TEMPLETON EMERGING MARKETS INVESTMENT TRUST PLC
('TEMIT' or 'the Company')
Year to 30 April 1999
The Company today announced its annual results for the year to
30 April 1999:
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
AT 30 April 1999 TEMIT's net assets stood at £721.6m compared
with £686.6m a year ago. The diluted net asset value per share
was 149.95 pence a rise of 4.3% on the year. This compares
with a fall of 4.8% in the IFCI Composite Index. The discount
to diluted net asset value at 30 April 1999 was 14.3%,
compared to a discount of 16.3% as at 30 April 1998.
Although the primary objective of the fund is long-term
capital appreciation, U.K. tax regulations require that
earnings should be distributed. Accordingly, the Board of
Directors has proposed a cash dividend of 1.10 pence per
Ordinary Share. If approved, this dividend will be paid on 21
September 1999, to Ordinary Shareholders on the register at
close of business on 20 August 1999.
The table below shows the disposition of assets, with
97.6% being invested in equities and the remaining 2.4% held
in fixed income securities and liquid assets. The regional
weightings were Asia/Far East 41.8%, Latin America 35.2%,
Africa 11.1% , Europe 9.1% and the Middle East 0.4%.
At 30 April 1999, the largest individual company holding was
in Telefonos de Mexico (Telmex), Mexico's national telephone
operator. This holding represented about 5.3% of TEMIT's
portfolio. The second largest holding was in Telecomunicacoes
Brasileiras (Telebras), the main Brazilian telecommunications
company (3.5%). The third largest holding was in Thai Farmers
Bank Public Co. (3.3%).
The largest sector in which TEMIT invested was the
telecommunications sector which accounted for 18.7% of the
portfolio. Banking was the second largest sector, representing
17.7%.
A high degree of volatility has been a feature of emerging
markets investing in the year under review. These are the
conditions when an active approach to fund management can add
value for shareholders with the Manager taking advantage of
extreme market conditions to buy or sell at favourable prices.
However the Manager will only invest in countries where the
custodial arrangements are satisfactory and other arrangements
are in place to safeguard TEMIT's investment.
TEMIT was established in 1989 and the first net asset value
per share was published in July of that year. The average
annual growth in net asset value per share from that date
until 30 April 1999 has been 14.8%. The Manager's approach of
in-depth research into stocks which it believes to be under-
valued and taking a long-term approach has been a successful
one. Since inception TEMIT's net asset value has risen by
283.2% in sterling terms compared with a rise of 151.0% in the
IFCI Composite Index and 180.0% in the MSCI Emerging Markets
Free Index.
The Manager believes that emerging markets will continue to
provide good opportunities for long-term capital growth. Many
of the world's developing economies have shown the capacity to
provide strong growth in GDP and have proved able to adapt to
changing economic circumstances and withstand volatile market
conditions.
It is a requirement of the Company's constitution that a vote
should be taken every five years to decide on its
continuation. Your Board believes that it is in the best
interests of the Shareholders and Warrantholders for the
Company to continue as an investment trust. A resolution
proposing the continuation of the Company will be put to the
Annual General Meeting in September.

INVESTMENT REVIEW
This is the investment review for Templeton Emerging Markets
Investment Trust PLC covering the twelve-month period ending
30 April, 1999. During the past 12 months, emerging markets
saw crises in Russia and Brazil in addition to the economic
crisis in Asia. As a result, the benchmark MSCI Emerging
Markets Free and IFCI Composite indices lost 6.7% and 4.8%,
respectively, in Sterling terms. However, the Trust showed a
positive return of 4.3% during the same period.
During the renewed downtrend in emerging equity markets, the
Trust held 8% of its portfolio in cash as of May 1998.
However, restructuring of the Trust was initiated throughout
the descent in preparation for the recovery to come. As a
result, cash levels escalated, reaching 26% as of end-July
1998. The well-publicised recovery began in September 1998 in
Asia and then spread throughout the emerging market universe
as interest rates were reduced and liquidity returned to
emerging markets. By end-October the Trust's cash levels had
fallen to around 18%, as investments were made. And by the end
of 1998 the Trust was again fully invested, with cash levels
at 2%, the same level as at the year end.
In May 1998, the Trust's greatest exposure was to holdings in
Latin America (32%), Asia (27%) and Emerging Europe (24%).
However, as a part of the restructuring process, holdings in
Greece and Portugal were sold in late 1998 as it was felt they
had become fully valued and better opportunities existed
elsewhere. Thus, holdings in Portugal's Banco Comercial
Portugues (BCP) and Banco Portugues do Investmento (BPI), as
well as Greece's Alpha Credit Bank, which combined accounted
for 9% of the Trust as of May 1998, were realised fully.
The restructuring heavily favoured companies in the Asian and
Latin American regions as companies found in these regions
were among the cheapest in the world and it was believed that
they would be the first to show signs of a recovery. The
Trust's exposure to South Africa was also increased in
anticipation of an upswing in commodity prices. So far, both
assumptions have been proven correct. The recovery for many
Asian stocks began in September 1998, taking the Trust's
exposure in the region to 42% by end-April 1999. Three new
companies were added to the Trust's top 10 holdings,
Thailand's Thai Farmers Bank, South Korea's Korea Electric
Power Corporation (KEPCO) and Singapore's City Developments
Limited. Within the region, the negative effects of currency
controls imposed in Malaysia and political turmoil in India
reduced the Trust's exposure to these two markets, while the
positive effects of South Korea's restructuring effort greatly
increased exposure to Korean companies. The delay of a
recovery in Latin American stocks until the float of the
Brazilian Real in mid-January 1999 meant that exposure to the
region remained relatively constant at 35%, with the greatest
exposure continuing to be to companies in Brazil and Mexico.
The Trust's exposure to African companies was increased to 11%
by end-April 1999, while the mentioned sell-off of Greek and
Portuguese companies reduced exposure to Emerging Europe from
24% to 9%.
Market strength in Latin America since the devaluation of the
Brazilian Real in January 1999 shows little sign of weakening.
Demand for Brazilian stocks should remain strong as long as
the government keeps inflation under control and successfully
lowers interest rates. Mexico should continue to benefit from
the strength of the U.S. economy and its position as the U.S's
second largest trading partner. Sentiment may weaken over the
short term as political uncertainty increases prior to the
2000 presidential elections. Continued recovery in prices of
key commodities such as oil, copper and agricultural products
should contribute stability to the Latin American region as
governments adjust to the increased income. The economies of
Chile and Venezuela continue to suffer from strict government
austerity and reduced export earnings, but in the case of
Venezuela, this could change as newly elected President Chavez
undertakes reforms.
We believe the recovery in many Asian countries has reached a
level of sustainability and growth should continue over the
next three to four years. Over the short term, however, market
tendencies to front-run actual economic improvement should
result in some profit taking and a cooling of individual
market advances. South Korea has been an early favourite as
the government has actively pursued the opening of many
industries and greater foreign investor involvement. However,
President Kim's plans for a restructuring of the nation's
conglomerates, or chaebol, has yet to be implemented and,
while positive for the economy over the long run, hardship
will be felt in the future, further adding to short-term
volatility.
Thailand appears to be another market with significant long-
term potential. Thai stocks experienced phenomenal growth in
April as investors became interested in the value offered by
Thai companies.

Letter from Turkey
I write to you now from the edge of Europe - Istanbul, Turkey.
The day is quiet, and I have set time aside to write this
letter and review the faxes and email which are my constant
travelling companions. During my travels here I never cease to
be amazed by the variations contained within this sprawling
city. Istanbul's tumultuous past is reflected throughout the
city, giving one a sense of being out of time, out of place.
The 'foggy' winter air adds to the sense of otherworldliness,
and as I look down now from my hotel window over the
Dolmabahce Mosque and then the Bosphorus, I can easily imagine
the sporadic crowd noises I hear come from races at the
ancient Hippodrome rather than the modern-day soccer stadium
down the road.
Istanbul has been razed and reborn numerous times throughout
its history, a pattern which appears to be repeated in the
movements of its modern-day stock market. A glance at the
Istanbul National-100 index in U.S.Dollar terms over the past
three or so years shows no fewer than four significant ascents
and two major crashes. Between those crashes, one in 1995 (-
79%) and one in 1998 (-58%), the market appreciated over 380%,
showing the country's potential for growth when times are
good. As I write this letter, however, things are not so good
and the market is fluctuating near the bottom hit during the
latest crash. I believe the long-term potential for growth
remains despite present conditions, and the depressed state of
the market offers a great opportunity to find the bargains I
like, those which are cheap due to sentiment and overselling,
not because of fundamentals.
Why do I say this? Well, to get the full picture we need to
step back and look at the environment in which Turkish stocks
are being traded. At the widest view, we have the recent float
of the Brazilian currency and questions about the effects that
it will have on Latin America as a whole. Occurring just as
international investors were recovering from the 1997/98
crisis in Asia, the Latin American situation has once again
dampened sentiment towards emerging markets investing.
Compounding this, and much closer to home, is uncertainty in
Russia. The Russian president has been repeatedly hospitalised
and terms of the controversial restructuring of the domestic
debt market have yet to be agreed upon. These factors have
sent the Russian market on a roller coaster ride for months,
and with each reversal the future direction of the country
becomes more cloudy.
The current unpopularity of emerging markets has added to the
risk premium being attributed to investments made here, making
it more difficult to raise money for corporate growth. The
Turkish government has recently rolled over its foreign and
domestic debt obligations. However, the risk premium has made
this refinancing costly, and servicing of government debt is
now expected to total more than 11% of Turkey's gross national
product (GNP). While this level is sustainable, it will not be
for long if interest rates continue to climb.
Within Turkey, the negative sentiment facing the market stems
not only from high interest rates, but from a lack of a strong
government. In 1998 the government of Mesut Yelmaz fell to
allegations of corruption. Since then, formation of a
government has been difficult. A government was eventually
formed by the combined powers of Yelmaz's Motherland Party and
the Democratic Left Party of Bulent Ecevit, the current prime
minister. However, this government is only temporary, facing
elections in April 1999, so little forward planning can be
expected. Luckily, Turkish people are used to changes in
government, as evidenced by the 56 governments formed over the
75-year life of the Turkish Republic. But to international
players a lack of strong government means increased risk, and
the appetite for risk is currently very low.
With the political sentiment improving, support for the
present government - which is luckily favoured by the stock
market - should increase, further adding to national
stability. Another boon is that Turkey's excessive military
spending could be reduced, hinting at a possible reduction of
the country's 7% budget deficit. Yes, this is good news, the
kind that turns sentiment and starts a rally . . . I am glad I
am here to witness its effects firsthand.
