               Re:    AIM International Mutual Funds
                      Registration Statement on Form N-1A

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to AIM International Mutual Funds, a statutory
trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Trust").

     The Board of Trustees of the Trust has deemed it advisable for the Trust to
acquire all of the assets and assume all of the liabilities of: (i) each of the
five series portfolios of AIM International Funds, Inc. ("AIFI"), a Maryland
corporation (each, an "AIFI Fund"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "AIFI Reorganization"); and (ii) each of the two series
portfolios of INVESCO International Funds, Inc. ("IIFI"), a Maryland corporation
(each, an "IIFI Fund" and, together with the AIFI Funds, the "Predecessor
Funds"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "IIFI
Reorganization").

     Upon consummation of the AIFI Reorganization, the Trust will be the
successor issuer to AIFI. Pursuant to Rule 414 under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "1933 Act"), the Trust is adopting the Registration Statement of
AIFI as its own for all purposes of the 1933 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act"), and is filing Post-Effective Amendment No. 29 under the 1933 Act and
Amendment No. 31 under the 1940 Act to AIFI's currently effective Registration
Statement on Form N-1A (collectively, the "Registration Statement"). The
Registration Statement registers an indefinite number of shares of beneficial
interest, par value $0.001 per share (the "Shares"), representing interests in
each of the classes of the seven series portfolios of the Trust (each, a "New
Fund"), as set forth on Exhibit A hereto.

     In connection with our giving this opinion, we have examined copies of the
Trust's Amended and Restated Certificate of Trust, Amended and Restated
Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the "Trust Agreement"), and resolutions of
the Board of Trustees adopted

July 30, 2003, and originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of such other documents, records and other instruments as we have
deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion. We have also
examined the prospectuses for the New Funds, which are included in the
Registration Statement, substantially in the form in which they are to become
effective (the "Prospectuses"). As to various questions of fact material to our
opinion, we have relied upon information provided by officers of the Trust.

     Based on the foregoing and provided that the shareholders of AIFI approve
the AIFI Reorganization, that the shareholders of IIFI approve the IIFI
Reorganization and that the Registration Statement becomes effective, we are of
the opinion that (i) the Shares of each New Fund to be issued to shareholders of
the corresponding Predecessor Fund in the AIFI Reorganization or the IIFI
Reorganization, as applicable, upon receipt of the consideration set forth in
the applicable Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, will be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable; and (ii) the Shares to be offered for sale
pursuant to the Prospectuses are duly authorized and, when sold, issued and paid
for as described in the Prospectuses, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.

     We express no opinion concerning the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the federal law of the United States of America and the Delaware Statutory Trust
Act.

     Both the Delaware Statutory Trust Act and the Trust Agreement provide that
shareholders of the Trust shall be entitled to the same limitation on personal
liability as is extended under the Delaware General Corporation Law to
stockholders of private corporations for profit. There is a remote possibility,
however, that, under certain circumstances, shareholders of a Delaware statutory
trust may be held personally liable for that trust's obligations to the extent
that the courts of another state which does not recognize such limited liability
were to apply the laws of such state to a controversy involving such
obligations. The Trust Agreement also provides for indemnification out of
property of a New Fund for all loss and expense of any shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of that New Fund. Therefore, the risk of
any shareholder incurring financial loss beyond his investment due to
shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a New Fund is unable
to meet its obligations and the express limitation of shareholder liabilities is
determined not to be effective.

     We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the use of our name and to the reference to our firm under the
caption "Investment Advisory and Other Services - Other Service Providers -
Counsel to the Trust" in the Statements of Additional Information for the retail
classes of shares of the AIFI Funds and the Institutional Class of shares of AIM
International Growth Fund and to the use of our name and to the reference to our
firm under the caption "Other Service Providers - Legal Counsel" in the
Statement of Additional Information for the IIFI Funds, all of which are
included in the Registration Statement.

                                     Very truly yours,

                                     /s/ Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll, LLP
