SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[File No. 1-10996]


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of Aberdeen Global Income 
Fund, Inc., to Withdraw its Common Stock, $.001 Par Value, From Listing 
and Registration on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc.

November 17, 2004.
    On October 28, 2004, Aberdeen Global Income Fund, Inc., a Maryland 
corporation (``Issuer''), filed an application with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to section 12(d) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) 
thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its common stock, $.001 par value 
(``Security''), from listing and registration on the New York Stock 
Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE'').

    The Board of Directors (``Board'') of the Issuer approved a 
resolution on June 9, 2004 to withdraw the Issuer's Security from 
listing on the NYSE and to list on the American Stock Exchange LLC 
(``Amex''). The Board stated that it determined to withdraw its 
Security from the NYSE and to list the Security on the Amex for the 
following reasons: (i) The Board considered that the Issuer will pay 
lower listing fees to the Amex than the listing fees that are currently 
paid to the NYSE; (ii) the Board considered that the two other closed-
end investment companies (``funds''), in the same fund complex as the 
Issuer, have their common stock currently listed on the Amex; (iii) the 
Amex caps annual listing fees for multiple closed-end funds of the same 
sponsor, which will result in savings for both the Issuer and the other 
funds in the fund complex; and (iv) the Issuer also

considered the fact that monitoring compliance with one set of listing 
requirements, rather than monitoring compliance with the listing 
requirements of both the NYSE and the Amex, as is currently the case, 
would result in administrative efficiencies.
    The Issuer represented in its application that it has complied with 
the NYSE's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a 
security and with all applicable laws in effect in the State of 
Maryland, the state in which it is incorporated. The Issuer's 
application relates solely to the withdrawal of the Security from 
listing on the NYSE, and shall not affect its continued listing on the 
Amex or its obligation to be registered under section 12(b) of the 
Act.\3\

accordance with the rules of the NYSE and what terms, if any, should be 
imposed by the Commission for the protection of investors. All comment 
letters may be submitted by either of the following methods:
