Commentary

Dear
Shareholder
Nearly
all
major
global
stock
and
bond
indexes
fell
sharply
in
2022,
as
investors
contended
with
persistently
high
inflation,
tightening
financial
conditions,
and
slowing
economic
and
corporate
earnings
growth.
Double-digit
losses
were
common
in
equity
markets
around
the
world,
and
bond
investors
also
faced
a
historically
tough
environment
amid
a
sharp
rise
in
interest
rates.
Value
shares
declined
but
outperformed
growth
stocks
by
a
considerable
margin
as
equity
investors
turned
risk
averse
and
as
rising
rates
put
downward
pressure
on
growth
stock
valuations.
Emerging
markets
stocks
generally
underperformed
shares
in
developed
markets.
Meanwhile,
the
U.S.
dollar
strengthened
versus
most
currencies
during
the
period,
which
weighed
on
returns
for
U.S.
investors
in
international
securities.
Within
the
S&P
500
Index,
energy
was
a
rare
bright
spot,
gaining
more
than
60%
as
oil
prices
jumped
in
response
to
Russia’s
invasion
of
Ukraine
and
concerns
over
commodity
supply
shortages.
Defensive
shares,
such
as
utilities,
consumer
staples,
and
health
care,
held
up
relatively
well
and
finished
the
year
with
roughly
flat
returns.
Conversely,
communication
services,
consumer
discretionary,
and
information
technology
shares
suffered
the
largest
declines.
Elevated
inflation
remained
a
leading
concern
for
investors
throughout
the
period,
although
there
were
signs
that
price
increases
were
moderating
by
year-
end.
November’s
consumer
price
index
data
showed
headline
inflation
rising
7.1%
on
a
12-month
basis,
the
lowest
level
since
December
2021
but
still
well
above
the
Federal
Reserve’s
2%
long-term
target.
In
response
to
the
high
inflation
readings,
global
central
banks
tightened
monetary
policy,
and
investors
focused
on
communications
from
central
bank
officials
on
how
high
rates
would
have
to
go.
The
Fed,
which
at
the
end
of
2021
had
forecast
that
it
would
only
need
to
raise
interest
rates
0.75
percentage
point
in
all
of
2022,
raised
its
short-term
lending
benchmark
from
near
zero
in
March
to
a
target
range
of
4.25%
to
4.50%
by
December
and
indicated
that
additional
hikes
are
likely.
Bond
yields
increased
considerably
across
the
U.S.
Treasury
yield
curve
as
the
Fed
tightened
monetary
policy,
with
the
yield
on
the
benchmark
10-year
U.S.
Treasury
note
climbing
from
1.52%
at
the
start
of
the
period
to
3.88%
at
the
end
of
the
year.
Significant
inversions
in
the
yield
curve,
which
are
often
considered
a
warning
sign
of
a
coming
recession,
occurred
during
the
period
as
shorter-maturity
Treasuries
experienced
the
largest
yield
increases.

sharp
increase
in
yields
led
to
historically
weak
results
across
the
fixed
income
market,
with
the
Bloomberg
U.S.
Aggregate
Bond
Index
delivering
its
worst
year
on
record.
(Bond
prices
and
yields
move
in
opposite
directions.)
As
the
period
came
to
an
end,
the
economic
backdrop
appeared
mixed.
Although
manufacturing
gauges
have
drifted
toward
contraction
levels,
the
U.S.
jobs
market
remained
resilient,
and
corporate
and
household
balance
sheets
appeared
strong.
Meanwhile,
the
housing
market
has
weakened
amid
rising
mortgage
rates.
The
past
year
has
been
a
trying
time
for
investors
as
few
sectors
remained
untouched
by
the
broad
headwinds
that
markets
faced,
and
volatility
may
continue
in
the
near
term
as
central
banks
tighten
policy
amid
slowing
economic
growth.
However,
in
our
view,
there
continue
to
be
opportunities
for
selective
investors
focused
on
fundamentals.
Valuations
in
most
global
equity
markets
have
improved
markedly,
although
U.S.
equities
still
appear
relatively
expensive
by
historical
standards,
while
bond
yields
have
reached
some
of
the
most
attractive
levels
since
the
2008
global
financial
crisis.
We
believe
this
environment
makes
skilled
active
management
a
critical
tool
for
identifying
risks
and
opportunities,
and
our
investment
teams
will
continue
to
use
fundamental
research
to
identify
securities
that
can
add
value
to
your
portfolio
over
the
long
term.

you
for

continued

FUND
COMMENTARY
How
did
the
fund
perform
in
the
past 12
months?
The
T.
Rowe
Price
Emerging
Markets
Corporate
Bond
Fund
returned
-12.32%
for
the
12
months
ended
December
31,
2022,
on
a
net-of-fees
basis,
performing
in
line
with
its
benchmark,
the
J.P.
Morgan
Corporate
Emerging
Market
Bond
Index
Broad
Diversified,
while
outperforming
its
Lipper
peer
group
average.
(Results
for
Advisor
and
I
Class
shares
varied
slightly,
reflecting
their
different
fee
structures.
Past
performance
cannot
guarantee
future
results
.)
What
factors
influenced
the
fund’s
performance?
Stubbornly
high
inflation,
global
central
bank
tightening,
political
uncertainty
in
some
countries,
and
the
war
between
Russia
and
Ukraine
all
contributed
to
a
challenging
investment
environment.
During
the
first
half
of
2022,
U.S.
Treasury
yields
climbed
significantly.
As
expectations
increased
for
higher
rates,
growth
forecasts
were
reduced,
dragging
down
investors'
tolerance
for
risk.
This
caused
credit
spreads
to
notably
widen.
(Credit
spreads
measure
the
additional
yield
that
investors
demand
to
hold
a
bond
with
credit
risk
compared
with
a
high-quality
government
security
with
a
comparable
maturity.)
Late
in
the
year,
indications
that
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve's
aggressive
rate
hikes
could
be
decelerating
bolstered
investor
risk
sentiment.

Underweight
exposure
to
Russian
corporates
ahead
of
the
Russian
invasion
of
Ukraine
led
outperformance.
Commodities-focused
sectors,
such
as
metals
and
mining
and
oil
and
gas,
were
sources
of
strength
due
to
underweight
allocations
to
these
sectors
that
have
notable
exposures
to
Russia.
Reduced
exposure
to
Russian
issuers
within
the
oil
and
gas
sector
was
beneficial.
Higher-yielding
issuers
Leviathan,
Canacol,
and
Kosmos
outperformed.
Similarly,
lack
of
exposure
to
Russian
issuers
within
the
metals
and
mining
sector
was
constructive,
and
holdings
of
miners
in
Asia
and
Latin
America
provided
a
modest
boost
to
performance.
Positions
in
Tata,
PT
Adaro,
Gran
Colombia,
and
Minsur
were
beneficial.
(Please
refer
to
the
fund’s
portfolio
of
investments
for
a
complete
list
of
our
holdings
and
the
amount
each
represents
in
the
portfolio.)
Our
positioning
in
the
real
estate
sector
hindered
relative
results
due
to
our
overweight
allocation
as
well
as
security
selection
within
the
sector.
The
real
estate
sector
in
aggregate
was
lower,
dragged
down
by
significant
declines
in
Chinese
real
estate,
which
makes
up
the
bulk
of
the
sector.
Our
selection
of
several
Chinese
property
developers
further
weighed
on
relative
performance.
Positions
in
Country
Garden,
Shimao,
KWG,
and
Times
China
led
declines.
Security
selection
elsewhere
was
mixed.
Within
the
transportation
sector,
holdings
of
state-supported
Ukraine
rail
declined
along
with
most
Ukrainian
assets.
Our
position
in
Russian
issuer
GTLK
hindered
relative
performance
despite
exiting
the
position
before
Russia's
invasion
of
Ukraine.
Selection
in
the
financial
sector
weighed
on
relative
results,
largely
owing
to
our
reduced
exposure
to
Turkish
banks
that
held
in
relatively
well
despite
an
unorthodox
monetary
policy
in
the
country.
Our
significant
underweight
to
the
sector
further
hindered
performance
as
the
relatively
defensive
sector
outperformed
amid
periods
of
market
weakness.
Our
mix
of
securities
within
the
technology,
media,
and
telecommunications
sector
was
helpful.
Shorter-duration,
higher-yielding
21Vianet,
Tower
Bersama,
Telfonica
Celular
del
Paraguay,
Oztel,
and
Liberty
aided
performance
amid
rising
rates.
(Duration
measures
a
bond’s
sensitivity
to
changes
in
interest
rates.)
Avoiding
Russian
telecom
VEON
further
supported
relative
performance.
Echoing
results
in
the
technology,
media,
and
telecommunications
sector,
our
security
selection
in
the
industrial
sector
was
beneficial,
largely
due
to
avoidance
of
Russian
companies
and
selection
of
shorter-duration
issuers.
Positions
in
Thai
industrial
Indorama
led
outperformance.
Higher-yielding
Indian
Tata
Motors
also
aided
relative
results.
The
portfolio
maintains
allocations
to
select
types
of
derivatives
for
hedging
purposes
or
to
gain
exposure
to
certain
sectors
or
companies.
The

that

a
slight
boost

performance.

How
is
the
fund
positioned?
As
liquidity
remained
challenging
across
all
markets,
we
made
modest
adjustments
throughout
the
period.
Early
in
the
period,
we
reduced
exposure
to
credit
risk
amid
increasing
concerns
about
high
inflation
and
rising
rates
that
tempered
enthusiasm
for
fixed
income
assets.
Following
sharp
declines
due
to
rapid
changes
in
investor
sentiment,
we
modestly
added
back
to
risk.
We
remain
defensively
positioned
relative
to
history
with
space
to
add
risk
into
any
dislocation.
We
currently
hold
above-average
exposure
to
investment-grade
markets,
such
as
Mexico,
Chile,
and
India,
while
underweighting
frontier
markets
like
Zambia
and
Nigeria.
The
fund
has
a
long-term
structural
underweight
to
investment-
grade
bonds
from
higher-quality
Asian
emerging
markets,
which
are
generally
quite
efficiently
priced
and
offer
fewer
opportunities
to
capitalize
on
market
inefficiencies.
Though
we
remain
underweight,
we
added
to
holdings
in
South
Korea
and
Hong
Kong.
Throughout
the
period,
we
increased
exposure
to
higher-quality
countries,
such
as
Israel
and
Peru.
In
China,
however,
policy
conditions
present
short-term
challenges.
We
have
reduced
holdings,
moving
from
overweight
to
underweight,
and
we
remain
mindful
of
risks
to
the
lowest-
quality
issuers
in
the
market.
We
eliminated
holdings
in
Ukraine
and
Russia
early
in
the
reporting
period.
In
terms
of
sector
positioning,
the
fund’s
largest
underweight
is
the
financial
sector
due
to
its
higher
credit
quality,
lower
yields,
and
mixed
relative
value.
We
further
reduced
holdings
in
the
financial
sector
during
the
reporting
period.
We

spending,
such
as
technology,

and

utilities;
and
transportation.
At
the
end
of
the
reporting
period,
the
technology,
media,
and
telecommunications
sector
remained
the
largest
overweight,
though
holdings
in
this
sector
were
trimmed.
In
terms
of
overall
credit
quality
positioning,
we
continued
to
deemphasize
both
the
highest-quality
and
lowest-quality
segments,
preferring
issuers
rated
BBB
(the
lowest
investment-grade
rating)
and
BB
(the
highest
non-investment-
grade
rating)
because
these
areas
generally
offer
more
opportunities
to
identify
good
companies
with
improving
fundamentals
that
are
candidates
for
ratings
upgrades.
The
portfolio’s
largest
credit
quality
segment
overweight
was
to
BB
rated
debt.
We
continued
to
underweight
distressed
issuers—companies
that
carry
credit
spreads
above
1,000
basis
points—and
bonds
with
credit
ratings
of
CCC
and
below
given
their
history
of
poor
risk-adjusted
returns
and
periodic
defaults.
What
is
portfolio
management’s
outlook?
Declining
global
rates
volatility
recently
supported
the
emerging
markets
corporate
debt
asset
class
and
led
to
some
spread
compression.
Exogenous
risks,
however,
remain
a
cause
for
caution.
Idiosyncratic
risks
in
a
few
markets
combined
with
a
global
central
bank
rate-hiking
cycle
and
slower
global
growth
are
contributing
to
a
challenging
investment
climate.
Corporate
fundamentals
and
credit
metrics
are
generally
healthy
but
are
likely
at
peak
levels
as
supply
shortages
and
rising
input
prices
are
pressuring
margins
in
places.
We
remain
generally
constructive
on
the
emerging
markets
corporate
asset
class
due
to
its
attractive
relative
value
and
resilient
return
history.
(Past
performances
does
not
guarantee
future
results.)
Nevertheless,
global
growth
has
slowed.
Exogenous
factors,
such
as
global
central
bank
tightening
and
heightened
geopolitical
tensions,
created
a
less
accommodative
environment
for
growth.
Despite
the
weak
economic
backdrop,
some
corporates
appear
to
be
managing
the
macro
issues
well
from
an
operational
perspective,
and
balance
sheets
have
benefited
from
a

of
deleveraging.
While

could

again,
historically

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.

EXPENSE
RATIO
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
fund
has
three
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,
and
I
Class
shares
are
available
to
institutionally
oriented
clients
and
impose
no
12b-1
or
administrative
fee
payment.
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
on
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
on
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.

as
of

This
number
may
vary
from
the

ratio
shown

Note:
T.
Rowe
Price
charges
an
annual
account
service
fee
of
$20,
generally
for
accounts
with
less
than
$10,000.
The
fee
is
waived
for
any
investor
whose
T.
Rowe
Price
mutual
fund
accounts
total
$50,000
or
more;
accounts
electing
to
receive
electronic
delivery
of

shareholder

or
accounts
of
an
investor
who
is
a
T.

Enhanced

client
(enrollment
in
these
programs
generally
requires
T.
Rowe
Price
assets
of
at
least
$250,000).
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.

T.

International
Funds,
Inc.
(the
corporation) is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(the
1940
Act).
The
Emerging
Markets
Corporate
Bond
Fund
(the
fund)
is a
diversified,
open-end
management
investment
company
established
by
the
corporation. The
fund
seeks
to
provide
high
current
income
and,
secondarily,
capital
appreciation.
The
fund
has
three classes
of
shares:
the
Emerging
Markets
Corporate
Bond
Fund
(Investor
Class),
the
Emerging
Markets
Corporate
Bond
Fund–Advisor
Class
(Advisor
Class)
and
the
Emerging
Markets
Corporate
Bond
Fund–I
Class
(I
Class).
Advisor
Class
shares
are
sold
only
through
various
brokers
and
other
financial
intermediaries.
I
Class
shares
require
a
$500,000
initial
investment
minimum,
although
the
minimum
generally
is
waived
or
reduced
for
financial
intermediaries,
eligible
retirement
plans,
and
certain
other
accounts.
Prior
to
November
15,
2021,
the
initial
investment
minimum
was
$1
million
and
was
generally
waived
for
financial
intermediaries,
eligible
retirement
plans,
and
other
certain
accounts.
As
a
result
of
the
reduction
in
the
I
Class
minimum,
certain
assets
transferred
from
the
Investor
Class
to
the
I
Class.
This
transfer
of
shares
from
Investor
Class
to
I
Class
is
reflected
in
the
Statement
of
Changes
in
Net
Assets
within
the
Capital
shares
transactions
as
Shares
redeemed
and
Shares
sold,
respectively.
The
Advisor
Class
operates
under
a
Board-approved
Rule
12b-1
plan
pursuant
to
which
the
class
compensates
financial
intermediaries
for
distribution,
shareholder
servicing,
and/
or
certain
administrative
services;
the
Investor
and
I
Classes
do
not
pay
Rule
12b-1
fees. Each
class
has
exclusive
voting
rights
on
matters
related
solely
to
that
class;
separate
voting
rights
on
matters
that
relate
to
all
classes;
and,
in
all
other
respects,
the
same
rights
and
obligations
as
the
other
classes.

SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING
POLICIES 
Basis
of
Preparation
 The fund
is
an
investment
company
and
follows
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
in
the
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
(FASB)
Accounting
Standards
Codification
Topic
946
(ASC
946).
The
accompanying
financial
statements
were
prepared
in
accordance
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
(GAAP),
including,
but
not
limited
to,
ASC
946.
GAAP
requires
the
use
of
estimates
made
by
management.
Management
believes
that
estimates
and
valuations
are
appropriate;
however,
actual
results
may
differ
from
those
estimates,
and
the
valuations
reflected
in
the
accompanying
financial
statements
may
differ
from
the
value
ultimately
realized
upon
sale
or
maturity.

Investment
Transactions,
Investment
Income,
and
Distributions
Investment
transactions
are
accounted
for
on
the
trade
date
basis.
Income
and
expenses
are
recorded
on
the
accrual
basis.
Realized
gains
and
losses
are
reported
on
the
identified
cost
basis.
Premiums
and
discounts
on
debt
securities
are
amortized
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Income
tax-related
interest
and
penalties,
if
incurred,
are
recorded
as
income
tax
expense.
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.
Non-cash
dividends,
if
any,
are
recorded
at
the
fair
market
value
of
the
asset
received.
Proceeds
from
litigation
payments,
if
any,
are
included
in
either
net
realized

(loss)
or
change
in
net
unrealized
gain/loss
from

Distributions
to
shareholders
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Income
distributions,
if
any, are
declared
by
each
class daily
and
paid
monthly.
A
capital
gain
distribution,
if
any, may
also
be
declared
and
paid
by
the
fund
annually.
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
provided
by
an
outside
pricing
service.
Purchases
and
sales
of

income,
and
expenses
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
at
the
prevailing
exchange
rate
on
the
respective
date
of
such
transaction.
The
effect
of
changes
in
foreign
currency
exchange
rates
on
realized

security
gains
and

is
not
bifurcated
from

upon
the

Capital
Transactions
 Each
investor’s
interest
in
the
net
assets
of the
fund
is
represented
by
fund
shares. The
fund’s
net
asset
value
(NAV)
per
share
is
computed
at
the
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(NYSE),
normally
4
p.m.
ET,
each
day
the
NYSE
is
open
for
business.
However,
the
NAV
per
share
may
be
calculated
at
a
time
other
than
the
normal
close
of
the

if
trading
on

is
restricted,
if
the

earlier,
or
as
may

permitted
by
the

New
Accounting
Guidance
 In
June
2022,
the
FASB
issued
Accounting
Standards
Update
(ASU),
ASU
2022-03,
Fair
Value
Measurement
(Topic
820)
Fair
Value
Measurement
of
Equity
Securities
Subject
to
Contractual
Sale
Restrictions,
which
clarifies
that
a
contractual
restriction
on
the
sale
of
an
equity
security
is
not
considered
part
of
the
unit
of
account
of
the
equity
security
and,
therefore,
is
not
considered
in
measuring
fair
value.
The
amendments
under
this
ASU
are
effective
for
fiscal
years
beginning
after
December
15,
2023;
however,
the
fund
opted
to
early
adopt,
as
permitted,
effective
December
1,
2022. Adoption
of
the
guidance
did not
have
a
material
impact
on
the fund's
financial  statements.
The
FASB
issued
Accounting
Standards
Update
(ASU),
ASU
2020–04,
Reference

(Topic

Reporting
in

and
ASU
2021-01
in
January
2021
which
provided
further
amendments
and
clarifications
to
Topic
848.
These
ASUs provide
optional,
temporary
relief
with
respect
to
the
financial
reporting
of
contracts
subject
to
certain
types
of
modifications
due
to
the
planned
discontinuation
of
the
London
Interbank
Offered
Rate
(LIBOR),
and
other
interbank-offered
based
reference
rates,
through December
31,
2022.
In
December,
2022,
FASB
issued
ASU
2022-06
which
defers
the
sunset
date
of
Topic
848
from
December
31,
2022,
to
December
31,
2024,
after
which
entities
will
no
longer
be
permitted
to
apply
the
relief
in
Topic
848.
Management
intends
to
rely
upon
the
relief
provided
under
Topic
848,
which
is
not
expected to
have
a
material
impact
on
the fund's
financial  statements.
Indemnification
 In
the
normal
course
of
business, the
fund
may
provide
indemnification
in
connection
with
its
officers
and
directors,
service
providers,
and/or
private
company
investments. The
fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown;
however,
the
risk
of
material
loss
is
currently
considered
to
be
remote.

VALUATION 
Fair
Value
  The
fund’s
financial
instruments
are
valued
at
the
close
of
the
NYSE
and
are
reported
at
fair
value,
which
GAAP
defines
as
the
price
that
would
be
received
to
sell
an
asset
or
paid
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
at
the
measurement
date. The fund’s
Board
of
Directors
(the
Board)
has
designated
T.
Rowe
Price

Inc.
as
the
fund’s
valuation
designee
(Valuation

Subject
to
oversight
by
the
Board,
the
Valuation
Designee
performs
the
following
functions
in
performing
fair
value
determinations:
assesses

manages

establishes

applies

unobservable

(including

Designee’s assumptions
in
determining

Observable
inputs
are
developed
using
market
data,
such
as
publicly
available
information
about
actual
events
or
transactions,
and
reflect
the
assumptions
that
market
participants
would
use
to
price
the
financial
instrument.
Unobservable
inputs
are
those
for
which
market
data
are
not
available
and
are
developed
using
the
best
information
available
about
the
assumptions
that
market
participants
would
use
to
price
the
financial
instrument.
GAAP
requires
valuation
techniques
to
maximize
the
use
of
relevant
observable
inputs
and
minimize
the
use
of
unobservable
inputs.
When
multiple
inputs
are
used
to
derive
fair
value,
the
financial
instrument
is
assigned
to
the
level
within
the
fair
value
hierarchy
based
on
the
lowest-level
input
that
is
significant
to
the
fair
value
of
the
financial
instrument.
Input
levels
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
or
liquidity
associated
with
financial
instruments
at
that
level
but
rather
the
degree
of
judgment
used
in
determining
those
values.

generally
are

and
are
valued
at

or
by
broker
dealers
who
make

When
valuing
securities,
the
independent

consider
factors
such
as,

to,
the

of
bonds
of

the

of

and,
if
appropriate,
decide whether
it
is
necessary
to
adjust
quoted

to
reflect
fair

by
reviewing
a

of
factors,
including
developments
in

Designee
uses
outside

to
provide
it
with
quoted

and
information
to
evaluate

The Valuation
Designee
cannot
predict
how

The

has
adopted
methodologies
for

fair
value
of
investments
for
which
market

are
not
readily
available
or
deemed

including
the
use

Factors
used
in
determining
fair
value
vary
by
type
of
investment
and
may
include
market
or
investment
specific
considerations.
The
Valuation
Designee typically
will
afford
greatest
weight
to
actual

in
arm’s
length
transactions,
to
the
extent
they
represent
orderly
transactions
between
market
participants,
transaction
information
can
be
reliably
obtained,
and
prices
are
deemed
representative
of
fair
value.
However,
the
Valuation
Designee may
also
consider
other
valuation
methods
such
as
market-based
valuation
multiples;
a
discount
or

from
market

some
combination.
Fair

determinations
are
reviewed
on
a
regular
basis.
Because
any
fair
value
determination
involves
a
significant
amount
of
judgment,
there
is
a
degree
of
subjectivity
inherent
in
such
pricing
decisions. Fair
value
prices
determined
by
the
Valuation
Designee could
differ
from
those
of
other
market
participants,
and
it
is
possible
that
the
fair
value
determined
for
a
security
may
be
materially
different
from
the

that
could
be
realized
upon
the

DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS 
During
the
year ended
December
31,
2022,
the
fund
invested
in
derivative
instruments.
As
defined
by
GAAP,
a
derivative
is
a
financial
instrument
whose
value
is
derived
from
an
underlying
security
price,
foreign
exchange
rate,
interest
rate,
index
of
prices
or
rates,
or
other
variable;
it
requires
little
or
no
initial
investment
and
permits
or
requires
net
settlement.
The
fund
invests
in
derivatives
only
if
the
expected
risks
and
rewards
are
consistent
with
its
investment
objectives,
policies,
and
overall
risk
profile,
as
described
in
its
prospectus
and
Statement
of
Additional
Information.
The
fund
may
use
derivatives
for
a
variety
of
purposes
and
may
use
them
to
establish
both
long
and
short
positions
within
the
fund’s
portfolio.
Potential
uses
include
to
hedge
against
declines
in
principal
value,
increase
yield,
invest
in
an
asset
with
greater
efficiency
and
at
a
lower
cost
than
is
possible
through
direct
investment,
to
enhance
return,
or
to
adjust
portfolio
duration
and
credit
exposure.
The
risks
associated
with
the
use
of
derivatives
are
different
from,
and
potentially
much
greater
than,
the
risks
associated
with
investing
directly
in
the
instruments
on
which
the
derivatives
are
based.
The
fund
values
its
derivatives
at
fair
value
and
recognizes
changes
in
fair
value
currently
in
its
results
of
operations.
Accordingly,
the
fund
does
not
follow
hedge
accounting,
even
for
derivatives
employed
as
economic
hedges.
Generally,
the
fund
accounts
for
its
derivatives
on
a
gross
basis.
It
does
not
offset
the
fair
value
of
derivative
liabilities
against
the
fair
value
of
derivative
assets
on
its
financial
statements,
nor
does
it
offset
the
fair
value
of
derivative
instruments
against
the
right
to
reclaim
or
obligation
to
return
collateral.
The
following
table
summarizes
the
fair
value
of
the
fund’s
derivative
instruments
held
as
of
December
31,
2022,

Counterparty
Risk
and
Collateral
 The
fund
invests
in
derivatives
in
various
markets,
which
expose
it
to
differing
levels
of
counterparty
risk.
Counterparty
risk
on
exchange-
traded
and
centrally
cleared
derivative
contracts,
such
as
futures,
exchange-traded
options,
and
centrally
cleared
swaps,
is
minimal
because
the
clearinghouse
provides
protection
against
counterparty
defaults.
For
futures
and
centrally
cleared
swaps,
the
fund
is
required
to
deposit
collateral
in
an
amount
specified
by
the
clearinghouse
and
the
clearing
firm
(margin
requirement),
and
the
margin
requirement
must
be
maintained
over
the
life
of
the
contract.
Each
clearinghouse
and
clearing
firm,
in
its
sole
discretion,
may
adjust
the
margin
requirements
applicable
to
the
fund.
Derivatives,
such
as
non-cleared bilateral
swaps,
forward
currency
exchange
contracts,
and
OTC
options,
that
are
transacted
and
settle
directly
with
a
counterparty
(bilateral
derivatives)
may
expose
the
fund
to
greater
counterparty
risk.
To
mitigate
this
risk,
the
fund
has
entered
into
master
netting
arrangements
(MNAs)
with
certain
counterparties
that
permit
net
settlement
under
specified
conditions
and,
for
certain
counterparties,
also
require
the
exchange
of
collateral
to
cover
mark-to-market
exposure.
MNAs
may
be
in
the
form
of
International
Swaps
and
Derivatives
Association
master
agreements
(ISDAs)
or
foreign
exchange
letter
agreements
(FX
letters).
MNAs
provide
the
ability
to
offset
amounts
the
fund
owes
a
counterparty
against
amounts
the
counterparty
owes
the
fund
(net
settlement).
Both
ISDAs
and
FX
letters
generally
allow
termination
of
transactions
and
net
settlement
upon
the
occurrence
of
contractually
specified
events,
such
as
failure
to
pay
or
bankruptcy.
In
addition,
ISDAs
specify
other
events,
the
occurrence
of
which
would
allow
one
of
the
parties
to
terminate.
For
example,
a
downgrade
in
credit
rating
of
a
counterparty
below
a
specified
rating
would
allow
the
fund
to
terminate,
while

decline

the
counterparty
to
terminate.
Upon
termination,
all
transactions
with
that
counterparty
would
be
liquidated
and
a
net
termination
amount
settled.
ISDAs
typically
include
collateral
agreements
whereas
FX
letters
do
not.
Collateral
requirements
are
determined
daily
based
on
the
net
aggregate
unrealized
gain
or
loss
on
all
bilateral
derivatives
with
a
counterparty,
subject
to
minimum
transfer
amounts
that
typically
range
from
$100,000
to
$250,000.
Any
additional
collateral
required
due
to
changes
in
security
values
is
typically
transferred
the
next
business
day.
Collateral
may
be
in
the
form
of
cash
or
debt
securities
issued
by
the
U.S.
government
or
related
agencies,
although
other
securities
may
be
used
depending
on
the
terms
outlined
in
the
applicable
MNA.
Cash
posted
by
the
fund
is
reflected
as
cash
deposits
in
the
accompanying
financial
statements
and
generally
is
restricted
from
withdrawal
by
the
fund;
securities
posted
by
the
fund
are
so
noted
in
the
accompanying
Portfolio
of
Investments;
both
remain
in
the
fund’s
assets.
Collateral
pledged
by
counterparties
is
not
included
in
the
fund’s
assets
because
the
fund
does
not
obtain
effective
control
over
those
assets.
For
bilateral
derivatives,
collateral
posted
or
received
by
the
fund
is
held
in
a
segregated
account
at
the
fund’s
custodian.
While
typically
not
sold
in
the
same
manner
as
equity
or
fixed
income
securities,
exchange-traded
or
centrally
cleared
derivatives
may
be
closed
out
only
on
the
exchange
or
clearinghouse
where
the
contracts
were
cleared,
and
OTC
and
bilateral
derivatives
may
be
unwound
with
counterparties
or
transactions
assigned
to
other
counterparties
to
allow
the
fund
to
exit
the
transaction.
This
ability
is
subject
to
the
liquidity
of
underlying
positions. As
of
December
31,
2022,
no
collateral
was
pledged
by
either
the
fund
or
counterparties for
bilateral
derivatives. As
of
December
31,
2022,
cash
of $1,623,000 had
been
posted
by
the
fund
for
exchange-
traded
and/or
centrally
cleared
derivatives.
Forward
Currency
Exchange
Contracts
 The
fund
is
subject
to
foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk
in
the
normal
course
of
pursuing
its
investment
objectives.
It may use
forward
currency
exchange
contracts
(forwards)
primarily
to
protect
its
non-U.S.
dollar-
denominated
securities
from
adverse
currency
movements
or
to
increase
exposure
to
a
particular
foreign
currency,
to
shift
the
fund’s
foreign
currency
exposure
from
one
country
to
another,
or
to
enhance
the
fund’s
return.
A
forward
involves
an
obligation
to
purchase
or
sell
a
fixed
amount
of
a
specific
currency
on
a
future
date
at
a
price
set
at
the
time
of
the
contract.
Although
certain
forwards
may
be
settled
by
exchanging
only
the
net
gain
or
loss
on
the
contract,
most
forwards
are
settled
with
the
exchange
of
the
underlying
currencies
in
accordance
with
the

Forwards

of
forwards
include
the
possible
failure
of
counterparties
to
meet
the
terms
of
the
agreements;
that
anticipated
currency
movements
will
not
occur,
thereby
reducing
the
fund’s
total
return;
and
the
potential
for
losses
in
excess
of
the
fund’s
initial

During
the
year ended
December
31,
2022,
the
volume
of
the
fund’s
activity
in
forwards,
based
on
underlying
notional
amounts,
was
generally
between

of
net

Futures
Contracts
 The
fund
is
subject
to interest
rate
risk in
the
normal
course
of
pursuing
its
investment
objectives
and
uses
futures
contracts
to
help
manage
such
risk.
The
fund
may
enter
into
futures
contracts
to
manage
exposure
to
interest
rate
and
yield
curve
movements,
security
prices,
foreign
currencies,
credit
quality,
and
mortgage
prepayments;
as
an
efficient
means
of
adjusting
exposure
to
all
or
part
of
a
target
market;
to
enhance
income;
as
a
cash
management
tool;
or
to
adjust
portfolio
duration
and
credit
exposure. A
futures
contract
provides
for
the
future
sale
by
one
party
and
purchase
by
another
of
a
specified
amount
of
a
specific
underlying
financial
instrument
at
an
agreed-upon
price,
date,
time,
and
place.
The
fund
currently
invests
only
in
exchange-traded
futures,
which
generally
are
standardized
as
to
maturity
date,
underlying
financial
instrument,
and
other
contract
terms.
Payments
are
made
or
received
by
the
fund
each
day
to
settle
daily
fluctuations
in
the
value
of
the
contract
(variation
margin),
which
reflect
changes
in
the
value
of
the
underlying
financial
instrument.
Variation
margin
is
recorded
as
unrealized
gain
or
loss
until
the
contract
is
closed.
The
value
of
a
futures
contract
included
in
net
assets
is
the
amount
of
unsettled
variation
margin;
net
variation
margin
receivable
is
reflected
as
an
asset
and
net
variation
margin
payable
is
reflected
as
a
liability
on
the
accompanying
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Risks
related
to
the
use
of
futures
contracts
include
possible
illiquidity
of
the
futures
markets,
contract
prices
that
can
be
highly
volatile
and
imperfectly
correlated
to
movements
in
hedged
security
values
and/or
interest
rates,
and
potential
losses
in
excess
of
the
fund’s
initial
investment.
During
the
year ended
December
31,
2022,
the
volume
of
the
fund’s
activity
in
futures,
based
on
underlying
notional
amounts,
was
generally
between
4%
and
9%
of
net
assets.
Swaps
 The
fund
is
subject
to
credit
risk in
the
normal
course
of
pursuing
its
investment
objectives
and
uses
swap
contracts
to
help
manage
such
risk.
The
fund
may
use
swaps
in
an
effort
to
manage
both
long
and
short
exposure
to
changes
in
interest
rates,
inflation
rates,
and
credit
quality;
to
adjust
overall
exposure
to
certain
markets;
to
enhance
total
return
or
protect
the
value
of
portfolio
securities;
to
serve
as
a
cash
management
tool;
or
to
adjust
portfolio
duration
and
credit
exposure.
Swap
agreements
can
be
settled
either
directly
with
the
counterparty
(bilateral
swap)
or
through
a
central
clearinghouse

(centrally
cleared
swap).
Fluctuations
in
the
fair
value
of
a
contract
are
reflected
in
unrealized
gain
or
loss
and
are
reclassified
to
realized
gain
or
loss
upon
contract
termination
or
cash
settlement.
Net
periodic
receipts
or
payments
required
by
a
contract
increase
or
decrease,
respectively,
the
value
of
the
contract
until
the
contractual
payment
date,
at
which
time
such
amounts
are
reclassified
from
unrealized
to
realized
gain
or
loss.
For
bilateral
swaps,
cash
payments
are
made
or
received
by
the
fund
on
a
periodic
basis
in
accordance
with
contract
terms;
unrealized
gain
on
contracts
and
premiums
paid
are
reflected
as
assets
and
unrealized
loss
on
contracts
and
premiums
received
are
reflected
as
liabilities
on
the
accompanying
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
For
bilateral
swaps,
premiums
paid
or
received
are
amortized
over
the
life
of
the
swap
and
are
recognized
as
realized
gain
or
loss
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
For
centrally
cleared
swaps,
payments
are
made
or
received
by
the
fund
each
day
to
settle
the
daily
fluctuation
in
the
value
of
the
contract
(variation
margin).
Accordingly,
the
value
of
a
centrally
cleared
swap
included
in
net
assets
is
the
unsettled
variation
margin;
net
variation
margin
receivable
is
reflected
as
an
asset
and
net
variation
margin
payable
is
reflected
as
a
liability
on
the
accompanying
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Credit
default
swaps
are
agreements
where
one
party
(the
protection
buyer)
agrees
to
make
periodic
payments
to
another
party
(the
protection
seller)
in
exchange
for
protection
against
specified
credit
events,
such
as
certain
defaults
and
bankruptcies
related
to
an
underlying
credit
instrument,
or
issuer
or
index
of
such
instruments.
Upon
occurrence
of
a
specified
credit
event,
the
protection
seller
is
required
to
pay
the
buyer
the
difference
between
the
notional
amount
of
the
swap
and
the
value
of
the
underlying
credit,
either
in
the
form
of
a
net
cash
settlement
or
by
paying
the
gross
notional
amount
and
accepting
delivery
of
the
relevant
underlying
credit.
For
credit
default
swaps
where
the
underlying
credit
is
an
index,
a
specified
credit
event
may
affect
all
or
individual
underlying
securities
included
in
the
index
and
will
be
settled
based
upon
the
relative
weighting
of
the
affected
underlying
security(ies)
within
the
index. Generally,
the
payment
risk
for
the
seller
of
protection
is
inversely
related
to
the
current
market
price
or
credit
rating
of
the
underlying
credit
or
the
market
value
of
the
contract
relative
to
the
notional
amount,
which
are
indicators
of
the
markets’
valuation
of
credit
quality.
As
of
December
31,
2022,
the
notional
amount
of
protection
sold
by
the
fund
totaled $8,550,000
(2.1%
of
net
assets),
which
reflects
the
maximum
potential
amount
the
fund
could
be
required
to
pay
under
such
contracts.
Risks
related
to
the
use
of
credit
default
swaps
include
the
possible
inability
of
the
fund
to
accurately
assess
the
current
and
future
creditworthiness
of
underlying
issuers,
the
possible
failure
of
a
counterparty
to
perform
in
accordance
with
the
terms
of
the
swap
agreements,
potential
government
regulation
that
could
adversely
affect
the
fund’s
swap
investments,
and
potential
losses
in
excess
of
the
fund’s
initial
investment.

OTHER
INVESTMENT
TRANSACTIONS 
Consistent
with
its
investment
objective,
the
fund
engages
in
the
following
practices
to
manage
exposure
to
certain
risks
and/or
to
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
and
Frontier
Markets
 The fund
invests,
either
directly
or
through
investments
in
other
T.
Rowe
Price
funds,
in
securities
of
companies
located
in,
issued
by
governments
of,
or
denominated
in
or
linked
to
the
currencies
of
emerging
and
frontier
market
countries.
Emerging
markets,
and
to
a
greater
extent
frontier
markets, tend
to
have
economic
structures
that
are
less
diverse
and
mature,
less
developed
legal
and
regulatory
regimes,
and
political
systems
that
are
less
stable,
than
those
of
developed
countries.
These
markets
may
be
subject
to
greater
political,
economic,
and
social
uncertainty
and
differing
accounting
standards
and
regulatory
environments
that
may
potentially
impact
the
fund’s
ability
to
buy
or
sell
certain
securities
or
repatriate
proceeds
to
U.S.
dollars.
Emerging
markets
securities
exchanges
are
more
likely
to
experience
delays
with
the
clearing
and
settling
of
trades,
as
well
as
the
custody
of
holdings
by
local
banks,
agents,
and
depositories.
Such
securities
are
often
subject
to
greater
price
volatility,
less
liquidity,
and
higher
rates
of
inflation
than
U.S.
securities.
Investing
in
frontier
markets
is
typically
significantly
riskier
than
investing
in
other
countries,
including
emerging
markets.
Noninvestment-Grade
Debt
 The
fund
invests,
either
directly
or
through
its
investment
in
other
T.
Rowe
Price
funds,
in
noninvestment-grade
debt,
including
“high
yield”
or
“junk”
bonds
or
leveraged
loans.
Noninvestment-grade
debt
issuers
are
more
likely
to
suffer
an
adverse
change
in
financial
condition
that
would
result
in
the
inability
to
meet
a
financial
obligation.
The
noninvestment-grade
debt
market
may
experience
sudden
and
sharp
price
swings
due
to
a
variety
of
factors
that
may
decrease
the
ability
of
issuers
to
make
principal
and
interest
payments
and
adversely
affect
the
liquidity
or
value,
or
both,
of
such
securities.
Accordingly,
securities
issued
by
such
companies
carry
a
higher
risk
of
default
and
should
be
considered
speculative. 
Restricted
Securities
 The
fund
invests
in
securities
that
are
subject
to
legal
or
contractual
restrictions
on
resale.
Prompt
sale
of
such
securities
at
an
acceptable
price
may
be
difficult
and
may
involve
substantial
delays
and
additional
costs.

Bank
Loans
 The
fund
invests
in
bank
loans,
which
represent
an
interest
in
amounts
owed
by
a
borrower
to
a
syndicate
of
lenders.
Bank
loans
are
generally
noninvestment
grade
and
often
involve
borrowers
whose
financial
condition
is
highly
leveraged.
The
fund
may
invest
in
fixed
and
floating
rate
loans,
which
may
include
senior
floating
rate
loans;
secured
and
unsecured
loans,
second
lien
or
more
junior
loans;
and
bridge
loans
or
bridge
facilities.
Certain
bank
loans
may
be
revolvers
which
are
a
form
of
senior
bank
debt,
where
the
borrower
can
draw
down
the
credit
of
the
revolver
when
it
needs
cash
and
repays
the
credit
when
the
borrower
has
excess
cash.
Certain
loans
may
be
“covenant-lite”
loans,
which
means
the
loans
contain
fewer
maintenance
covenants
than
other
loans
(in
some
cases,
none)
and
do
not
include
terms
which
allow
the
lender
to
monitor
the
performance
of
the
borrower
and
declare
a
default
if
certain
criteria
are
breached.
As
a
result
of
these
risks,
the
fund’s
exposure
to
losses
may
be
increased.
Bank
loans
may
be
in
the
form
of
either
assignments
or
participations.
A
loan
assignment
transfers
all
legal,
beneficial,
and
economic
rights
to
the
buyer,
and
transfer
typically
requires
consent
of
both
the
borrower
and
agent.
In
contrast,
a
loan
participation
generally
entitles
the
buyer
to
receive
the
cash
flows
from
principal,
interest,
and
any
fee
payments
on
a
portion
of
a
loan;
however,
the
seller
continues
to
hold
legal
title
to
that
portion
of
the
loan.
As
a
result,
the
buyer
of
a
loan
participation
generally
has
no
direct
recourse
against
the
borrower
and
is
exposed
to
credit
risk
of
both
the
borrower
and
seller
of
the
participation.
Bank
loans
often
have
extended
settlement
periods,
generally
may
be
repaid
at
any
time
at
the
option
of
the
borrower,
and
may
require
additional
principal
to
be
funded
at
the
borrowers’
discretion
at
a
later
date
(e.g.
unfunded
commitments
and
revolving
debt
instruments).
Until
settlement,
the
fund
maintains
liquid
assets
sufficient
to
settle
its
unfunded
loan
commitments.
The
fund
reflects
both
the
funded
portion
of
a
bank
loan
as
well
as
its
unfunded
commitment
in
the
Portfolio
of
Investments.
However,
if
a
credit
agreement
provides
no
initial
funding
of
a
tranche,
and
funding
of
the
full
commitment
at
a
future
date(s)
is
at
the
borrower’s
discretion
and
considered
uncertain,
a
loan
is
reflected
in
the
Portfolio
of
Investments
only
if,
and
only
to
the
extent
that,
the
fund
has
actually
settled
a
funding
commitment.
LIBOR
Transition
 The fund
may
invest
in
instruments
that
are
tied
to
reference
rates,
including
LIBOR.
Over
the
course
of
the
last
several
years,
global
regulators
have
indicated
an
intent
to
phase
out
the
use
of
LIBOR
and
similar
interbank
offered
rates
(IBOR).
While
publication
for
most
LIBOR
currencies
and
lesser-used

2021,
remaining
USD

will
continue

There
remains
uncertainty
regarding
the
future
utilization
of
LIBOR
and
the
nature
of
any
replacement
rate.

things,
an

for
instruments
that
currently

FEDERAL
INCOME
TAXES
Generally,
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.
Distributions
determined
in
accordance
with
federal
income
tax
regulations
may
differ
in
amount
or
character
from
net
investment
income
and
realized
gains
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
The fund
files
U.S.
federal,
state,
and
local
tax
returns
as
required. The
fund’s
tax
returns
are
subject
to
examination
by
the
relevant
tax
authorities
until
expiration
of
the
applicable
statute
of
limitations,
which
is
generally
three
years
after
the
filing
of
the
tax
return
but
which
can
be
extended
to
six
years
in
certain
circumstances.
Tax
returns
for
open
years
have
incorporated
no
uncertain
tax
positions
that
require
a
provision
for
income
taxes.
Capital
accounts
within
the
financial
reporting
records
are
adjusted
for
permanent
book/tax
differences
to
reflect
tax
character
but
are
not
adjusted
for
temporary
differences.
The
permanent
book/tax
adjustments,
if
any,
have
no
impact
on

Unpredictable
events
such
as
environmental
or
natural
disasters,
war,
terrorism,
pandemics,
outbreaks
of
infectious
diseases,
and
similar
public
health
threats
may
significantly
affect
the
economy
and
the
markets
and
issuers
in
which
the fund
invests.
Certain
events
may
cause
instability
across
global
markets,
including
reduced
liquidity
and
disruptions
in
trading
markets,
while
some
events
may
affect
certain
geographic
regions,
countries,
sectors,
and
industries
more
significantly
than
others,
and
exacerbate
other
pre-existing
political,
social,
and
economic
risks.
Since
2020,
a
novel
strain
of
coronavirus
(COVID-19)
has
resulted
in
disruptions
to
global
business
activity
and
caused
significant
volatility
and
declines
in
global
financial
markets.
In
February
2022,
Russian
forces
entered
Ukraine
and
commenced
an
armed
conflict
leading
to
economic
sanctions
being
imposed
on
Russia
and
certain
of
its
citizens,
creating
impacts
on
Russian-related
stocks
and
debt
and
greater
volatility
in
global

These
are
recent

of
global
events
which
may
have
a
negative
impact
on
the
values
of

overall
performance.

Opinion
on
the
Financial
Statements
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statement
of
assets
and

including
the
portfolio
of

of
T.

(one

referred

as
of
December

the

of
the
five
years
in
the
period
ended
December
31,
2022
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
“financial

In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Fund
as
of
December
31,
2022,
the
results
of
its

and
the

in
conformity
with

Basis
for
Opinion
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Fund’s
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Fund’s
financial
statements
based
on
our
audits.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(PCAOB)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Fund
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audits
of
these
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.

Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
audits
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
December
31,
2022
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian,
transfer
agent
and
brokers;
when
replies
were
not
received
from
brokers,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.

APPROVAL
OF
SUBADVISORY
AGREEMENT
At
a
meeting
held
on
July
25,
2022
(Meeting),
the
fund’s
Board
of
Directors
(Board)
considered
the
initial
approval
of
an
investment
subadvisory
agreement
(Subadvisory
Contract)
that
T.
Rowe
Price
Associates,
Inc.
(Adviser),
entered
into
with
T.
Rowe
Price
International
Ltd
(Subadviser)
on
behalf
of
the
fund.
The
Subadvisory
Contract
authorizes
the
Subadviser
to
have
investment
discretion
with
respect
to
all
or
a
portion
of
the
fund’s
portfolio.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Subadvisory
Contract
will
be
substantially
similar
to
other
subadvisory
agreements
that
are
in
place
for
other
T.
Rowe
Price
funds
that
delegate
investment
management
responsibilities
to
affiliated
investment
advisers
and
that
the
Adviser
will
retain
oversight
responsibilities
with
respect
to
the
fund.
The
Board
also
noted
that
the
new
subadvisory
arrangement
will
not
change
the
total
advisory
fees
paid
by
the
fund.
However,
under
the
Subadvisory
Contract,
the
Adviser
may
pay
the
Subadviser
up
to
60%
of
the
advisory
fees
that
the
Adviser
receives
from
the
fund.
At
the
Meeting,
the
Board
reviewed
materials
relevant
to
its
consideration
of
the
proposed
Subadvisory
Contract.
Each
year,
the
Board
considers
the
continuation
of
the
investment
management
agreement
(Advisory
Contract)
between
the
fund
and
the
Adviser.
The
fund’s
Advisory
Contract
was
most
recently
approved
by
the
Board
at
a
meeting
held
on
March
7–8,
2022
(March
Meeting).
A
discussion
of
the
basis
for
the
Board’s
approval
of
the
Advisory
Contract
is
included
in
the
fund’s
semiannual
shareholder
report
for
the
period
ended
June
30,
2022.
The
factors
considered
by
the
Board
at
the
Meeting
in
connection
with
approval
of
the
proposed
Subadvisory
Contract
were
substantially
similar
to
the
factors
considered
at
the
March
Meeting
in
connection
with
the
approval
to
continue
the
Advisory
Contract.
The
independent
directors
were
assisted
in
their
evaluation
of
the
Subadvisory
Contract
by
independent
legal
counsel
from
whom
they
received
separate
legal
advice
and
with
whom
they
met
separately.
Following
discussion
at
the
Meeting,
the
Board,
including
all
of
the
fund’s
independent
directors,
approved
the
Subadvisory
Contract
between
the
Adviser
and
Subadviser
on
behalf
of
the
fund.
No
single
factor
was
considered
in
isolation
or
to
be
determinative
to
the
decision.
Rather,
the
Board
concluded,
in
light
of
a
weighting
and
balancing
of
all
factors
considered,
that
it
was
in
the
best
interests
of
the
fund
and
its
shareholders
for
the
Board
to
approve
the
Subadvisory
Contract
effective
September
1,
2022.

the
fund
would
not
be
able
to
meet
redemption
requests
without
significant
dilution
of
remaining
investors’
interests
in
the
fund.
The
fund’s
Board
of
Directors
(Board)
has
appointed
the
fund’s
investment
adviser,
T.
Rowe
Price
Associates,
Inc.
(Adviser),
as
the
administrator
of
the
Liquidity
Program.
As
administrator,
the
Adviser
is
responsible
for
overseeing
the
day-to-day
operations
of
the
Liquidity
Program
and,
among
other
things,
is
responsible
for
assessing,
managing,
and
reviewing
with
the
Board
at
least
annually
the
liquidity
risk
of
each
T.
Rowe
Price
fund.
The
Adviser
has
delegated
oversight
of
the
Liquidity
Program
to
a
Liquidity
Risk
Committee
(LRC),
which
is
a
cross-functional
committee
composed
of
personnel
from
multiple
departments
within
the
Adviser.
The
Liquidity
Program’s
principal
objectives
include
supporting
the
T.
Rowe
Price
funds’
compliance
with
limits
on
investments
in
illiquid
assets
and
mitigating
the
risk
that
the
fund
will
be
unable
to
timely
meet
its
redemption
obligations.
The
Liquidity
Program
also
includes
a
number
of
elements
that
support
the
management
and
assessment
of
liquidity
risk,
including
an
annual
assessment
of
factors
that
influence
the
fund’s
liquidity
and
the
periodic
classification
and
reclassification
of
a
fund’s
investments
into
categories
that
reflect
the
LRC’s
assessment
of
their
relative
liquidity
under
current
market
conditions.
Under
the
Liquidity
Program,
every
investment
held
by
the
fund
is
classified
at
least
monthly
into
one
of
four
liquidity
categories
based
on
estimations
of
the
investment’s
ability
to
be
sold
during
designated
time
frames
in
current
market
conditions
without
significantly
changing
the
investment’s
market
value.
As
required
by
the
Liquidity
Rule,
at
a
meeting
held
on
July
25,
2022,
the
Board
was
presented
with
an
annual
assessment
prepared
by
the
LRC,
on
behalf
of
the
Adviser,
that
addressed
the
operation
of
the
Liquidity
Program
and
assessed
its
adequacy
and
effectiveness
of
implementation,
including
any
material
changes
to
the
Liquidity
Program
and
the
determination
of
each
fund’s
Highly
Liquid
Investment
Minimum
(HLIM).
The
annual
assessment
included
consideration
of
the
following
factors,
as
applicable:
the
fund’s
investment
strategy
and
liquidity
of
portfolio
investments
during
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions,
including
whether
the
investment
strategy
is
appropriate
for
an
open-end
fund,
the
extent
to
which
the
strategy
involves
a
relatively
concentrated
portfolio
or
large
positions
in
particular
issuers,
and
the
use
of
borrowings
for
investment
purposes
and
derivatives;
short-term
and
long-term
cash
flow
projections
covering
both
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions;
and
holdings
of
cash
and
cash
equivalents,
as
well
as
available
borrowing
arrangements.

For
the
fund
and
other
T.
Rowe
Price
funds,
the
annual
assessment
incorporated
a
report
related
to
a
fund’s
holdings,
shareholder
and
portfolio
concentration,
any
borrowings
during
the
period,
cash
flow
projections,
and
other
relevant
data
for
the
period
of
April
1,
2021,
through
March
31,
2022.
The
report
described
the
methodology
for
classifying
a
fund’s
investments
(including
any
derivative
transactions)
into
one
of
four
liquidity
categories,
as
well
as
the
percentage
of
a
fund’s
investments
assigned
to
each
category.
It
also
explained
the
methodology
for
establishing
a
fund’s
HLIM
and
noted
that
the
LRC
reviews
the
HLIM
assigned
to
each
fund
no
less
frequently
than
annually.
During
the
period
covered
by
the
annual
assessment,
the
LRC
has
concluded,
and
reported
to
the
Board,
that
the
Liquidity
Program
continues
to
operate
adequately
and
effectively
and
is
reasonably
designed
to
assess
and
manage
the
fund’s
liquidity
risk.

Item 1. (b) Notice pursuant to Rule 30e-3.

Not applicable.

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 has determined that Ms. Teresa Bryce Bazemore qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Ms. Bazemore is considered independent for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

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

 

           2022      2021  
 

Audit Fees

     $ 36,495                          $ 35,530  
 

Audit-Related Fees

       -        -  
 

Tax Fees

       -        4,217  
 

All Other Fees

       -        -  

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 and, if applicable, agreed-upon procedures related to fund acquisitions. 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.
