However, according to Bloomberg, the total assets for 2012 were $ 63.4 billion (about 5. 54 trillion yen), which was 7 billion dollars (about 6110 billion yen) higher than in 2011.

However, the stock price of America Movil, which is the biggest element to support that asset, fell 5.8% by the end of the year, resulting in a large drop in assets. Still, it is surprising that the asset has increased by 13.4 billion dollars (about 1.2 trillion yen) as compared with last year.
