                                 Morgan Stanley Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Inc.

Swaps. A swap is a derivative in the form of an agreement to exchange the return
generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The
payment streams are calculated by reference to a specified index and agreed upon
notional amount. The term "specified index" includes currencies, fixed interest
rates, prices, total return on interest rate indices, fixed income indices,
stock indices and commodity indices (as well as amounts derived from arithmetic
operations on these indices). For example, the Fund may agree to swap the return
generated by a fixed income index for the return generated by a second fixed
income index. The currency swaps in which the Fund may enter will generally
involve an agreement to pay interest streams in one currency based on a
specified index in exchange for receiving interest streams denominated in
another currency. Such swaps may involve initial and final exchanges that
correspond to the agreed upon notional amount. The Fund intends to use interest
rate swaps for hedging purposes, to manage the maturity and duration of the
Fund, or to gain exposure to a market without directly investing in securities
traded in that market.

The swaps in which the Fund may engage also include rate caps, floors and
collars under which one party pays a single or periodic fixed amount(s) (or
premium), and the other party pays periodic amounts based on the movement of a
specified index. Swaps do not involve the delivery of securities, other
underlying assets, or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to
swaps is limited to the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually
obligated to make. If the other party to a swap defaults, the Fund's risk of
loss consists of the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually
entitled to receive. Currency swaps usually involve the delivery of the entire
principal value of one designated currency in exchange for the other designated
currency. Therefore, the entire principal value of a currency swap is subject to
the risk that the other party to the swap will default on its contractual
delivery obligations. If there is a default by the counterparty, the Fund may
have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction.
The swap market has grown substantially in recent years with a large number of
banks and investment banking firms acting both as principals and as agents
utilizing standardized swap documentation. As a result, the swap market has
become relatively liquid. Caps, floors and collars are more recent innovations
for which standardized documentation has not yet been fully developed and,
accordingly, they are less liquid than swaps.

The Fund will usually enter into swaps on a net basis, i.e., the two payment
streams are netted out in a cash settlement on the payment date or dates
specified in the instrument, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may
be, only the net amount of the two payments. The Fund's obligations under a swap
agreement will be accrued daily (offset against any amounts owing to the Fund)
and any accrued but unpaid net amounts owed to a swap Counterparty will be
covered by the maintenance of a segregated account consisting of cash or liquid
securities to avoid any potential leveraging of the Fund.

The Fund may enter into OTC derivatives transactions (swaps, caps, floors, puts,
etc., but excluding foreign exchange contracts) with counterparties that are
approved by the Investment Adviser in accordance with guidelines established by the Board. These guidelines provide for a minimum credit rating for each counterparty and various credit enhancement techniques (for example, collateralization of amounts due from counterparties) to limit exposure to counterparties with ratings below AA.
Interest rate and total rate of return swaps do not involve the delivery of
securities, other underlying assets, or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss
with respect to interest rate and total rate of return swaps is limited to the
net amount of interest payments that the Fund is contractually obligated to
make. If the other party to an interest rate or total rate of return swap
defaults, the Fund's risk of loss consists of the net amount of interest
payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive. In contrast,
currency swaps may involve the delivery of the entire principal value of one
designated currency in exchange for the other designated currency. Therefore,
the entire principal value of a currency swap may be subject to the risk that
the other party to the swap will default on its contractual delivery
obligations. If there is a default by the counterparty, the Fund may have
contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction.

The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity which involves investment
techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary fund
securities transactions. If the Investment Adviser is incorrect in its forecasts
of market values, interest rates, and currency exchange rates, the investment
performance of the Fund would be less favorable than it would have been if this
investment technique were not used.

The Fund may enter into credit default swap contracts for hedging purposes, to
add leverage to its portfolio or to gain exposure to a credit in which the Fund
may otherwise invest. As the seller in a credit default swap contract, the Fund
would be required to pay the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced
debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default by a third party,
such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer, on the debt obligation. In return,
the Fund would receive from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over
the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no
default occurs, the Fund would keep the stream of payments and would have no
payment obligations. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to
the Fund because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject
to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.

The Fund may also purchase credit default swap contracts in order to hedge
against the risk of default of debt securities held in the Fund, in which case
the Fund would function as the counterparty referenced in the preceding
paragraph. This would involve the risk that the investment may expire worthless
and would generate income only in the event of an actual default by the issuer
of the underlying obligation (as opposed to a credit downgrade or other
indication of financial instability). It would also involve credit risk that the
seller may fail to satisfy its payment obligations to the Fund in the event of a
default.

The Fund will earmark or segregate assets in the form of cash and cash
equivalents in an amount equal to the aggregate market value of the credit
default swaps of which it is the seller, marked to market on a daily basis.

      Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Morgan Stanley Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Morgan Stanley Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007, in accordance with the standards of the Public Fund Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we considered the Fund's internal control over financial reporting, including controls over safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. A Fund's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Fund's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Fund; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and exp
enditures of the Fund are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Fund; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a Fund's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Fund's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Fund Accounting Oversight Board (United States). However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund's internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including controls over safeguarding securities, that we consider to be a material weakness as defined above as of December 31, 2007.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Directors of Morgan Stanley Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Inc. and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
