational Toll
Roads published in December 2006.
Moody's National Scale Ratings (NSRs) are intended as relative
measures of creditworthiness among debt issues and issuers within
a country, enabling market participants to better differentiate
relative risks. NSRs differ from Moody's global scale ratings in
that they are not globally comparable with the full universe of
Moody's rated entities, but only with NSRs for other rated debt
issues and issuers within the same country. NSRs are designated by
a ".nn" country modifier signifying the relevant country, as in
".mx" for Mexico.
CENTROVIAS SISTEMAS: Moody's Ups Ratings to Ba1, Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's America Latina Ltda upgraded to Ba1 from Ba2 on the global
scale and Aa1.br from Aa2.br the National Scale Ratings (NSRs)
assigned to Centrovias Sistemas Rodoviarios S.A. (Centrovias) and
its BRL406 million senior secured debentures issued in March 2010.
The outlook for all ratings is stable.
Ratings upgraded:
Issuer Rating: to Ba1 from Ba2 and Aa1.br from Aa2.br on the (NSR)
BRL286 million Sr. Sec. Debentures due in 2015: to Ba1 from Ba2
and Aa1.br from Aa2.br on the (NSR)
BRL120 million Sr. Sec. Debentures due in 2017: to Ba1 from Ba2
and Aa1.br from Aa2.br on the (NSR)
Ratings Rationale:
Centrovias' continued improving operating performance as well as
the new controlling shareholders' less aggressive investment
strategy with respect to existing and new infrastructure assets in
Brazil prompted the upgrade. Centrovias also compares favorably
within its peer group of operating toll road concessions in
Brazil.
The upgrade on a global scale rating to Ba1 reflects the mature
nature of Centrovias' concession, as evidenced by its solid
historic performance since 1998 and its strengthening credit
metrics over the last three years. Moody's views recent
improvement in operating performance from higher traffic volumes
as sustainable given the evolving economic fundamentals of its
service area and Centrovias' low capital expenditure requirements.
The stable regulatory environment in the State of Sao Paulo
further supports the ratings.
The upgrade of the Brazilian national scale to Aa1.br reflects the
current standing of Centrovias' ratings in comparison with those
of the other operating toll road concessions in state of Sao
Paulo. Moody's NSRs are intended as relative measures of
creditworthiness within a narrowly defined peer group in the same
country, as compared to the full universe of Moody's rated
entities, and thus differ from Moody's global scale ratings.
The ratings of Centrovias remain constrained by the potential cash
needs of the parent company. Arteris S.A. is forecasted to require
sizeable dividends and occasional inter-company loans from its
state concession subsidiaries in order to support dividend
distributions to shareholders, ongoing capital expenditures at the
federal concession level and to a lesser extent towards new and
select investments in the Brazilian toll road sector.
Nevertheless, covenants embedded in the debentures limit the
distribution of dividends and a significant leverage increase of
Centrovias. The covenants limit the maximum amount of net debt to
3.5 times the annual EBITDA and require cash coverage of short
term debt obligations to be higher than 1.2x. Currently, these
covenants are relatively loose given that the net debt to EBITDA
ratio was 0.86x for 2012, while the cash coverage of short term
debt was 3.9x (excluding current maturities of long-term debt).
Our projections indicate that coverage under these covenants will
reduce somewhat but remain comfortably achievable throughout the
duration of the debentures.
Recent announcements regarding renegotiations of existing Sao
Paulo state concession agreements towards a new economic re-
equilibrium including lowering tariffs, will likely impact
Centrovias. Management believes any such negotiation is likely to
result in increases in the concession life, and Moody's agrees.
Overall, Centrovias would benefit from an extension of its
concession life and could absorb a 10-20% reduction in revenues

There is still interest in participating in some of the upcoming
toll road concessions on a selective basis. This overall more
conservative strategy is a departure from the previous
shareholder's intentions of investing in various segments of
Brazil's infrastructure concessions.
Centrovias' fifteen-year history of tolled traffic shows that
heavy trucks represent over 60% of the road traffic in terms of
equivalent vehicles. Commercial vehicle traffic tends to be more
volatile than passenger vehicle traffic and typically moves in
tandem with the country's GDP. From the period spanning from 2000
through 2010, Centrovias presented an average tolled traffic
growth of 5.7% per year, which compares favorably with the
Brazilian GDP performance during the same period (i.e. 3.6% per
year). Measured by equivalent vehicles, tolled traffic at
Centrovias increased 62% in 2011 and 6.5% in 2012, the large
increase in 2011 reflected changes in the configuration of certain
toll plazas so that they could begin to charge tolls in both
directions. On a normalized basis, we estimate that Centrovias'
toll traffic increased approximately 7% in 2011. The traffic
growth in 2012 was driven by increases in traffic for agricultural
commodities and increased car ownership, even though GDP growth in
Brazil was just 2.7% in 2011. Presumably, the lower tariffs with
toll plazas in both directions also contributed to additional
traffic volumes in certain locations as toll evasion was reduced.
The stable outlook reflects Moody's opinion that Centrovias'
operational performance will remain solid during the remaining
life of the concession in light of strong credit fundamentals
boosted by the expected continued growth in the Brazilian GDP.
Moody's expects that the payment of dividends and extension of
inter-company loans will continue for the remainder of the
concession, but that they will be prudently managed so that the
credit metrics remain within the proposed financial covenants.

ratio falls below 25% and interest coverage ratio remains below
3.0x for an extended period of time. Deterioration in the credit
quality of Arteris S.A. could also prompt a downgrade rating
action.
The last rating action on Centrovias was on April 10, 2012 when
Moody's upgraded to Aa2.br, Centrovias' issuer and BRL 406 million
senior secured debentures due in 2015 and 2017 on the Brazilian
National Scale rating.

VIANORTE SA: Moody's Raises Issuer and Debenture Ratings to Ba1
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's America Latina Ltda upgraded Vianorte's senior secured
debentures' ratings and issuer's ratings to Ba1 from Ba2 on the
global scale and Aa2.br from Aa3.br rating on the Brazilian
National scale to the BRL 206 million senior secured debentures
issued by Vianorte S.A. The outlook is stable for all ratings.
Ratings upgraded:
Issuer Rating: to Ba1 from Ba2 and Aa2.br from Aa3.br on the (NSR)
BRL286 million Sr. Sec. Debentures due in 2015 and 2017: to Ba1
from Ba2 and Aa1.br from Aa2.br on the (NSR)
Ratings Rationale:
Vianorte's continued improving operating performance as well as
the new controlling shareholders' less aggressive investment
strategy with respect to existing and new infrastructure assets in
Brazil prompted the upgrade. Vianorte also compares favorably
within its peer group of operating toll road concessions in
Brazil.
The Ba1 and Aa2.br issuer ratings of Vianorte reflect the mature
nature of the concession, as evidenced by its solid and stable
historic performance. Vianorte serves a relatively small but
wealthy region with virtually no comparable competition from
alternative routes foreseen during the remaining life of the
concession. The rating is supported by solid credit metrics for
the rating category and the relatively strong track record of
operating performance since 1998 in the stable regulatory
environment of the State of Sao Paulo.
The ratings of Vianorte remain constrained by the potential cash
needs of the parent company. Arteris S.A. is forecasted to require
sizeable dividends and occasional inter-company loans from its
state concession subsidiaries in order to support dividend
distributions to shareholders, ongoing capital expenditures at the
federal concession level and to a lesser extent towards new and
select investments in the Brazilian toll road sector. The
relatively short remaining life of the concession also constrains
the rating.
Nevertheless, covenants embedded in the debentures limit the
distribution of dividends and a significant leverage increase of
Vianorte. The covenants limit the maximum amount of net debt to
3.5 times the annual EBITDA and require cash coverage of short
term debt obligations to be higher than 1.2x. Currently, these
covenants are relatively loose given that the net debt to EBITDA
ratio was 0.2x for 2012, while the cash coverage of short term
debt was 7.0x. Our projections indicate that coverage under these
covenants will remain comfortably achievable throughout the
duration of the debentures. Further, the short remaining life of
the concession somewhat limits Vianorte's leveraging capability in
the absence of an extension of concession term.
Vianorte's new controlling shareholders have a more conservative
business strategy with respect to new investments, favoring more
brownfield and operational toll roads versus greenfield projects.
In addition, in the short to medium term, it is expected that
through Arteris there will be cost reduction efforts such as more
centralized operations, further development of internal
procedures, and the consolidation of operations while the
integration of the new shareholders and their vision takes place.
There is still interest in participating in some of the upcoming
toll road concessions on a selective basis. This overall more
conservative strategy is a departure from the previous
shareholder's intentions of investing in various segments of
Brazil's infrastructure concessions.
Recent announcements regarding renegotiations of existing Sao
Paulo state concession agreements towards a new economic re-
equilibrium including lowering tariffs will likely impact
Vianorte. Management believes any such negotiation is likely to
result in increases in the concession life, and Moody's agrees.
Overall, Vianorte would benefit from an extension of its
concession life and could absorb a 10-20% reduction in revenues
without suffering a significant negative impact on its credit
metrics given its strong positive cash flow generation with
capital expenditures limited to maintenance only.
The stable outlook reflects Moody's opinion that Vianorte's
operational performance will remain solid during the remaining
life of the concession in light of strong credit fundamentals
boosted by the expected continued growth in the Brazilian GDP.
Moody's expects that the payment of dividends and extension of
inter-company loans will continue for the remainder of the
concession, but that they will be prudently managed so that the
credit metrics remain within the proposed financial covenants.
Further, Moody's anticipates a smooth integration process deployed
by the experienced and new controlling shareholders focused on
improving operating efficiencies among the various concessions.
The rating could be upgraded if the company were to steadily
improve its liquidity profile and produce credit metrics in line
with historical performance so that the FFO to debt ratio stays
above 40% and the interest coverage remains above 4.0x on a
sustainable basis.
The rating or the outlook could be downgraded if there is a
significant and sustained deterioration in credit metrics so that
FFO to debt ratio falls below 30% and interest coverage ratio
remains below 3.x for an extended period. Deterioration in the
credit quality of Arteris S.A. could also prompt a downgrade
rating action.

(Brookfield, Baa2/stable) through their respective ownerships of
51% and 49% in Participes en Brasil S.L. (Participes, not rated).
In August 2012, Abertis and OHL Concessiones S.A. (OHL, Ba2,
negative) reached an agreement through which Abertis incorporated
100% of the shares of Participes, previously owned by OHL. The
operation involved (i) the exchange of 100% of Participes' capital
stock for 10% of Abertis' capital stock, (ii) the assumption, by
Abertis, of approximately BRL1.2 billion in intercompany loans
between OHL and Participes, and (iii) the payment of EUR10.7
million. In order to make the operation feasible, Abertis
formalized an agreement with the Canadian fund Brookfield for the
joint acquisition of Participes. All government approvals were
received and the transaction was finalized in December 2012.
Abertis, a publicly-held company listed in the Spanish market for
more than 25 years, having been included in the IBEX 35 since its
creation, it has a market capitalization of approximately EUR9
billion and assets under management of EUR23 billion. It operates
in 12 countries (excluding Brazil) and three sectors: highway
concessions, telecommunications infrastructure and airports, with
45 public-private partnership contracts and 25 highway concessions
worldwide. With the merger of Arteris, Abertis became the global
leader in highway management.
Brookfield is indirectly controlled by Brookfield Asset Management
Inc., a company listed on the NYSE and the Toronto Stock Exchange,
with a market capitalization of more than $20 billion and more
than $150 billion in assets under management. Brookfield Asset
Management has been operating in Brazil since 1899, with a direct
or indirect presence in 11 states and the Federal District and
more than BRL25 billion under management. In Brazil, it operates
primarily in the real estate, renewable energy, infrastructure and
private equity segments.
The principal methodology used in this rating was Operational Toll
Roads published in December 2006.
Moody's National Scale Ratings (NSRs) are intended as relative
measures of creditworthiness among debt issues and issuers within
a country, enabling market participants to better differentiate
relative risks. NSRs differ from Moody's global scale ratings in
that they are not globally comparable with the full universe of
Moody's rated entities, but only with NSRs for other rated debt
issues and issuers within the same country. NSRs are designated by
a ".nn" country modifier signifying the relevant country, as in
".mx" for Mexico.

MILLICOM INT'L: Fitch Puts 'BB+' Rating on US$500MM Unsec. Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned Millicom International Cellular, S.A.'s
(MIC) proposed USD500m senior unsecured notes due 2020 a
'BB+(EXP)' rating. Proceeds from the notes will be used primarily
to refinance existing debt at the African subsidiaries and to a
lesser extent for general corporate uses.
KEY RATINGS DRIVERS:
MIC's ratings reflect the company's geographically diversified
portfolio, leading market positions in most of its markets, value
added services orientation, expectation of moderate leverage,
solid liquidity and pre-dividend free cash flow (FCF) generation.
The ratings are tempered by exposure to markets with low sovereign
ratings and low GDP per capita, pricing pressures, debt allocation
between subsidiaries and the holding company, shareholder returns
policy and recent M&A activity.
MIC's rating reflects its leading positions in the majority of its
markets, resulting in FCF generation. Strong brand recognition and
extensive distribution networks helps the company mitigate a
strong competitive environment, particularly in mobile voice. The
company's focus in growing data revenues as part of its strategy
of evolving to a digital company from a communications company is
aimed to alleviate pressures from voice revenues.
The ratings incorporate the company's exposure of its operation to
countries with low sovereign ratings which tends to be more
politically unstable and more volatile in terms of economic
growth. This adds currency risk, as part of its debt is
denominated in USD and cash flow is generated in local currencies.
For the 12 months ended March 31, 2013 approximately 84% of EBITDA
and the majority of operating FCF was generated by the Central and
South American operations. The African operations, with the
exception of Tanzania, are not expected to generate significant
cash flow over the next few years.
The company's strategy involves developing VAS services as
traditional mobile services mature. During 2012 Millicom
restructured its business segments in each country by product
categories to focus on new revenue sources, which include data and
mobile financial services among others. In addition the company
acquired CATV provider Cablevision in Paraguay, entered into an
agreement to acquire an initial 20% stake in Rocket Internet,
which has operations in Latin America and Africa and entered into
discussions with UNE in Colombia to merge both companies' assets.
Recent M&A activity follows MIC's approach to complementing its
existing service portfolio; however it should result in higher
leverage levels. Net debt to EBITDA should approximate to 1.5x
after the transaction with UNE is completed, in line with Fitch's
expectations. Fitch believes that a successful merger will improve
the competitive position of the resulting entity in Colombia, as
they offer complementary services. Fitch also believes there is
some room to achieve synergies that could result in lower leverage
levels over the medium term.
Fitch remains concerned that the investment in Rocket could
require additional capital injections, which could cause
Millicom's leverage to increase. MIC does not expect Rocket to
become EBITDA neutral until 2015, with EBITDA for 2013 being
negative in the range of USD125m-USD200m. The exercise of the
option to increase the ownership in Rocket's Latin America
Internet Holdings (LIH) and Africa Internet Holdings (AIH) to 35%
from 20% for a combined EUR85m (USD109m) is expected to be paid
with cash by September of 2013. MIC has an option to increase its
stake in Rocket to 50% by September of 2014 by an additional
EUR170m and also has an option to acquire the remaining 50% by
September of 2016 depending on the performance of the business.
Pre-dividend FCF margins are expected to remains somewhat stable
in the next few years. As MIC moves to lower margin businesses but
less capital intensive, EBITDA margin is expected to trend towards
35% in the next few years, but should be offset by lower capital
expenditures. Operating performance has come under pressure due to
mobile termination cuts in several markets, the strong competitive
environment in Central America, data investments in South America
and currency devaluation in Africa.
The ratings incorporate that MIC's net debt to EBITDA (after
corporate expenses) should be close to 1.5x over the long term.
For the 12 months ended March 31, 2013 net debt to EBITDA was 1.2x
and funds from operations adjusted net leverage stood at 1.5x. The
ratings take into account the company's shareholder distribution
policy, with Fitch expecting that any excess cash flow generation
will be returned to shareholders in the form of dividend payments
or share buybacks. Shareholder distributions totaled USD731m
during 2012.
MIC has historically maintained a strong liquidity position with
high cash balances. Total consolidated cash as of March 31, 2013
was USD1.1bn. Total on-balance sheet debt of USD3bn was allocated
at the operating companies, with 35% being guaranteed by MIC.
Fitch expects that over the medium term most of the debt will
continue to be allocated at the operating companies and only a
small proportion allocated at the holding company. Debt maturity
profile should be manageable given the company's liquidity
position, pre-dividend FCF and debt maturity profile.
RATING SENSITIVITIES:
-- A strong management commitment towards a net debt to EBITDA
Of 1.0x over the long term could lead to a positive rating
action.
-- An increase in net debt to EBITDA to 2.0x without a clear
path to deleveraging due to a single or combination of M&A
activity, additional funding to Rocket, increased shareholder
distributions or competitive pressures could lead to a
negative rating action.
Fitch rates MIC as follows:
-- Long-term local and foreign currency Issuer Default Rating
(IDR) 'BB+'
The Rating Outlook is Stable.
* COLOMBIA: Four Cities Receive IDB Action Plans For Urban Growth
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Inter-American Development Bank disclosed the completion of
action plans for the Colombian cities of Barranquilla,
Bucaramanga, Manizales, and Pereira, providing them with powerful
tools to prioritize their investments over the next decade.
The action plans provide preliminary estimates that the four
Colombian cities require $2.2 billion in investments in areas such
as urban development of socially vulnerable areas, expansion of
public transport systems and provision of exclusive lanes for
pedestrians and bicycles, renovation of historic centers, public
safety, and strengthened fiscal management.
This marks the first time the IDB has simultaneously released four
action plans in one country, an achievement that was carried out
through a partnership between the IDB's Emerging and Sustainable
Cities Initiative (ESCI) and Financiera del Desarrollo (Findeter),
the Colombian state agency that supports development projects in
the country.
"Barranquilla, Bucaramanga, Manizales, and Pereira now have tools
to allocate resources where they are most needed, enabling their
citizens to live in cities that are more pleasant, more
environmentally sustainable, and more competitive," said Ellis
Juan, the IDB's coordinator for ESCI." In addition to a rigorous
technical process to develop the plans, the planning effort
received extensive input from civil society, which further
strengthens the sustainability of the plans," he said.
Under the ESCI program, the IDB is working in partnership with
banks and local investment entities as well as public and private
international donors to achieve its goal of generating 50 action
plans for high- growth intermediate-sized cities in Latin America
and the Caribbean by 2015. Each action plan costs about $1
million.
ESCI also works with universities and research centers and draws
on the expertise of leading international urban planning
professionals. The new initiative uses 140 indicators in areas
such as fiscal management, water and waste management, energy,
natural disaster vulnerability, land use and transportation.
So far, seven cities -- Trujillo (Peru), Port of Spain (Trinidad
and Tobago), Montevideo (Uruguay), La Paz (Mexico), Mar del Plata
(Argentina), Santa Ana (El Salvador) and Goiania (Brazil) -- are
implementing their action plans. Nine other cities, including the
four Colombian cities, are in the process of rolling out their
plans.
The action plans, which identify areas that need improvement, are
followed by a pre-investment stage that identifies specific
projects, how much they cost and helps mobilize long-term
financing. The entire process takes about four years.
In the case of Colombia, the government and the IDB have agreed on
a $600 million credit line, subject to approval by the IDB's Board
of Executive Directors, to support fiscal strengthening and public
investment expenditures for local governments.

* DOMINICAN REP: Central Bank Injects US$488MM to Boost Economy
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Dominican Today reports that Dominican Republic's Central Bank
released RD$20.0 billion (US$488.0 million) to finance
construction, agriculture, retail and small and medium businesses,
among other productive sectors.
The funds, to be lent at 9% during a term of six years, stem from
the Monetary Board's move to spur the economy hit hard by the tax
package enacted late last year, and expected first quarter growth
at less than 1%, according to The Dominican Today.
Central Banker Hector Valdez said RD$5.0 billion will be earmarked
to finance the construction of 3,700 houses and an additional
RD$1.0 billion to finish new homes, the report relates.
The Dominican Today notes that Mr. Valdez said there'll be RD$5.0
billion for industry, RD$3.4 billion for small and medium
businesses, and RD$606 million for consumer loans.

***********
Monday's edition of the TCR-LA delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-LA editors from a variety of outside
sources during the prior week we think are reliable. Those
sources may not, however, be complete or accurate. The Monday
Bond Pricing table is compiled on the Friday prior to publication.
Prices reported are not intended to reflect actual trades. Prices
for actual trades are probably different. Our objective is to
share information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR-LA constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy
or sell any security of any kind. It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR-LA editor holds some position in the
issuers' public debt and equity securities about which we report.
Tuesday's edition of the TCR-LA features a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on the
latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
publication. At first glance, this list may look like the
definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled. Assets, for example, reported at historical cost
net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's
assets. A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for
liabilities that may never materialize. The prices at which
equity securities trade in public market are determined by more
than a balance sheet solvency test.
A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Thursday's edition of the TCR-LA. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged. Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com
