Global High Income Fund Inc.

December 15, 2006

Dear shareholder,
We are pleased to present you with the annual report for Global High Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006.

Performance
Over the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, the Fund returned 11.75% on a net asset value basis and 6.28% on a market price basis. Over the same period, the median returns for the Fund’s peer group, the Lipper Emerging Markets Debt Funds, were 11.16% and 17.29% on a net asset value and market price basis, respectively. Finally, the Fund’s benchmark, the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Index (the “Index”) returned 11.45% over the annual period. (For more performance information, please refer to “Performance at a glance” on page 5.) The Fund did not use leverage during the period. Leverage magnifies returns on both the upside and on the downside, and creates a wider range of returns within the Fund’s peer group.

An interview with portfolio manager Uwe Schillhorn
Q. Why was the Fund’s market price return so different from its Lipper peer group’s?
A. The Fund traded at a premium for most of the reporting period and its net asset value return outperformed that of the peer group average; however, peers on average saw more market price appreciation over the period than did the Fund. As noted in the last report, many factors can affect whether investors are willing to pay more or less for a fund than the net asset value of the shares, and hence whether a fund trades at a premium or a discount. During the fiscal period emerging market bonds saw both periods of rapid appreciation and depreciation with the overall trend a double-digit positive return over the year. The Fund does not employ leverage as do many of the funds in the Lipper peer group. This tends to reduce the volatility of the Fund versus its peers and investors may have been seeking greater appreciation potential from funds that use leverage, thus bidding up their market prices.

  Additionally, as the Fund generally traded at a premium over the period, shorter-term oriented investors may have sought peer funds trading at discounts to capture short-term gains from discount closure. Looking back, while many factors may have had an effect on the Fund’s market price during the period, the Fund’s management team ultimately is unable to predict whether the Fund will trade at a discount or a premium, as there are many external factors that influence market trading.
   
Q. How did emerging markets debt perform over the period?
A. Emerging markets debt (EMD) performed well during the fiscal year. Over the reporting period, the economic growth in emerging markets continued to be favorable, providing some support for emerging debt securities even as volatility gripped the markets in May, and a bout of risk aversion was felt throughout the markets at the end of September.
   
Q. Were there any themes that emerged at the regional level?
A. The major economies of Latin America continued to expand in concert over the year. European Economic Union accession for many economies in Eastern Europe, an increasingly important region for emerging markets debt, also propped up the entire asset class’s performance.
   
Q. What were some of the portfolio positioning strategies you employed over the period?
A. Throughout the reporting period, Argentina was the largest overweight. (“Overweight” or “underweight” refers to how much of a particular sector or country the Fund holds versus its representative benchmark index.) We see opportunity in Argentina’s partial restructuring of its debt. After defaulting during the country’s financial crisis, it closes a difficult period for the country. This restructuring improves the prospects for servicing current outstanding debt, which in turn helps investor sentiment. As a result, the largest share of the Fund’s outperformance for the reporting period came from positions in Argentina.
   
  We were underweight during the fiscal year to Mexico, largely a reflection of the fact that we found more attractive opportunities elsewhere. We have continued to seek opportunities in local markets, as fundamentals have been favorable and interest rates relatively high. Over the second half of the period, this resulted in us moving from US dollar-denominated issues to local currency issues, the latter generally non-rated. Therefore, we saw a decrease in rated positions in the portfolio; however, overall portfolio credit quality remained largely the same as we view many of the non-rated holdings to be of similar quality to the ones they replaced. The portfolio incurs additional

  foreign currency risk by investing in local currency markets, which may increase as the Fund may now invest to a greater extent in non-US dollar denominated securities. At the end of the period, the Fund continued to seek further opportunities in local currencies, balanced against a slightly higher position in US dollar cash. (See “Name and investment policy changes” beginning on page 7).
   
  It is important to keep in mind that our sources of return come from many different areas—the overall emerging markets debt market, individual countries, individual bonds, currencies, and duration. (Duration measures the price sensitivity of a fixed-income security to an interest rate change). While a few areas may factor prominently in the returns for a specific period, we normally do not expect to narrowly focus on a few big country or market positions.
   
Q. How were you positioned in other emerging markets countries?
A. Our allocation to Peru performed well halfway through the reporting period, following the victory of Alan Garcia in the country’s recent presidential election, an outcome that the markets preferred over that of left-leaning candidate Ollanta Humala. While positions in Turkey performed poorly during the reporting period, they did stage a comeback during the months of July and August, when spreads in that country tightened significantly.
   
Q. What is your outlook for the global economy and the fixed-income markets?
A. As mentioned earlier in a discussion of emerging market debt performance as a whole, fundamentals and economic growth in that area generally remain strong. We do view emerging market external spreads to be trading tightly (meaning prices are relatively high) though we are finding attractive investment opportunities in a number of local markets.
   
  Despite this, we expect slower growth in the more developed major markets. Our view is that inflation has not yet been brought under control in the major economies, and this will be a big factor in 2007. We expect growth in this area to weaken, but by less than we believe the market expects because the spillovers from the housing correction in the US should be limited. Taken together, these two factors mean that central banks may need to be more hawkish, or at least less doveish, than the market appears to be pricing in. We believe that major developed fixed income markets look overpriced, and we expect to see them sell off in 2007, while our outlook remains positive in general for emerging market fundamentals.

Past performance does not predict future performance. The return and value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. NAV return assumes, for illustration only, that dividends/distributions were reinvested at the net asset value on the payable dates. Fund market price returns assume that dividends/distributions were reinvested under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends/distributions or brokerage commissions and taxes on the sale of Fund shares.

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Name and investment policy changes (unaudited)

On November 6, 2006, the fund changed its name from “Global High Income Dollar Fund Inc.” to “Global High Income Fund Inc.” Certain related investment policies also were changed as of that date.

Effective November 6, 2006, the fund is able to take greater advantage of investment opportunities in non-US markets. Prior to that date, the fund had a policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in US dollar-denominated debt securities under normal circumstances; the fund could also invest up to 20% of its net assets in non-US dollar-denominated debt securities under normal circumstances.

Effective November 6, 2006:

  The requirement that the fund focus on “US dollar-denominated” investment opportunities was dropped. The old 80% policy was changed to read as follows: “Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in debt securities.” The related 20% policy will cease as it will no longer be needed. Now, the fund is able to invest more heavily in non-US dollar denominated securities.
     
  A related, secondary policy was also revised to remove references to US dollars/US issuers and thus become less restrictive. It now reads as follows: “Under normal market conditions, the fund may commit up to 20% of its net assets to cash as well as invest up to a total of 35% of its total assets in a combination of cash and money market instruments, including repurchase agreements, for liquidity purposes (such as clearance of portfolio transactions, the payment of dividends and expenses and share repurchases) or as part of its ordinary investment activities. The fund’s investments in money market instruments are considered to be investments in debt securities for purposes of the 80% minimum noted above.”

While increased investing in non-US dollar denominated securities increases potential investment opportunities, it may also increase risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates and related portfolio strategies (e.g., using derivatives to hedge currency exposure or enhance return) may affect, to a greater extent, the fund’s net asset value, the value of interest and dividends earned, and gains and losses realized on the sale of securities denominated in foreign currencies.

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Name and investment policy changes (unaudited) (concluded)

In connection with these changes, the benchmark used by the fund’s advisor to monitor performance was changed from the JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index-Global Index (“EMBI-Global”) to a blended benchmark composed of 70% of EMBI-Global and 30% JP Morgan Government Bond Index—Emerging Markets Diversified (in USD) (“JP Morgan GBI-EM Diversified”), a local emerging markets debt benchmark that tracks local currency government bonds issued in emerging markets.

The fund’s New York Stock Exchange trading symbol remains “GHI.”

The fund commenced operations in 1993. Since that time, there have been many changes in the global bond markets. These policy changes should help the fund gain greater exposure to what its advisor believes are attractive investment opportunities around the world.

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements—October 31, 2006

Organization and significant accounting policies
Global High Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) was incorporated in Maryland on February 23, 1993 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Fund’s primary investment objective is to achieve a high level of current income. As a secondary objective the Fund seeks capital appreciation, to the extent consistent with it’s primary objective.

In the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification for certain liabilities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles requires Fund management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Valuation of investments—The Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio securities. The Fund normally obtains market values for its securities from independent pricing sources and broker-dealers. Independent pricing sources may use reported last sale prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized “matrix” systems that derive values based on comparable securities. A matrix system incorporates parameters such as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/or research and evaluations by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations, if available, in determining the valuation of the portfolio securities. Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market and listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) normally are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price on the valuation date available prior to valuation. Securities which are listed on US and foreign stock exchanges normally are valued at the last sale price on the day the securities are valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price. In cases where securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc., the investment advisor of the Fund. If a market value is not available from

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements—October 31, 2006

an independent pricing source for a particular security, that security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued weekly in US dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Occasionally, events affecting the value of foreign investments occur between the time at which they are determined and the close of the NYSE, which will not be reflected in the computation of the Fund’s net asset value. If events materially affecting the value of such securities occur during such time periods, the securities will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board. The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, generally is used to value short-term debt instruments with sixty days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Board determines that this does not represent fair value.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of October 31, 2006, the Fund does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain of the measurements reported in the statement of operations for a fiscal period.

Investment transactions and investment income—Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment and foreign exchange transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.

Foreign currency translation—The Fund uses the foreign currency exchange rates determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. For purposes of calculating the US dollar equivalent value of a non-US dollar denominated obligation, foreign currency amounts are translated


22

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements—October 31, 2006

into US dollars on the following basis: (1) market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities – at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the Fund’s fiscal period; and (2) purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses – at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets and the market value of the Fund’s portfolio are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of the Fund’s fiscal period, the Fund does not generally isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of the changes in market prices of securities. However, the Fund does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency-denominated securities pursuant to US federal income tax regulations. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with US federal income tax regulations.

Forward foreign currency contracts—The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the US dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund may also use forward contracts to enhance income.

The Fund has no specific limitation on the percentage of assets which may be committed to such contracts. The Fund may enter into forward contracts or maintain a net exposure to forward contracts only if (1) the consummation of the contracts would not obligate the Fund to deliver an amount of foreign currency in excess of the value of the position being hedged by such contracts or (2) the Fund identifies cash or liquid securities in an amount not less than the value of its assets committed to the consummation of the forward contracts and not covered as provided in (1) above, as marked-to-market daily.

Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the US dollar.

Fluctuations in the value of forward contracts are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. Realized gains and losses include net gains and losses recognized by the Fund on contracts which have been sold or matured.

Notes to financial statements—October 31, 2006

Purchased options—The Fund may purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund pays a premium which is included in the “Statement of assets and liabilities” as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

Futures contracts—The Fund may use financial futures contracts for hedging purposes and to adjust exposure to US and foreign fixed income markets in connection with a reallocation of the Fund’s assets or to manage the average duration of the Fund. However, imperfect correlations between futures contracts and the related securities or markets, or market disruptions, do not normally permit full control of these risks at all times. Using financial futures contracts involves various market risks. The maximum amount at risk from the purchase of a futures contract is the contract value.

Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or liquid securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin”. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying financial futures contracts. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the financial futures contract is closed, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures.

Total return swap agreements—Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty, respectively. Total return swaps are marked-to-market daily, and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the “Statement of operations”. Periodic payments received or made at the end of each measurement period, but

Credit default swap agreements—Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest and principal in the event of a default of a security or a credit event. As a purchaser of credit default protection, the Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty, and the counterparty would make payments only upon the occurrence of a default or credit event.

The Fund accrues for interim payments on swap contracts on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap contracts on the “Statement of assets and liabilities”. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swaps, in addition to realized gain/loss recorded upon termination of swap contracts on the “Statement of operations”. Fluctuations in the value of swap contracts are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of swaps.


25

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements—October 31, 2006

If no default or credit event occurs, the Fund will lose its periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract. However, if a default or credit event occurs, the Fund would receive full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly. Credit default swaps are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, and credit risk.

At October 31, 2006, the Fund had outstanding credit default swap contracts with the following terms:

Dividends and distributions—Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains and/or return of capital is determined in accordance with US federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US generally accepted accounting principles. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

Concentration of risk
Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in


26

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements—October 31, 2006

the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region, which could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable US companies and US government securities. These risks are greater with respect to securities of issuers located in emerging market countries in which the Fund invests. The ability of the issuers of debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments particular to a specific industry, country or region.

Investment advisor and administrator and other transactions with related entities
UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc. (“UBS Global AM—US”) served as the Fund’s Investment Advisor and Administrator until April 1, 2006. On April 1, 2006, the Fund’s Investment Advisory and Administration Contract (“Advisory Contract”) was transferred from UBS Global AM—US to UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM—Americas”).

The transfer of the Advisory Contracts between sister companies occurred in connection with an internal reorganization involving UBS Global AM—US and UBS Global AM—Americas. The Fund’s Board of Directors approved the transfer of the Advisory Contract effective April 1, 2006. All of the personnel of UBS Global AM—US who previously provided investment advisory services to the Fund continue to provide investment advisory services to the Fund as employees of UBS Global AM—Americas. UBS Global AM—Americas has the same contractual rights and responsibilities under the Advisory and Administration Contract as those previously held by UBS Global AM—US. UBS Global AM—US and UBS Global AM—Americas are both indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of UBS AG.

In accordance with the Advisory Contract, the Fund pays UBS Global AM—Americas an investment advisory and administration fee, which is accrued weekly and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.25% of the Fund’s average weekly net assets. Beginning August 1, 2005, UBS Global AM—US (and UBS Global AM—Americas as successor advisor/administrator) has agreed to waive compensation otherwise payable to it to reduce the fee it receives under the Advisory Contract so that it is paid at the following rates:

Average weekly net assets   Advisory fee

Up to $200 million   1.25%

Above $200 million   1.00%



27

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements—October 31, 2006

The waiver will continue indefinitely unless the Board agrees to any change. At October 31, 2006, the Fund owed UBS Global AM—Americas $311,419, which is composed of $337,542 of investment advisory and administration fees less fees waived of $26,123. For the year ended October 31, 2006, UBS Global AM—Americas waived $288,606 of investment advisory and administration fees from the Fund.

The Fund invests in shares of the UBS Supplementary Trust—U.S. Cash Management Prime Fund (“Supplementary Trust”). Supplementary Trust is a business trust managed by UBS Global AM—Americas. The Fund pays no management fees to Supplementary Trust. Distributions from Supplementary Trust are reflected as interest income on the “Statement of operations”. Amounts relating to those investments at October 31, 2006 and for the year ended are summarized as follows:

                            % of
            Sales     Interest         net
Fund     Purchases     proceeds     income     Value   assets

UBS Supplementary Trust—U.S. Cash Management Prime Fund     $244,889,413     $226,094,464     $952,251     $32,440,632   10.12%

The Fund also invests in shares of UBS Private Money Market Fund LLC (“Private Money Market Fund”). Private Money Market Fund is a money market fund managed by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc., an affiliate of UBS Global AM and is offered as a cash management option only to mutual funds and certain other accounts. The Fund invests in Private Money Market Fund as a short term investment of cash collateral from securities loaned. Amounts relating to those investments at October 31, 2006 and for the year ended are summarized as follows:

                          % of
            Sales     Interest       net

Additional information regarding compensation to affiliate of a board member
Effective March 1, 2005, Professor Meyer Feldberg accepted the position of senior advisor to Morgan Stanley, resulting in him becoming an interested director of the Fund. The Fund has been informed that Professor Feldberg’s role at Morgan Stanley does not involve matters directly affecting any

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements—October 31, 2006

UBS funds. Fund transactions are executed through Morgan Stanley based on that firm’s ability to provide best execution of the transactions. During the year ended October 31, 2006, the Fund purchased and sold certain securities (e.g., fixed income securities) in principal trades with Morgan Stanley having an aggregate value of $5,898,118. Morgan Stanley received compensation in connection with these trades, which may have been in the form of a “mark-up” or “mark-down” of the price of the securities, a fee from the issuer for maintaining a commercial paper program, or some other form of compensation. Although the precise amount of this compensation is not generally known by UBS Global AM—Americas, UBS Global AM—Americas believes that under normal circumstances it represents a small portion of the total value of the transactions.

Securities lending
The Fund may lend securities up to 33 1/3% of its total assets to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are secured at all times by cash, cash equivalents or US government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. The Fund will regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or US government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. UBS Financial Services Inc. and other affiliated broker-dealers have been approved as borrowers under the Fund’s securities lending program. UBS Securities LLC is the lending agent. For the year ended October 31, 2006, UBS Securities LLC earned $8,169 in compensation as the Fund’s lending agent. At October 31, 2006, the Fund did not have any securities on loan and the Fund did not owe UBS Securities LLC compensation as the Fund’s lending agent.

Rights offering
During the year ended October 31, 2006, the Fund issued 2,152,169 shares in connection with a rights offering of the Fund’s common stock. Shareholders of record on November 10, 2005, were issued one non-transferable right for each share of common stock owned, entitling shareholders the opportunity to acquire one newly issued share of common stock for every three rights held. The rights offering commenced on


29

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements—October 31, 2006

November 10, 2005 and expired on December 20, 2005. The subscription price per share was the greater of (i) the net asset value (“NAV”) per share on December 20, 2005 (the “expiration date”) or (ii) 95% of the volume weighted average share price on the New York Stock Exchange on the expiration date and four preceding business days. The subscription price of the offer was $14.58. Offering costs attributed to the rights offering in the amount of $389,000 were charged against additional paid-in-capital.

Capital stock
There are 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock authorized and 21,591,836 shares outstanding at October 31, 2006. For the year ended October 31, 2006 and for the year ended October 31, 2005 the Fund did not repurchase any shares of common stock. Transactions in shares of common stock were as follows:

    Shares     Amount

For the year ended October 31, 2006:          
Shares issued through rights offering   2,152,169     $30,997,694

Purchases and sales of securities
For the year ended October 31, 2006, aggregate purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities, were $316,115,730 and $340,206,743, respectively.

Federal tax status
The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2006 and October 31, 2005 were as follows:

Distributions paid from:   2006   2005

Ordinary income   $ 31,175,740   $ 31,225,937

Net long-term capital gains     20,811,985     24,993,580

    $ 51,987,725   $ 56,219,517



30

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements—October 31, 2006

At October 31, 2006, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed long-term capital gains     $11,479,701

Net unrealized appreciation     11,359,889

Total accumulated earnings     $22,839,590

For federal income tax purposes, the tax cost of investments and the components of net unrealized appreciation of investments at October 31, 2006 were as follows:

Tax cost of investments   $ 303,283,220  

Gross unrealized appreciation     14,810,318  

Gross unrealized depreciation     (2,974,692 )

Net unrealized appreciation   $ 11,835,626  

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation of investments is attributable to premium amortization adjustments and wash sales.

To reflect reclassifications arising from permanent “book/tax” differences for the year ended October 31, 2006, the Fund’s accumulated undistributed net investment income was increased by $9,751,923 and accumulated net realized gain from investment activities was decreased by $9,751,923. The difference is primarily due to tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, paydown gains and losses, reclassification of distributions for tax purposes and adjustments for certain debt obligations.

On July 13, 2006, FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48, and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Global High Income Fund Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Global High Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) (formerly Global High Income Dollar Fund Inc.), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global High Income Fund Inc. at October 31, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles.

Tax information (unaudited)

Dividends received by tax-exempt recipients (e.g., IRAs and Keoghs) need not be reported as taxable income. Some retirement trusts (e.g., corporate, Keogh and 403(b)(7) plans) may need this information for their annual reporting. Since the Fund’s fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification will be sent in respect of calendar year 2006. The second notification, which will reflect the amount to be used by calendar year taxpayers on their federal income tax returns, will be made in conjunction with Form 1099 DIV and will be mailed in January 2007. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund.

The foreign taxes paid represent taxes incurred by the Fund on income received by the Fund from foreign sources. Foreign taxes paid may be included in taxable income with an offsetting deduction from gross income or may be taken as a credit for taxes paid to foreign governments. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the appropriate treatment of foreign taxes paid.

Changes in elections must be made in writing to the Fund’s transfer agent and should include the shareholder’s name and address as they appear on that share certificate or in the transfer agent’s records. An election to terminate participation in the Plan, until such election is changed, will be deemed an election by a shareholder to take all subsequent distributions in cash. An election will be effective only for distributions declared and having a record date at least ten days after the date on which the election is received.

Additional shares of common stock acquired under the Plan will be purchased in the open market, on the NYSE or otherwise, at prices that may be higher or lower than the net asset value per share at the time of the purchase. Investors should consider whether continued participation in the dividend reinvestment plan is appropriate for them when the Fund’s market price exceeds its net asset value; a portion of a dividend/distribution may represent a return of capital, which would be reinvested in the Fund at a premium to net asset value. The number of shares of common stock purchased with each dividend/distribution will be equal to the result obtained by dividing the amount of the dividend/distribution payable to a particular shareholder by the average price per share (including applicable brokerage commissions) that the transfer agent was able to obtain in the open market. The Fund will not issue any new shares in connection with the Plan. There currently is no charge to participants for reinvesting dividends or other distributions. The transfer agent’s fees for handling the reinvestment of distributions are paid by the Fund. However, each participant pays a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the transfer agent’s open market purchases of common stock in connection with the reinvestment of distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and other distributions in shares of common stock does not relieve participants of any income tax that may be payable on such distributions.

Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes are desirable. Accordingly, the Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan

with respect to any dividend or other distribution if notice of the change is sent to Plan participants at least 30 days before the record date for such distribution. The Plan also may be amended or terminated by the transfer agent by at least 30 days’ written notice to all Plan participants. Additional information regarding the Plan may be obtained from, and all correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to, the transfer agent at PFPC Inc., P.O. Box 43027. Providence, Rhode Island 02940-3027. For further information regarding the Plan, you may also contact the transfer agent directly at 1-800-331 1710.

Distribution policy
The Fund’s Board adopted a managed distribution policy in December 1999. Pursuant to the policy as in effect from December 1999 through early May 2005, the Fund made regular monthly distributions at an annualized rate equal to 11% of the Fund’s net asset value, as determined as of the last trading day during the first week of that month (usually a Friday unless the NYSE is closed that Friday). The Board approved reducing the annualized rate for distribution pursuant to the policy from 11% to 9% effective beginning with the June 2005 monthly distribution. Prior to December 20, 1999, the Fund’s distributions varied based on the Fund’s net investment income and realized capital gains or losses. The Fund’s Board may change or terminate the managed distribution policy at any time; any such change or termination may have an adverse effect on the market price for the Fund’s shares.

To the extent that the Fund’s taxable income in any fiscal year exceeds the aggregate amount distributed based on a fixed percentage of its net asset value, the Fund would make an additional distribution in the amount of that excess near the end of the fiscal year. To the extent that the aggregate amount distributed by the Fund (based on a percentage of its net assets) exceeds its current and accumulated earnings and profits, the amount of that excess would constitute a return of capital or net realized capital gains for tax purposes.

Monthly distributions based on a fixed percentage of the Fund’s net asset value may require the Fund to make multiple distributions of long-term capital gains during a single fiscal year. The Fund has received exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission that enables it to do so. The Fund’s Board will reassess the annualized percentage of net assets at which the Fund’s monthly distributions will be made no less frequently than annually.

Board approval of advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)

Background—At a meeting of the board of Global High Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) on July 19, 2006, the members of the board, including the directors who are not “interested persons” of the Fund (“Independent Directors”), as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), considered and approved the continuance of the Advisory and Administration Agreement between UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”) and the Fund. In preparing for the meeting, the board members had requested and received extensive information from UBS Global AM to assist them, including performance and expense information for other investment companies with similar investment objectives. The board received and considered a variety of information about UBS Global AM, as well as the advisory and administrative arrangements for the Fund. The Independent Directors discussed the materials initially provided by management prior to the scheduled board meeting in a session with their independent legal counsel and requested, and received from management, supplemental materials to assist them in their consideration of the Advisory and Administration Agreement. The board received materials detailing the administrative services provided to the Fund by UBS Global AM, which include providing accounting and financial analysis, ensuring that all financial and tax regulatory reporting requirements were met, certifying required Securities and Exchange Commission documentation and monitoring the performance of the Fund’s service providers.

The Independent Directors also met for several hours the evening before the board meeting and met again after management’s presentation was completed to review the disclosure that had been made to them at the meeting. At all of these sessions the Independent Directors met in session with their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors also received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the duties of board members in considering approval of advisory and administration agreements.

In its consideration of the approval of the Advisory and Administration Agreement, the board considered the following factors:

Nature, extent and quality of the services under the advisory and administration agreement—The board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of management services provided to the Fund by UBS Global AM and its predecessor, UBS


39

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Board approval of advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)

Global Asset Management (US) Inc., under the Advisory and Administration Agreement (and a predecessor agreement) during the past year. The board also received a description of the administrative and other services rendered to the Fund and its shareholders by UBS Global AM. The board considered the nature, extent and quality of administrative and shareholder services performed by UBS Global AM and its affiliates. The board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with the Fund’s compliance policies and procedures. The board noted that it received information at regular meetings throughout the year regarding the services rendered by UBS Global AM concerning the management of the Fund’s affairs and UBS Global AM’s role in coordinating providers of other services to the Fund, including custody, accounting and transfer agency services. The board’s evaluation of the services provided by UBS Global AM took into account the board’s knowledge and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the scope and quality of UBS Global AM’s investment management and other capabilities and the quality of its administrative and other services. The board observed that the scope of services provided by UBS Global AM had expanded over time as a result of regulatory and other developments, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the Fund’s expanded compliance programs.

The board had available to it the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the Fund’s senior personnel at UBS Global AM and had received information regarding the portfolio management team responsible for the portfolio management of the Fund and recognized that the Fund’s senior personnel at UBS Global AM report to the board regularly, some at every board meeting, and that at each regular meeting the board receives a detailed report on the Fund’s performance. The board also considered, based on its knowledge of UBS Global AM and its affiliates, the financial resources available to UBS Global AM and its parent organization, UBS AG. In that regard, the board received extensive financial information regarding UBS Global AM and noted that it was a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of one of the largest financial services firms in the world. It was also noted that UBS Global AM had well over $100 billion in assets under management and was part of the UBS Global Asset Management Division, which had over $600 billion of assets under management worldwide.

The board reviewed how transactions in Fund assets are effected. The board also reviewed the Fund’s brokerage policies and practices, the standards


40

Board approval of advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)

applied in seeking best execution, policies and practices regarding soft dollars, the use of a broker affiliated with UBS Global AM and the existence of quality controls applicable to brokerage allocation procedures. In addition, UBS Global AM also reported to the board on, among other things, its disaster recovery plans and portfolio manager compensation plan.

The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Fund under the Advisory and Administration Agreement.

Management fees and expense ratios—The board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee (“Contractual Management Fee”) payable by the Fund to UBS Global AM in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management and administrative services provided by UBS Global AM. The board also reviewed and considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for the Fund and considered the actual fee rate (after taking any waivers and reimbursements into account) (the “Actual Management Fee”). Additionally, the board received and considered information comparing the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and overall expenses with those of funds in a group of funds selected and provided by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data (the “Expense Group”). A discussion of the board’s considerations with respect to the Fund’s fees is set forth below.

In connection with its consideration of the Fund’s management fees, the board also received information on UBS Global AM’s standard institutional account fees for accounts of a similar investment type to the Fund. The board noted that, in general, these fees were lower than the Contractual Management Fees and Actual Management Fees for the Fund, but also noted management’s explanation that comparisons with such accounts may be of limited relevance given the different structures and regulatory requirements of funds versus such accounts and the differences in the levels of services required by funds and such accounts. The board also received information on fees charged to other funds managed by UBS Global AM.

The board noted that, beginning August 1, 2005, UBS Global AM’s predecessor had entered into a fee waiver agreement with the Fund, which UBS Global AM has continued. The comparative Lipper information, which did not account for the Fund’s fee waiver agreement


41

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Board approval of advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)

for the entire comparative period, showed that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee were in the fifth quintile, while its total expenses were in the third quintile in the Fund’s Expense Group for the comparison periods utilized in the Lipper report (with the first quintile representing that fifth of the funds in the Expense Group with the lowest level of fees or expenses, as applicable, and the fifth quintile representing that fifth of the funds in the Expense Group with the highest level of fees or expenses, as applicable). The board noted that had the fee waiver been in effect for the entire fiscal year, the Actual Management Fee would have been lower.

Taking all of the above into consideration, the board determined that the management fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Advisory and Administration Agreement.

Fund performance—The board received and considered performance information of the Fund compared to other funds (the “Performance Universe”) selected by Lipper over the one-, three-, five-, ten- and since inception periods (or shorter for newer funds) ended April 30, 2006. The board was provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to determine the similarity of the Fund with the funds included in its Performance Universe. The board noted that it had received information throughout the year at periodic intervals with respect to the Fund’s performance, including in most cases with respect to the Fund’s benchmark index.

The comparative Lipper information showed that the Fund’s performance was in the first quintile for the one-year period, the second quintile for the three-year period, the fourth quintile for the five- and ten-year periods and the third quintile since inception (with the first quintile representing that fifth of the funds in the Performance Universe with the highest performance and the fifth quintile representing that fifth of the funds in the Performance Universe with the lowest performance). Although the Fund’s short-term performance has been impressive, based on UBS Global AM’s recommendation, the board approved removing the Fund’s 20% limitation on non-US dollar investments, which will provide the Fund with greater investment flexibility and potentially could result in enhanced performance by the underlying portfolio by allowing the Fund to take


42

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Board approval of advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)

greater advantage of local market opportunities. Based on its review, the board concluded that the Fund’s investment performance was satisfactory.

Adviser profitability—The board received and considered a profitability analysis of UBS Global AM and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The board also received profitability information with respect to the UBS fund complex as a whole. In addition, the board received information with respect to UBS Global AM’s allocation methodologies used in preparing this profitability data. UBS Global AM’s profitability was considered not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund.

Economies of scale—The board received and considered information from management regarding whether it has achieved economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential realization of further economies of scale. The board considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Fund were being passed along to shareholders.

In conducting its review, the board noted that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee contains breakpoints as a result of the fee waiver.

Generally, in light of UBS Global AM’s profitability data, the Actual Management Fee, the Contractual Management Fee and the breakpoints currently in place for the Fund, the board believed that UBS Global AM’s sharing of potential and current economies of scale with the Fund was acceptable.

Other benefits to UBS Global AM—The board considered other benefits received by UBS Global AM and its affiliates as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including the opportunity to offer additional products and services to Fund shareholders.

In light of the costs of providing investment management, administrative and other services to the Fund and UBS Global AM’s ongoing commitment to the Fund, the profits and other ancillary benefits that UBS Global AM and its affiliates received were considered reasonable.


43

In light of all of the foregoing, the board approved the Advisory and Administration Agreement to continue for another year.

In making its decision, the board identified no single factor as being determinative in approving the Advisory and Administration Agreement. The Independent Directors were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the entire process. The board discussed the proposed continuance of the Advisory and Administration Agreement in a private session with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of UBS Global AM were present.

  (b)   Audit-Related Fees:
      In each of the fiscal years ended October 31, 2006 and October 31, 2005, the aggregate audit-related fees billed by E&Y for services rendered to the registrant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audits of the financial statements, but not reported as audit fees, were approximately $3,773 and $3,712, respectively.
       
      Fees included in the audit-related category are those associated with (1) the reading and providing of comments on the 2006 and 2005 semiannual financial statements, and (2) review of the consolidated 2005 and 2004 report on the profitability of the UBS Funds to UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc. and its affiliates to assist the board members in their annual advisory/administration contract reviews.

  (c)   Tax Fees:
      In each of the fiscal years ended October 31, 2006 and October 31, 2005, the aggregate tax fees billed by E&Y for professional services rendered to the registrant were approximately $4,150 and $12,275, respectively.

      Fees included in the all other fees category would consist of services related to internal control reviews, strategy and other consulting, financial information systems design and implementation, consulting on other information systems, and other tax services unrelated to the registrant.
       
      There were no “all other fees” required to be approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X during the fiscal years indicated above.
         
  (e)   (1)   Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
        The registrant’s Audit Committee (“audit committee”) has adopted an “Audit Committee Charter (Amended and Restated as of May 12, 2004-Revised as of November 6, 2006)” (the “charter”). The charter contains the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures. Reproduced below is an excerpt from the charter regarding pre-approval policies and procedures:

  The [audit] Committee shall:
       
  . . .
       
  2.   Pre-approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services1 to be provided to the Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund’s independent auditors to UBS Global [Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”)] and any Covered Service Providers, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. In carrying out this responsibility, the Committee shall seek periodically from UBS Global [AM] and from the independent auditors a list of such audit and permissible non-audit services that can be expected to be rendered to the Fund, UBS Global [AM] or any Covered Service Providers by the Fund’s independent auditors, and an estimate of the fees sought to be paid in connection with such services. The Committee may delegate its responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and permissible non-audit services to a sub-committee consisting of the Chairperson of the Committee and two other members of the Committee as the Chairperson, from time to

      time, may determine and appoint, and such sub-committee shall report to the Committee, at its next regularly scheduled meeting after the sub-committee’s meeting, its decision(s). From year to year, the Committee shall report to the Board whether this system of pre-approval has been effective and efficient or whether this Charter should be amended to allow for pre-approval pursuant to such policies and procedures as the Committee shall approve, including the delegation of some or all of the Committee’s pre-approval responsibilities to other persons (other than UBS Global [AM] or the Fund’s officers).

 
    1 The Committee will not approve non-audit services that the Committee believes may taint the independence of the auditors. Currently, permissible non-audit services include any professional services (including tax services) that are not prohibited services as described below, provided to the Fund by the independent auditors, other than those provided to the Fund in connection with an audit or a review of the financial statements of the Fund. Permissible non-audit services may not include: (i) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund; (ii) financial information systems design and implementation; (iii) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial services; (v) internal audit outsourcing services; (vi) management functions or human resources; (vii) broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; (viii) legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and (ix) any other service the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.
   
Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund, UBS Global [AM] and any service providers controlling, controlled by or under common control with UBS Global [AM] that provide ongoing services to the Fund (“Covered Service Providers”) constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the independent auditors (during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided) by (a) the Fund, (b) its investment adviser and (c) any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be approved by the Committee; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved by the Committee (or its delegate(s)) prior to the completion of the audit.

           
  (e)   (2)     Services approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X:
           
          Audit-Related Fees:
          There were no amounts that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2006 and October 31, 2005 on behalf of the registrant.
         
There were no amounts that were required to be approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2006 and October 31, 2005 on behalf of the registrant’s service providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant.
         
Tax Fees:
          There were no amounts that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2006 and October 31, 2005 on behalf of the registrant.
         
There were no amounts that were required to be approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2006 and October 31, 2005 on behalf of the registrant’s service providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant.
         
All Other Fees:
          There were no amounts that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2006 and October 31, 2005 on behalf of the registrant.
         
There were no amounts that were required to be approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2006 and October 31, 2005 on behalf of the registrant’s service providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant.

  (f)   According to E&Y, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, the percentage of hours spent on the audit of the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons who are not full-time, permanent employees of E&Y was 0%.
 
(g)
 
For the fiscal years ended October 31, 2006 and October 31, 2005, the aggregate fees billed by E&Y of $403,038 and $ 69,487, respectively, for non-audit services rendered on behalf of the registrant (“covered”), its investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser (“non-covered”) that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant is shown in the table below:

      2006   2005
  Covered Services   $7,923   $15,987
  Non-Covered Services   395,115   53,500

 
(h)
 
The registrant’s audit committee was not required to consider whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

The registrant has a separately designated standing audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Audit Committee is comprised of the following board members: Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Bernikow, Mr. Burt, Mr. Garil and Ms. Higgins.

Item 6. Schedule of Investments.

Included as part of the report to shareholders filed under Item 1 of this form.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

The registrant’s Board of Directors believes that the voting of proxies on securities held by the registrant is an important element of the overall investment process. As such, the Board has delegated the responsibility to vote such proxies to the registrant’s advisor. Following is a summary of the proxy voting policy of the advisor.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PHILOSOPHY, VOTING GUIDELINES AND POLICY SUMMARY

The proxy voting policy of UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”) is based on its belief that voting rights have economic value and must be treated accordingly. Generally, UBS Global AM expects the boards of directors of companies issuing securities held by its clients to act as stewards of the financial assets of the company, to exercise good judgment and practice diligent oversight with the management of the company. While there is no absolute set of rules that determines appropriate corporate governance under all circumstances and no set of rules will guarantee ethical behavior, there are certain benchmarks, which, if substantial progress is made toward, give evidence of good corporate governance. UBS Global AM may delegate to an independent proxy voting and research service the authority to exercise the voting rights associated with certain client holdings. Any such delegation shall be made with the direction that the votes be exercised in accordance with UBS Global AM’s proxy voting policy.

When UBS Global AM’s view of a company’s management is favorable, UBS Global AM generally supports current management initiatives. When UBS Global AM’s view is that changes to the management structure would probably increase shareholder value, UBS Global AM may not support existing management proposals. In general, UBS Global AM (1) opposes proposals which act to entrench management; (2) believes that boards should be independent of company management and composed of persons with requisite skills, knowledge and experience; (3) opposes structures which impose financial constraints on changes in control; (4) believes remuneration should be commensurate with responsibilities and performance; and (5) believes that appropriate steps should be taken to ensure the independence of auditors.


UBS Global AM has implemented procedures designed to identify whether it has a conflict of interest in voting a particular proxy proposal, which may arise as a result of its or its affiliates’ client relationships, marketing efforts or banking and broker/dealer activities. To address such conflicts, UBS Global AM has imposed information barriers between it and its affiliates who conduct banking, investment banking and broker/dealer activities and has implemented procedures to prevent business, sales and marketing issues from influencing our proxy votes. Whenever UBS Global AM is aware of a conflict with respect to a particular proxy, its appropriate local corporate governance committee is required to review and agree to the manner in which such proxy is voted.

Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

  (a)  (1)   Name – Uwe Schillhorn
      Title – Vice President
      Length of Service – Since 2004

         Business Experience Last 5 Years – Mr. Schillhorn is an executive director and head of emerging markets debt (since 2004) of UBS Global AM. Mr. Schillhorn is a vice president of two investment companies (consisting of two portfolios) for which UBS Global AM or one of its affiliates serves as investment advisor, sub-advisor or manager.
   
  Information is as of – December 29, 2006

  (a)  (2) (i) Portfolio Manager
 
                 Uwe Schillhorn
 

  (a) (2) (ii) (A) Registered Investment Companies  

         The portfolio manager is responsible for two additional Registered Investment Companies having $338,851,033 in total assets as of October 31, 2006.

  (a) (2) (ii) (B) Other Pooled Investment Vehicles  

  The portfolio manager is responsible for four other pooled investment vehicles having $940,260,955 in total assets as of October 31, 2006.

  (a) (2) (ii) (C) Other Accounts  

  The portfolio manager is responsible for seventeen other accounts having $2,789,602,112 in total assets as of October 31, 2006.

  (a) (2) (iii) Accounts with respect to which an advisory fee is based on the performance of the account.

  None

  (a) (2) (iv) Conflicts.

                The management of the registrant and other accounts by a portfolio manager could result in potential conflicts of interest if the registrant and other accounts have different objectives, benchmarks and fees because the portfolio manager and his team must allocate time and investment expertise across multiple accounts, including the registrant. The portfolio manager and his team manage the registrant and other accounts utilizing an approach that groups similar accounts by characteristics and objectives. The Advisor manages accounts according to their respective objectives, including where possible, those accounts that have specific investment restrictions. Accordingly, portfolio holdings, position sizes, and industry and sector exposures tend to be similar across accounts, which may minimize the potential for conflicts of interest.
                If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity that may be suitable for more than one account, the registrant may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible portfolios and accounts. To deal with these situations, the Advisor has adopted procedures for allocating portfolio trades across multiple accounts to provide fair treatment to all accounts.
                The management of personal accounts by a portfolio manager may also give rise to potential conflicts of interest. The Advisor and the registrant have adopted a Code of Ethics that governs such personal trading, but there is no assurance that the Code will adequately address all such conflicts.
                (Information in Item 8(a)(2) is provided as of the Registrant’s fiscal year end of October 31, 2006.)
       
  (a)   (3) Compensation.

             The compensation received by portfolio managers at UBS Global AM, including Mr. Schilhorn, includes a base salary and incentive compensation as detailed below. Overall compensation can be grouped into three categories: base salary, annual bonuses and UBS AG equity. Base salary is fixed compensation used to recognize the experience, skills and knowledge that the investment professionals bring to their roles. Annual bonuses are correlated with performance and are based on three components: 1) the firm’s overall business success; 2) the performance of the respective asset class and/or investment mandate; and 3) an individual’s specific contribution to the firm’s results. Senior investment professionals may receive a portion of their annual performance-based incentive in the form of deferred or restricted UBS AG shares or employee stock options. Broader equity share ownership is encouraged for all employees through “Equity Plus.” This long-term incentive program gives employees the opportunity to purchase UBS stock with after-tax funds from their bonus or salary. Two UBS stock options are given for each share acquired and held for two years. The performance related component of the portfolio manager’s bonus is based on the performance of the funds he manages as compared to each fund’s broad-based index over one, two and three year periods. With respect to the Registrant, the benchmark in effect as of December 2006 is a blended benchmark composed of 70% of JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index-Global Index and 30% JP Morgan Government Bond Index-Emerging Markets Diversified (in USD).

      (Information in Item 8(a)(3) is provided as of the Registrant’s fiscal year end of October 31, 2006, except as otherwise noted.)

  (a)   (4) Dollar Range of Securities of Registrant Beneficially Owned by Portfolio Manager.  

  None

  (Information in Item 8(a)(4) is provided as of the Registrant’s fiscal year end of October 31, 2006.)

Item 9. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers.

There were no purchases made by or on behalf of the Registrant or any “affiliated purchaser,” as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of shares of the Registrant’s equity securities made in the period covered by this report.

Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

The registrant’s Board has established a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders if a vacancy occurs among those board members who are not “interested persons” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In order to recommend a nominee, a shareholder should send a letter to the chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Richard R.
