Fellow Shareholders

In the second half of 2005, a strong U.S. dollar weakened returns in non-U.S. developed bond markets. Emerging markets bonds, however, posted strong results, extending their multiyear streak of outstanding performance. Federal Reserve and European Central Bank (ECB) monetary policy tightening led to higher U.S. and European bond yields, particularly among shorter-dated maturities. Japanese government bond yields also rose on growing evidence of a self-sustaining economic recovery and expectations that its lengthy period of deflation will end. Political stability, steady economic growth, and improving inflation trends supported strong emerging markets bond returns.

For the period ended December 31, 2005, the International Bond Fund posted a six-month return of -2.65% and a 12-month return of -8.18%. For both periods, the fund slightly outperformed the Lehman Brothers Global Aggregate Ex-U.S. Dollar Bond Index benchmark. (Performance for the fund’s Advisor Class shares, which have a different fee structure, were similar.) Although 2005 was a disappointing year for the fund primarily because of the dollar’s unforeseen strength, U.S. investors should remember that the primary reason for investing in the fund is that they can benefit from potentially higher yields than those in the U.S. Foreign bond markets often move independently of one another and the U.S. markets. Since buying foreign bonds can be difficult and costly for individual investors, this fund gives them access to many foreign markets that few investors have the time, expertise, or resources to evaluate effectively on their own.

The Emerging Markets Bond Fund outperformed its benchmark, the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, the fund returned 7.96%, compared with 5.35% for the benchmark, and for the 12-month period, the fund posted a gain of 17.26%, compared with the benchmark’s 10.73% increase. This year’s results are gratifying, and Lipper ranks our one-year performance as the best of the 48 emerging markets debt funds. (Our rankings for other time periods ended December 31, 2005, are: 7 out of 45 for the three-year period, 19 out of 39 for the five-year period, and 7 out of 13 for the 10-year period.) Remember that past performance cannot guarantee future results.

We also want to inform you that the International Bond Fund and the Emerging Markets Bond Fund have been authorized to invest in interest rate and credit default swaps, which allow for flexibility in managing the portfolios. These swaps, which other T. Rowe Price funds are authorized to use, can give the funds access to local interest rates without actually purchasing the bonds and increase flexibility in smaller, illiquid foreign markets.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Federal Reserve tightening, steady economic growth, and inflation fears in the late summer drove U.S. Treasury bond prices lower. By the end of 2005, the Fed raised its overnight lending rate by a total of 200 basis points (100 basis points equals 1%) to 4.25%. While these interest rate increases were expected, investors reacted more bearishly to Fed policymakers’ comments that referred to higher inflation risks following a spike in energy prices in the late summer.

Economic data, particularly in the manufacturing sector, remained resilient. Moreover, oil prices fell from their record highs and helped to ease inflation concerns. By December, the Fed removed the word “accommodation” from the description of its monetary policy statement. In response, investors expect the Fed’s tightening cycle to end sometime this year.

In the corporate bond markets, there was concern when credit rating agencies downgraded U.S. automakers GM and Ford in the spring, but the market absorbed the rating change with little lasting effect. Global credit quality improved in investment-grade and speculative issues, with upgrades strongly outpacing downgrades in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Credit spreads tightened, and investors in search of higher yields began to bid up lower-quality issues.

As growth expectations improved in Europe, investor sentiment shifted decisively in the second half of the year. Rising external demand, helped by a weaker euro, supported gains in manufacturing—especially in Germany—and business surveys reported a marked rise in confidence levels. The ECB became more concerned about the inflation outlook, particularly as energy prices rose to record levels. The central bank raised interest rates by 25 basis points at its December 2005 meeting but reassured investors that it would not embark on an aggressive tightening cycle.

After 15 years of slow growth, deflation, and several recoveries that lacked staying power, Japan’s latest economic data pointed to a more durable recovery. Employment and domestic consumption improved, and the weakness in the yen boosted exports to the U.S. and China. Markets began to anticipate the end of the Bank of Japan zero interest rate policy. Japan’s Ministry of Finance also announced its first reduction of debt sales in nine years, which bolstered longer maturities.

Although most of the world’s fixed-income markets posted positive returns in local currencies, the strong dollar meant that returns for dollar-based investors were generally negative. Despite months of record-setting U.S. trade and budget deficits, higher short-term interest rates and relatively strong economic growth in the U.S. supported the dollar against both the euro and Japanese yen. The yen also weakened against the euro, as Japanese investors increased their appetite for foreign-denominated securities.

Emerging markets bonds remained buoyant thanks to investors seeking higher yields and the improved creditworthiness of many developing countries. The difference in interest rates paid on emerging market credits and U.S. Treasuries continued to narrow. Easing monetary policies, ratings upgrades, and debt buybacks supported the issues of a number of countries, and high energy prices helped to underpin countries that are net exporters of petroleum.

Credit markets in Asia performed well. As political tensions eased and the government made progress toward implementing a sales tax hike that would help reduce the country’s fiscal deficit, the Philippines was one of the strongest performers in the index for the six-month period. S&P improved Vietnam’s credit outlook, and a new $750 million 10-year issue attracted a heavy volume of investor interest. Serbia was upgraded, and Turkey’s improving prospects for entry into the European Union helped its bond issues.

In Latin America, central bank rate cuts, improving inflation trends, and a strong balance of payments helped Brazilian bond markets to recover from the political bribery scandals that had dominated the news earlier in the year. Considerably improved inflation data helped Mexico’s central bank cut rates much more than the market expected.

INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND

As mentioned earlier, the strong dollar was a key negative influence affecting international fixed-income market performance and your fund’s returns. A rise in bond yields also impeded performance. In the second half of 2005, our overweight position relative to the benchmark in peso-denominated Mexican bonds was the largest contributor to performance. Mexico’s improving inflation data and the Bank of Mexico’s rate cutting buoyed the country’s bonds. In addition, these bonds had a wide yield spread when compared with U.S. Treasuries and generated a large demand from international investors. We maintain this holding because we believe it is attractively valued and the market expects the Bank of Mexico to cut rates further.

Our underweight position in Japanese government bonds helped relative performance. Signs that Japan’s economic recovery will be self-sustaining drove yields up and bond prices down. Yield curve positioning in the European bond market was also helpful to performance. We held an overweight position in the 30-year sector against an underweight position in the 10-year sector. Strong demand from pension funds for long-term bonds supported the values of longer-dated issues.

One of the fund’s largest country detractors was our underweight holding of U.K. gilts (government bonds). We consider that valuations in the long end of the U.K. market are expensive, and we intend to maintain an underweight position.

Currency selection—primarily in the fund’s Asian exposures—detracted from relative returns. The largest currency detractor was an overweight position in the Japanese yen versus the euro. Despite the Japanese economy’s stronger growth, the yen weakened as domestic investors’ risk appetite for foreign-denominated assets increased. As a risk reduction measure, we eliminated the position.

An underweight position in the Canadian dollar, held first against the Taiwanese dollar and later against the Malaysian ringgit, was another detractor from relative performance. Economic growth expectations in Taiwan and Malaysia slowed in the second half of the year, and the Canadian dollar benefited from higher energy prices and central bank interest rate increases. We eliminated the currency positions in Taiwan and Malaysia and replaced them with a position in the Chinese yuan. China’s economic growth remains solid, and we expect the yuan to mildly appreciate as the Chinese authorities loosen their controls over the yuan and allow it to float against other currencies.

In Latin America, the Argentine peso detracted from relative returns. The Argentine peso weakened on a mix of profit taking and unsettling political news. Elsewhere in emerging markets, overweight positions in the Turkish lira and Israeli shekel were positive contributors.

Our duration in developed government bond markets is shorter than the benchmark’s. (A shorter duration typically means lower interest rate sensitivity.) The portfolio’s duration ended the period at 4.8 years, slightly shorter than it was six months ago and slightly more than one year shorter than the benchmark duration of 5.8 years. Relative to the index, we are underweight in Japanese government bonds, which we think are expensive in light of the country’s improving economy. We are also underweight in government bonds in the euro region. Outside of major markets, we have searched for relative value opportunities. We recently initiated a small overweight position in the Israeli government market, taking advantage of cheaper bond yield valuations. Improvement in the country’s fiscal situation should support Israeli government bonds. We also are diversifying our emerging markets exposure by adding bonds from Lebanon and Russia.

The fund’s credit quality remained high. More than 70% of our holdings were rated AA or higher. We have a healthy balance in cash or cash equivalents to take advantage of any increase in short-term rates.

EMERGING MARKETS BOND FUND

Emerging markets bonds continued to post solid results. Steady global economic growth coupled with improving inflation trends provided a good environment for emerging market debt. The asset class also continued to see strong demand from investors seeking higher yields.

With improvements in Asian economies and strong investor demand, the region’s bonds generated strong results for the second half. Overweight exposures to the Philippines, Vietnam, and Lebanon helped the fund outperform the benchmark. In the Philippines, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo consolidated her position and committed the country to ongoing economic and political reform. In addition, an increase to the country’s value-added tax was approved for 2006; the additional revenue is expected to help reduce the government’s budgetary deficit. Vietnam and Lebanon traded higher on prospects for economic reform and potential credit quality rating upgrades.

In Europe, Serbia, the fund’s second-largest holding, received a credit rating upgrade after reducing its fiscal deficit. Local exposure to Turkey, another top holding, helped boost our relative return. The improved prospects for Turkey’s entry into the E.U. drove the Turkish bond market higher.

Mexican and Brazilian bonds denominated in local currencies added to our relative returns. The Brazilian central bank cut interest rates by a total of 175 basis points (100 basis points equals 1%), as the underlying economic growth rate slowed and inflation trends declined. Bond prices were boosted by expectations that the central bank will cut rates further.

An overweight position in Jamaica hurt our returns. Lagging export growth hurt tax revenues and foreign exchange reserves and disappointed investors. We believe valuations remain attractive, and the medium-term outlook for the country looks favorable. Although our overweight in Argentina hurt returns, our security selection contributed. The departure of Argentina’s finance minister, a strong proponent of economic reform, and investor profit taking caused a sharp sell-off during November.

In 2005, we purchased more bonds denominated in local currencies. We anticipate that local currency bonds will become more prevalent in emerging markets as governments borrow less in foreign currencies. This trend should deepen emerging economies’ domestic currency markets.

Our strategy remains focused on fundamental credit analysis and establishing high-conviction positions where warranted. We remain less focused on near-term trading events and prefer to build a diverse portfolio of longer-term positions. This approach is more appropriate to our fundamental investment style and enables usto hold down turnover and trading costs.

OUTLOOK

We expect global bond yields to rise modestly and believe that longer-dated maturities should outperform in the U.S. and Europe. We expect the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by another 50 basis points in 2006, as the risks between growth and inflation are brought into balance. Although further ECB rate hikes are likely, we do not expect a series of interest rate raises. The recovery in Japan seems self-sustaining, which should prompt a monetary policy change later in 2006. Improving economics and rate tightening policies in Europe and Japan along with the Fed ending its tightening cycle are likely to contribute to dollar weakness, which should benefit investors in nondollar-denominated funds.

Political elections in 2006 and tighter global conditions may lead to increased risks for emerging markets bonds, but strong fundamentals continue to support these securities. The economic reforms and improved fiscal stability among a number of emerging countries bode well for the longer-term outlook. In addition, there is a structural demand for this asset class from long-term investors. These factors are supportive, and we believe that emerging markets will remain a fertile ground for investors.

RISKS OF INTERNATIONAL BOND INVESTING

Funds that invest overseas generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. assets, including unpredictable changes in currency values. Investments in emerging markets are subject to abrupt and severe price declines and should be regarded as speculative. The economic and political structures of developing nations, in most cases, do not compare favorably with the U.S. or other developed countries in terms of wealth and stability, and their financial markets often lack liquidity. Some countries also have legacies of hyperinflation, currency devaluations, and governmental interference in markets.

International investments are subject to currency risk, a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency. The overall impact on a fund’s holdings can be significant and long lasting depending on the currencies represented in the portfolio, how each one appreciates or depreciates in relation to the U.S. dollar, and whether currency positions are hedged. Further, exchange rate movements are unpredictable and it is not possible to effectively hedge the currency risks of many developing countries.

Bonds are also subject to interest rate risk, the decline in bond prices that usually accompanies a rise in interest rates, and credit risk, the chance that any fund holding could have its credit rating downgraded, or that a bond issuer will default (fail to make timely payments of interest or principal), potentially reducing the fund’s income level and share price.

GLOSSARY

Average maturity: For a bond fund, this is the weighted average of the stated maturity dates of the portfolio’s securities. In general, the longer the average maturity, the greater the fund’s sensitivity to interest rate changes, which can mean greater price fluctuation. A shorter average maturity usually means less interest rate sensitivity and, consequently, a less volatile portfolio.

Basis point: One one-hundredth of one percentage point, or 0.01%.

Duration: A measure of a bond’s or bond fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. For example, a fund with a duration of six years would fall about 6% in response to a one-percentage point rise in rates, and vice versa.

J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global: Tracks U.S. dollar government bonds of 31 foreign countries.

Lehman Brothers Global Aggregate Ex-U.S. Dollar Bond Index: Tracks an international basket of bonds that contains 65% government, 14% corporate, 13% agency, and 8% mortgage-related bonds.

Yield curve: A graphic depiction of the relationship between yields and maturity dates for a set of similar securities, such as Treasuries or municipal securities. Securities with longer maturities usually have a higher yield. If short-term securities offer a higher yield, then the curve is said to be “inverted.” If short- and long-term bonds are offering equivalent yields, then the curve is said to be “flat.”

FUND EXPENSE EXAMPLE 

As a mutual fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs such as redemption fees or sales loads and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the most recent six-month period and held for the entire period.

Please note that the International Bond Fund has two share classes: The original share class (“investor class”) charges no distribution and service (12b-1) fee. Advisor Class shares are offered only through unaffiliated brokers and other financial intermediaries and charge a 0.25% 12b-1 fee. Each share class is presented separately in the table.

Actual Expenses
The first line of the following table (“Actual”) provides information about actual account values and expenses based on the fund’s actual returns. You may use the information in this line, together with your account balance, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information on the second line of the table (“Hypothetical”) is based on hypothetical account values and expenses derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the fund’s actual return). You may compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Note: T. Rowe Price charges an annual small-account maintenance fee of $10, generally for accounts with less than $2,000 ($500 for UGMA/UTMA). The fee is waived for any investor whose T. Rowe Price mutual fund accounts total $25,000 or more, accounts employing automatic investing, and IRAs and other retirement plan accounts that utilize a prototype plan sponsored by T. Rowe Price (although a separate custodial or administrative fee may apply to such accounts). This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.

You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. To the extent a fund charges transaction costs, however, the total cost of owning that fund is higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). The Emerging Markets Bond Fund (the fund), a nondiversified, open-end management investment company, is one portfolio established by the corporation. The fund commenced operations on December 30, 1994. The fund seeks to provide high income and capital appreciation.

The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of estimates made by fund management. Fund management believes that estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the financial statements may differ from the value the fund ultimately realizes upon sale of the securities.

Valuation The fund values its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the NYSE is open for business. Debt securities are generally traded in the over-the-counter market. Securities with original maturities of one year or more are valued at prices furnished by dealers who make markets in such securities or by an independent pricing service, which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type, as well as prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such securities. Securities with original maturities of less than one year are stated at fair value, which is determined by using a matrix system that establishes a value for each security based on bid-side money market yields.

Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted sale price or, for certain markets, the official closing price at the time the valuations are made, except for OTC Bulletin Board securities, which are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices. A security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Listed securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices for domestic securities and the last quoted sale price for international securities.

Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund’s closing net asset value per share on the day of valuation. Financial futures contracts are valued at closing settlement prices. Forward currency exchange contracts are valued using the prevailing forward exchange rate.

Other investments, including restricted securities, and those for which the above valuation procedures are inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair value as determined in good faith by the T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee, established by the fund’s Board of Directors.

Most foreign markets close before the close of trading on the NYSE. If the fund determines that developments between the close of a foreign market and the close of the NYSE will, in its judgment, materially affect the value of some or all of its portfolio securities, which in turn will affect the fund’s share price, the fund will adjust the previous closing prices to reflect the fair value of the securities as of the close of the NYSE, as determined in good faith by the T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee, established by the fund’s Board of Directors. A fund may also fair value securities in other situations, such as when a particular foreign market is closed but the fund is open. In deciding whether to make fair value adjustments, the fund reviews a variety of factors, including developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities. The fund uses outside pricing services to provide it with closing market prices and information used for adjusting those prices. The fund cannot predict when and how often it will use closing prices and when it will adjust those prices to reflect fair value. As a means of evaluating its fair value process, the fund routinely compares closing market prices, the next day’s opening prices in the same markets, and adjusted prices.

Currency Translation Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate, using the mean of the bid and asked prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars as quoted by a major bank. Purchases and sales of securities, income, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on realized and unrealized security gains and losses is reflected as a component of security gains and losses.

Credits The fund earns credits on temporarily uninvested cash balances at the custodian that reduce the fund’s custody charges. Custody expense in the accompanying financial statements is presented before reduction for credits, which are reflected as expenses paid indirectly.

Redemption Fees A 2% fee is assessed on redemptions of fund shares held less than 90 days/3 months to deter short-term trading and protect the interests of long-term shareholders. Redemption fees are withheld from proceeds that shareholders receive from the sale or exchange of fund shares. The fees are paid to the fund, and are recorded as an increase to paid-in capital. The fees may cause the redemption price per share to differ from the net asset value per share.

Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Distributions Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes. Dividends received from mutual fund investments are reflected as dividend income; capital gain distributions are reflected as realized gain/loss. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Payments (“variation margin”) made or received to settle the daily fluctuations in the value of futures contracts are recorded as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. Unsettled variation margin on futures contracts is reflected as other assets or liabilities, and unrealized gains and losses on futures contracts are reflected as the change in net unrealized gain or loss in the accompanying financial statements. Unrealized gains and losses on forward currency exchange contracts are reflected as the change in net unrealized gain or loss in the accompanying financial statements. Paydown gains and losses are recorded as an adjustment to interest income. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions are declared on a daily basis and paid monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid by the fund, typically on an annual basis.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following practices to manage exposure to certain risks or enhance performance. The investment objective, policies, program, and risk factors of the fund are described more fully in the fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

Emerging Markets At December 31, 2005, approximately 95% of the fund’s net assets were invested in securities of companies located in emerging markets, issued by governments of emerging market countries, or denominated in or linked to the currencies of emerging market countries. Future economic or political developments could adversely affect the liquidity or value, or both, of such securities.

Noninvestment-Grade Debt Securities At December 31, 2005, approximately 68% of the fund’s net assets were invested in noninvestment-grade debt securities, commonly referred to as “high-yield” or “junk” bonds. A real or perceived economic downturn or higher interest rates could adversely affect the liquidity or value, or both, of such securities because such events could lessen the ability of issuers to make principal and interest payments.

Restricted Securities The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Although certain of these securities may be readily sold, for example, under Rule 144A, others may be illiquid, their sale may involve substantial delays and additional costs, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts During the year ended December 31, 2005, the fund was a party to forward currency exchange contracts under which it is obligated to exchange currencies at specified future dates and exchange rates. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their agreements and from movements in currency values.

Futures Contracts During the year ended December 31, 2005, the fund was a party to futures contracts, which provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another of a specified amount of a specific financial instrument at an agreed upon price, date, time, and place. Risks arise from possible illiquidity of the futures market and from movements in security values and/or interest rates.

Securities Lending The fund lends its securities to approved brokers to earn additional income. It receives as collateral cash and U.S. government securities valued at 102% to 105% of the value of the securities on loan. Cash collateral is invested in a money market pooled account managed by the fund’s lending agent in accordance with investment guidelines approved by fund management. Collateral is maintained over the life of the loan in an amount not less than the value of loaned securities, as determined at the close of fund business each day; any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is delivered to the fund the next business day. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and a possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the securities. Securities lending revenue recognized by the fund consists of earnings on invested collateral and borrowing fees, net of any rebates to the borrower and compensation to the lending agent. At December 31, 2005, the value of loaned securities was $119,631,000; aggregate collateral consisted of $123,563,000 in the money market pooled account.

Other Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $301,349,000 and $176,116,000, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2005.

NOTE 3 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income and gains. Federal income tax regulations differ from generally accepted accounting principles; therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences.

Distributions during the year ended December 31, 2005 were characterized as follows for tax purposes:

At December 31, 2005, the tax-basis components of net assets were as follows:

Federal income tax regulations require the fund to defer recognition of capital losses realized on certain futures and forward currency exchange contract transactions; accordingly, $681,000 of realized losses reflected in the accompanying financial statements have not been recognized for tax purposes as of December 31, 2005. Federal income tax regulations require the fund to treat the gain/loss on passive foreign investment companies and certain open futures and forward currency exchange contracts as realized on the last day of the tax year; accordingly, $1,727,000 of unrealized gains reflected in the accompanying financial statements were realized for tax purposes as of December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2005, tax-basis undistributed ordinary income includes $759,000 of interest income on troubled debt issues that has not been recognized for financial reporting purposes.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, the fund recorded the following permanent reclassifications to reflect tax character. Reclassifications to paid-in capital relate primarily to a tax practice that treats a portion of the proceeds from each redemption of capital shares as a distribution of taxable net investment income and/or realized capital gain. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

At December 31, 2005, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $556,354,000.

NOTE 4 - FOREIGN TAXES

The fund is subject to foreign income taxes imposed by certain countries in which it invests. Foreign income taxes are accrued by the fund as a reduction of income.

The fund is subject to a tax on net profits imposed by Turkey. The tax is payable annually and is computed on aggregate interest income, net realized gains, and, in the case of debt securities issued by the Turkish government, any net increase in unrealized gains during the year. Realized and unrealized losses in excess of current year income and gains may be carried forward for five years to offset future income and gains. The tax expense on interest is accrued as a reduction of income and the tax expense or benefit on gains is included with realized and/or unrealized gain/loss on securities in the accompanying financial statements. At December 31, 2005, the fund had Turkish taxes payable in the amount of $182,000 and no capital loss carryforwards.

Gains realized upon distributions of certain Brazilian debt securities held by the fund are subject to capital gains tax in Brazil, payable prior to repatriation of sale proceeds. Accordingly, the fund records such tax payments as a reduction to realized gains and records a deferred tax liability for unrealized gains on Brazilian bonds, when applicable, within the change in unrealized appreciation on securities in the accompanying financial statements. At December 31, 2005, the fund had a deferred tax liability of $8,000.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price International, Inc. (the manager), a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates), which is wholly owned by T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. The investment management agreement between the fund and the manager provides for an annual investment management fee, which is computed daily and paid monthly. The fee consists of an individual fund fee, equal to 0.45% of the fund’s average daily net assets, and a group fee. The group fee rate is calculated based on the combined net assets of certain mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates (the group) applied to a graduated fee schedule, with rates ranging from 0.48% for the first $1 billion of assets to 0.29% for assets in excess of $160 billion. Prior to May 1, 2005, the maximum group fee rate in the graduated fee schedule had been 0.295% for assets in excess of $120 billion. The fund’s group fee is determined by applying the group fee rate to the fund’s average daily net assets. At December 31, 2005, the effective annual group fee rate was 0.31%.

In addition, the fund has entered into service agreements with Price Associates and two wholly owned subsidiaries of Price Associates (collectively, Price). Price Associates computes the daily share price and maintains the financial records of the fund. T. Rowe Price Services, Inc., provides shareholder and administrative services in its capacity as the fund’s transfer and dividend disbursing agent. T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc., provides subaccounting and recordkeeping services for certain retirement accounts invested in the fund. For the year ended December 31, 2005, expenses incurred pursuant to these service agreements were $126,000 for Price Associates, $252,000 for T. Rowe Price Services, Inc., and $17,000 for T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. The total amount payable at period end pursuant to these service agreements is reflected as Due to Affiliates in the accompanying financial statements.

The fund is also one of several mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates (underlying Price funds) in which the T. Rowe Price Spectrum Funds (Spectrum Funds) may invest. The Spectrum Funds do not invest in the underlying Price funds for the purpose of exercising management or control. Pursuant to a special servicing agreement, expenses associated with the operation of the Spectrum Funds are borne by each underlying Price fund to the extent of estimated savings to it and in proportion to the average daily value of its shares owned by the Spectrum Funds. Expenses allocated under this agreement are reflected as shareholder servicing expense in the accompanying financial statements. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the fund was allocated $175,000 of Spectrum Funds’ expenses, of which $110,000 related to services provided by Price. The amount payable at period end pursuant to this agreement is reflected as Due to Affiliates in the accompanying financial statements. At December 31, 2005, approximately 22% of the outstanding shares of the fund were held by the Spectrum Funds.

The fund may invest in the T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Fund and the T. Rowe Price Government Reserve Investment Fund (collectively, the T. Rowe Price Reserve Funds), open-end management investment companies managed by Price Associates and affiliates of the fund. The T. Rowe Price Reserve Funds are offered as cash management options to mutual funds, trusts, and other accounts managed by Price Associates and/or its affiliates, and are not available for direct purchase by members of the public. The T. Rowe Price Reserve Funds pay no investment management fees. During the year ended December 31, 2005, dividend income from the T. Rowe Price Reserve Funds totaled $487,000, and the value of shares of the T. Rowe Price Reserve Funds held at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $17,712,000 and $8,007,000, respectively.

As of December 31, 2005, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. and/or its wholly owned subsidiaries owned 119,458 shares of the fund, representing less than 1% of the fund’s net assets.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

To the Board of Directors of T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. and Shareholders of T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Bond Fund

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Bond Fund (one of the portfolios comprising T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2005, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and by agreement to the underlying ownership records for the T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR, applicable to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of this code of ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR. No substantive amendments were approved or waivers were granted to this code of ethics during the period covered by this report.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant’s Board of Directors/Trustees has determined that Mr. Donald W. Dick Jr. qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Mr. Dick is considered independent for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

(a) – (d) Aggregate fees billed to the registrant for the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the registrant’s principal accountant were as follows:

	2005	2004
Audit Fees	$12,262	$11,457
Audit-Related Fees	788	1,600
Tax Fees	3,483	3,107
All Other Fees	393	-

Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. Audit-related fees include amounts reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and specifically include the issuance of a report on internal controls. Tax fees include amounts related to services for tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice. The nature of these services specifically includes the review of distribution calculations and the preparation of Federal, state, and excise tax returns. All other fees include the registrant’s pro-rata share of amounts for agreed-upon procedures in conjunction with service contract approvals by the registrant’s Board of Directors/Trustees.

(e)(1) The registrant’s audit committee has adopted a policy whereby audit and non-audit services performed by the registrant’s principal accountant for the registrant, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant require pre-approval in advance at regularly scheduled audit committee meetings. If such a service is required between regularly scheduled audit committee meetings, pre-approval may be authorized by one audit committee member with ratification at the next scheduled audit committee meeting. Waiver of pre-approval for audit or non-audit services requiring fees of a de minimis amount is not permitted.

    (2) No services included in (b) – (d) above were approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Less than 50 percent of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

(g) The aggregate fees billed for the most recent fiscal year and the preceding fiscal year by the registrant’s principal accountant for non-audit services rendered to the registrant, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant were $1,008,000 and $903,000, respectively, and were less than the aggregate fees billed for those same periods by the registrant’s principal accountant for audit services rendered to the T. Rowe Price Funds.

(h) All non-audit services rendered in (g) above were pre-approved by the registrant’s audit committee. Accordingly, these services were considered by the registrant’s audit committee in maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

EX-99.CODE ETH

CODE OF ETHICS FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND SENIOR FINANCIAL     

OFFICERS OF THE PRICE FUNDS     

UNDER THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002     

I. General Statement. This Code of Ethics (the “Price Funds S-O Code”) has been designed 

to bring the Price Funds into compliance with the applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley 

Act of 2002 (the “Act”) rules promulgated by The Securities and Exchange Commission 

thereunder (“Regulations”). The Price Funds S-O Code applies solely to the Principal 

Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer or Controller of, or 

persons performing similar functions for, a Price Fund (whether such persons are employed by a 

Price Fund or third party) (“Covered Officers”). The “Price Funds” shall include each mutual 

fund that is managed, sponsored and distributed by affiliates of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. 

(“Group”). The investment managers to the Price Funds will be referred to as the “Price Fund 

Advisers.” A list of Covered Officers is attached as Exhibit A. 

The Price Fund Advisers have, along with their parent, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (“Group”) 

also maintained a comprehensive Code of Ethics and Conduct (the “Group Code”) since 1972, 

which applies to all officers, directors and employees of the Price Funds, Group and its affiliates. 

As mandated by the Act, Group has adopted a Code (the “Group S-O Code”), similar to the 

Price Funds S-O Code, which applies solely to its principal executive and senior financial 

officers. The Group S-O Code and the Price Funds S-O Code will be referred to collectively as 

the “S-O Codes”. 

The Price Funds S-O Code has been adopted by the Price Funds in accordance with the Act and 

Regulations thereunder and will be administered in conformity with the disclosure requirements 

of Item 2 of Form N-CSR. The S-O Codes are attachments to the Group Code. In many respects 

the S-O Codes are supplementary to the Group Code, but the Group Code is administered 

separately from the S-O Codes, as the S-O Codes are from each other. 

II. Purpose of the Price Funds S-O Code. The purpose of the Price Funds S-O Code, as 

mandated by the Act and the Regulations, is to establish standards that are reasonably designed 

to deter wrongdoing and to promote: 

             Ethical Conduct. Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or 

             apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships. 

             Disclosure. Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and 

             documents that the Price Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public 

             communications made by the Price Funds. 

             Compliance. Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. 

             Reporting of Violations. The prompt internal reporting of violations of the Price Funds 

             S-O Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Price Funds S-O Code. 

             Accountability. Accountability for adherence to the Price Funds S-O Code. 

III. Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest. 

Overview. Each Covered Officer owes a duty to the Price Funds to adhere to a high standard of 

honesty and business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as 

well as apparent conflicts of interest. 

A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes with the 

interests of, or his or her service to, the Price Funds. For example, a conflict of interest would 

arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits 

as a result of his or her position with a Price Fund. 

Certain conflicts of interest covered by the Price Funds S-O Code arise out of the relationships 

between Covered Officers and the Price Funds and may already be subject to provisions 

regulating conflicts of interest in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Investment Company 

Act”), the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Investment Advisers Act”) and the Group Code. 

For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the 

purchase or sale of securities or other property) with a Price Fund because of their status as 

“affiliated persons” of a Price Fund. The compliance programs and procedures of the Price 

Funds and Price Fund Advisers are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of 

these provisions. 

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise 

from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between a Price Fund and its Price Fund 

Adviser (and its affiliates) of which the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees. As 

a result, the Price Funds S-O Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal 

course of their duties (whether formally for the Price Funds or for the Price Fund Advisers, or for 

both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions which will have different 

effects on these entities. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent 

in the contractual relationship between each Price Fund and its respective Price Fund Adviser. 

Such participation is also consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties 

as officers of the Price Funds and, if consistent with the provisions of the Investment Company 

Act and the Investment Advisers Act, it will be deemed to have been handled ethically. 

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Price Funds S-O Code, even if these conflicts of 

interest are not addressed by or subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the 

Investment Advisers Act. 

Whenever a Covered Officer is confronted with a conflict of interest situation where he or she is 

uncertain as to the appropriate action to be taken, he or she should discuss the matter with the 

Chairperson of Group’s Ethics Committee or another member of the Committee. 

Handling of Specific Types of Conflicts. Each Covered Officer (and close family members) 

must not: 

              Entertainment. Accept entertainment from any company with which any Price 

              Fund or any Price Fund Adviser has current or prospective business dealings, 

              including portfolio companies, unless such entertainment is in full compliance 

              with the policy on entertainment as set forth in the Group Code. 

              Gifts. Accept any gifts, except as permitted by the Group Code. 

               Improper Personal Influence. Use his or her personal influence or personal 

               relationships improperly to influence investment decisions, brokerage allocations 

               or financial reporting by the Price Funds to the detriment of any one or more of 

               the Price Funds. 

               Taking Action at the Expense of a Price Fund. Cause a Price Fund to take 

               action, or fail to take action, for the personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather 

               than for the benefit of one or more of the Price Funds. 

               Misuse of Price Funds’ Transaction Information. Use knowledge of portfolio 

               transactions made or contemplated for a Price Fund or any other clients of the 

               Price Fund Advisers to trade personally or cause others to trade in order to take 

               advantage of or avoid the market impact of such portfolio transactions. 

               Outside Business Activities. Engage in any outside business activity that 

               detracts from a Covered Officer’s ability to devote appropriate time and attention 

               to his or her responsibilities to a Price Fund. 

               Service Providers. Excluding Group and its affiliates, have any ownership 

               interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Price 

               Funds’ service providers, except that an ownership interest in public companies is 

               permitted 

               Receipt of Payments. Have a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, 

               transaction charges, spreads or other payments paid by a Price Fund for effecting 

               portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest 

               (such as compensation or equity ownership) arising from the Covered Officer’s 

               employment by Group or any of its affiliates. 

               Service as a Director or Trustee. Serve as a director, trustee or officer of any 

               public or private company or a non-profit organization that issues securities 

               eligible for purchase by any of the Price Funds, unless approval is obtained as 

               required by the Group Code. 

IV. Covered Officers’ Specific Obligations and Accountabilities.   

               A. Disclosure Requirements and Controls. Each Covered Officer must 

               familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements (Form N-1A registration 

               statement, proxy (Schedule 14A), shareholder reports, Forms N-SAR, N-CSR, etc.) 

               applicable to the Price Funds and the disclosure controls and procedures of the Price 

               Fund and the Price Fund Advisers. 

               B. Compliance with Applicable Law. It is the responsibility of each Covered 

               Officer to promote compliance with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Price 

               Funds and the Price Fund Advisers. Each Covered Officer should, to the extent 

               appropriate within his or her area of responsibility, consult with other officers and 

               employees of the Price Funds and the Price Fund Advisers and take other appropriate 

               steps with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure 

               in the reports and documents the Price Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC, and in 

               other public communications made by the Price Funds. 

               C. Fair Disclosure. Each Covered Officer must not knowingly misrepresent, or 

               cause others to misrepresent, facts about a Price Fund to others, whether within or 

               outside the Price organization, including to the Price Fund’s directors and auditors, and 

               to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations. 

               D. Initial and Annual Affirmations. Each Covered Officer must:

                     1. Upon adoption of the Price Funds S-O Code (or thereafter, as applicable, upon 

                     becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing that he or she has received, read, 

                     and understands the Price Funds S-O Code. 

                     2. Annually affirm that he or she has complied with the requirements of the Price 

                     Funds S-O Code. 

               E. Reporting of Material Violations of the Price Funds S-O Code. If a 

               Covered Officer becomes aware of any material violation of the Price Funds S-O Code 

               or laws and governmental rules and regulations applicable to the operations of the 

               Price Funds, he or she must promptly report the violation (“Report”) to the Chief 

               Legal Counsel of the Price Funds (“CLC”). Failure to report a material violation will 

               be considered itself a violation of the Price Funds S-O Code. The CLC is identified in 

               the attached Exhibit B. 

               It is the Price Funds policy that no retaliation or other adverse action will be taken 

               against any Covered Officer or other employee of a Price Fund, a Price Fund Adviser 

               or their affiliates based upon any lawful actions of the Covered Officer or employee 

               with respect to a Report made in good faith. 

               F. Annual Disclosures. Each Covered Officer must report, at least annually, all 

               affiliations or other relationships as called for in the “Annual Questionnaire for 

               Executive Officers and/or Employee Directors/Trustees of Group and the Price Funds.” 

V. Administration of the Price Funds S-O Code. The Ethics Committee is responsible for 

administering the Price Funds S-O Code and applying its provisions to specific situations in 

which questions are presented. 

               A. Waivers and Interpretations. The Chairperson of the Ethics Committee has 

               the authority to interpret the Price Funds S-O Code in any particular situation and to 

               grant waivers where justified, subject to the approval of the Joint Audit Committee of 

               the Price Funds. All material interpretations concerning Covered Officers will be 

               reported to the Joint Audit Committee of the Price Funds at its next meeting. Waivers, 

               including implicit waivers, to Covered Officers will be publicly disclosed as required 

               in the Instructions to N-CSR. Pursuant to the definition in the Regulations, an implicit 

               waiver means a Price Fund’s failure to take action within a reasonable period of time 

               regarding a material departure from a provision of the Price Funds S-O Code that has 

               been made known to an “executive officer” (as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the 

               Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of a Price Fund. An executive officer of a Price 

               Fund includes its president and any vice-president in charge of a principal business 

               unit, division or function. 

               B. Violations/Investigations. The following procedures will be followed in 

               investigating and enforcing the Price Funds S-O Code: 

                     1. The CLC will take or cause to be taken appropriate action to 

                     investigate any potential or actual violation reported to him or her. 

                     2. The CLC, after consultation if deemed appropriate with Outside 

                     Counsel to the Price Funds, will make a recommendation to the 

                     appropriate Price Funds Board regarding the action to be taken with 

                     regard to each material violation. Such action could include any of the 

                     following: a letter of censure or suspension, a fine, a suspension of trading 

                     privileges or termination of officership or employment. In addition, the 

                     violator may be required to surrender any profit realized (or loss avoided) 

                     from any activity that is in violation of the Price Funds S-O Code. 

VI. Amendments to the Price Funds S-O Code. Except as to the contents of Exhibit A and 

Exhibit B, the Price Funds S-O Code may not be materially amended except in written form, 

which is specifically approved or ratified by a majority vote of each Price Fund Board, including 

a majority of the independent directors on each Board. 

VII. Confidentiality. All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to the Price 

Funds S-O Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected 

accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law, the Price Funds S-O Code or as necessary in 

connection with regulations under the Price Funds S-O Code, such matters shall not be disclosed 

to anyone other than the directors of the appropriate Price Fund Board, Outside Counsel to the 

Price Funds, members of the Ethics Committee and the CLC and authorized persons on his or 

her staff.
