                 Re:  Rule 24f-2 Notice for AIM International Funds, Inc.
                      (Securities Act File No. 33-44611)

Gentlemen:

                 We have acted as counsel to AIM International Funds, Inc. (the
"Fund"), a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Maryland and
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as an open-end series management investment company.

                 We have been informed that a registration statement on Form
N-1A, as amended ("Registration Statement") relating to an indefinite number of
shares of common stock of the Fund, par value $.001 per share (the "Shares")
has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Act of 1933 (Securities Act File No. 33-44611).

                 We further understand that, pursuant to the provisions of Rule
24f-2, the Fund is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission a notice
(the "Notice") making definite the registration of such Shares sold in reliance
on Rule 24f-2 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1996.  Specifically, we
have been informed by the Fund that a total of 177,658,483 Shares (representing
interests in series portfolios existing during such fiscal year) were issued
from time to time during such fiscal year under Prospectuses which were
included as part of the Registration Statement.  The Fund has requested our
opinion in connection with the filing of such Notice, for inclusion in such
filing.

                 In connection with our giving this opinion, we have examined a
copy of the Charter of the Fund, as restated, 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.  As to various questions of fact material to our
opinion, we have relied upon information provided by officers of the Fund.

                 Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the
177,658,483 Shares issued by the Fund during its fiscal year ended October 31,
1996 were, when issued for payment as described in the Fund's Prospectuses
referred to above, legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable by the Fund.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        /s/ BALLARD SPAHR ANDREWS & INGERSOLL
