         __________________________________


Ladies and Gentlemen:

          Pursuant to Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Act"), I, as Secretary of Morgan Stanley Emerging
Markets Debt Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), hereby certify (i) that the
form of prospectus that would have been filed under Rule 497(c) of
the Act would not have differed from that contained in Pre-
Effective Amendment No. 2 of the Registration Statement (the
"Registration Statement"), which is the Fund's most recent
registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission"), and (ii) that the Registration
Statement was filed electronically on July 19, 1995.  The Fund's
Registration Statement was declared effective by the Commission at
2:45 p.m. on July 19, 1995.  A form of Statement of Additional
Information has not been filed because no such form was used.

                                                Sincerely,

                                                /s/ Valerie Y. Lewis

                                                Valerie Y. Lewis
                                                Secretary
