SHAREHOLDER
LETTER
Dear
Shareholder:
The
12
months
ended
December
31,
2021,
saw
extraordinary
conditions
across
global
financial
markets
as
the
world
attempted
to
emerge
from
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
During
2021,
global
fixed
income
markets
endured
multiple
cycles
of
sharply
rising
and
falling
yields,
broad
U.S.
dollar
strengthening
and
reversals,
idiosyncratic
drivers
in
individual
local-currency
markets,
massive
economic
recoveries
and
setbacks,
global
supply
chain
disruptions,
rising
inflationary
pressures
in
the
Americas
and
Europe,
and
a
major
pivot
toward
global
monetary
tightening
in
2021’s
second
half
after
extraordinary,
highly
correlated
global
easing
in
2020
and
early
2021.
Overall,
sovereign
bond
yields
rose
in
most
countries
while
the
U.S.
dollar
strengthened,
although
with
intermittently
declining
yields
in
various
countries
and
shifting
cycles
of
currency
appreciation/depreciation
in
individual
currency
pairings.
Through
these
varying
conditions,
we
remained
committed
to
pursuing
our
investment
objectives.
In
this
environment,
global
government
bonds,
as
measured
by
the
FTSE
World
Government
Bond
Index,
posted
total
returns
of
-6.97%
and
-2.57%
in
U.S.
dollar
and
local
currency
terms,
respectively.
1
Historically,
patient
investors
have
achieved
rewarding
results
by
evaluating
their
goals,
diversifying
their
assets
globally
and
maintaining
a
disciplined
investment
program,
all
hallmarks
of
the
Templeton
investment
philosophy.
We
continue
to
recommend
investors
consult
their
financial
professionals
and
review
their
portfolios
to
design
a
long-term
strategy
and
portfolio
allocation
that
meet
their
individual
needs,
goals
and
risk
tolerance.

Economic
and
Market
Overview
The
12-month
period
ended
December
31,
2021,
was
a
tale
of
two
halves.
The
first
half
was
characterized
by
exuberant
optimism
for
an
end
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic,
punctuated
by
a
surge
in
economic
activity
in
the
spring
as
lockdowns
were
eased
and
economies
reopened.
The
second
half
was
characterized
by
rising
inflation
and
incremental
shifts
towards
monetary
tightening,
with
several
emerging
markets
entering
rate
hiking
cycles
ahead
of
the
major
developed
markets.
On
the
whole,
sovereign
bond
yields
rose
in
most
countries
during
the
period
while
the
U.S.
dollar
(USD)
broadly
strengthened,
albeit
with
intermittent
episodes
of
declining
yields
in
various
countries
and
shifting
cycles
of
currency
appreciation/depreciation
in
individual
currency
pairings.
*Includes
foreign
government
and
agency
securities,
money
market
funds
and
other
net
assets
(including
derivatives).
**Includes
securities
determined
to
have
no
value
at
12/31/21.
The
period
began
with
sovereign
bond
yields
rising
sharply
across
much
of
the
world
over
the
first
three
months.
The
yield
on
the
10-year
U.S.
Treasury
(UST)
note
would
reach
its
high
mark
for
the
entire
period
on
March
31
at
1.74%,
82
basis
points
(bps)
higher
than
where
it
finished
2020.
Vaccine
distributions,
ongoing
stimulus
measures
and
optimism
for
improving
economic
conditions
appeared
to
fuel
reflation
expectations
across
global
financial
markets.
However,
the
harsh
realities
of
the
worldwide
health
crisis
and
economic
hardship
continued
to
have
profound
consequences
for
lives
and
livelihoods
around
the
world
in
the
winter
and
early
spring
months
of
2021.
Vaccine
distributions
progressively
accelerated
in
many
countries
during
the
first
half
of
2021,
though
supply
setbacks
notably
affected
areas
of
Europe
in
March
and
April.
Governments
continued
to
struggle
with
balancing
the
needs
of
their
economies
with
the
health
of
their
citizens
during
much
of
the
first
quarter
of
2021
before
higher
vaccination
rates
and
lower
case
levels
enabled
many
regions
to
progressively
reopen
their
economies
in
the
spring.
Rising
yields
strained
valuations
across
many
areas
of
the
global
fixed
income
markets
during
2021’s
first
three
months.
USD-denominated
sovereign
credit
sectors
broadly
saw
negative
returns
in
January,
February
and
March
before
sharply

Annual
Report
April,
May
and
June
as
UST
yields
pulled
back
from
their
late-March
peaks.
Sovereign
bond
yields
generally
resumed
their
rising
trends
in
May
and
June
amid
rising
inflation
in
many
areas
of
Europe
and
the
Americas.
In
currency
markets,
the
USD
broadly
strengthened
against
a
number
of
developed
market
and
emerging
market
currencies
in
the
first
quarter
of
2021,
reversing
the
broad-based
weakening
trend
from
the
second
half
of
2020.
Broad
USD
weakness
returned
in
April
and
May
before
the
strengthening
pattern
returned
in
June.
Business
and
consumer
confidence
surveys
notably
strengthened
in
multiple
regions
during
the
second
quarter
of
2021,
despite
some
growing
concerns
over
the
proliferation
of
the
Delta
variant
of
COVID-19
in
several
parts
of
the
world
in
June.
Economic
activity
continued
to
broadly
expand
in
many
countries
in
the
second
quarter,
largely
driven
by
strength
in
goods
sectors
and
manufacturing,
as
well
as
historically
high
savings
rates
in
many
countries
that
helped
fuel
demand.
On
the
whole,
the
second
quarter
would
represent
the
largest
quarterly
surge
in
GDP
for
most
countries
in
2021.
In
the
second
half
of
2021,
sovereign
bond
yields
would
largely
continue
to
rise
across
much
of
the
world
as
central
banks
continued
to
wade
deeper
into
monetary
tightening
cycles.
Developed
market
sovereign
bond
yields
initially
declined
in
July
and
early
August
as
the
Delta
variant
proliferated
across
multiple
regions.
The
10-year
UST
note’s
yield
dropped
to
1.17%
on
August
3
as
risk
aversion
resurfaced,
its
lowest
level
since
mid-February.
However,
sovereign
bond
yields
largely
trended
higher
from
that
point
through
the
end
of
the
year
as
investor
sentiments
appeared
to
refortify.
In
September,
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(Fed)
announced
it
would
begin
tapering
its
asset
purchases
in
the
fourth
quarter
of
2021.
The
hawkish
shift
added
further
upward
pressure
on
UST
yields
and
drove
broad
strengthening
of
the
USD.
Sovereign
bond
yields
continued
to
trend
higher
in
many
regions
over
the
following
month,
with
the
10-
year
UST
note
reaching
1.70%
on
October
21,
its
highest
yield
since
early
April.
Sovereign
bond
yields
largely
maintained
their
levels
over
subsequent
weeks
until
the
Omicron
variant
of
COVID-19
emerged
in
the
final
days
of
November,
triggering
broad-based
risk
aversion
across
global
financial
markets
and
perceived
safe-haven
rallies
in
several
developed
market
assets.
Crude
oil
prices
dropped
around
20%
in
November
on
global
growth
concerns,
with
the
bulk
of
the
price
adjustments
occurring
in
the
wake
of
the
Omicron
news.
Sovereign
bond
yields
declined
in
several
developed
markets
in
late
November
and
early
December
on
the
heightened
risk
aversion
before
global
growth
concerns
eventually
dissipated
in
the
second
half
of
the
month,
even
as
COVID-19
cases
surged
to
record
levels.
Disease
severity
from
Omicron
appeared
milder
than
previous
variants,
leading
to
a
significant
decoupling
of
the
trend
lines
for
case
numbers
(rising
sharply)
and
mortality
rates
(moderating).
We
expected
COVID-19
variants
to
not
derail
global
growth
momentum,
though
the
risks
continued
to
bear
monitoring.
Commodity
and
energy
prices
ultimately
rebounded
in
December,
recovering
much
of
the
price
corrections
from
the
prior
month
as
reflation
sentiments
returned
to
global
financial
markets.
Manufacturing
and
business
surveys
largely
continued
to
remain
at
expansionary
levels
across
much
of
the
world
during
the
second
half
of
2021
but
moderated
from
their
mid-year
peaks.
Consumer
confidence
surveys
showed
similar
trends.
Labor
market
conditions
generally
continued
to
improve
in
many
countries,
though
labor
shortages
and
unemployment
remained
above
prepandemic
levels
in
several
regions.
Overall,
global
growth
showed
signs
of
moderating
from
the
historically
strong
rebound
in
the
first
half
of
2021
but
remained
largely
resilient,
in
our
view.
Inflation
figures
remained
historically
high
across
many
parts
of
the
world
during
the
second
half
of
the
period,
driven
by
a
combination
of
factors
that
included
resurgent
economic
activity,
supply
disruptions
in
certain
sectors,
and
the
effects
of
massive
fiscal
and
monetary
stimulus
measures.
Headline
inflation
(Consumer
Price
Index)
in
the
U.S.
remained
at
or
above
5.0%
year-over-year
from
May
through
the
end
of
2021,
coming
in
at
6.8%
in
November,
its
highest
level
since
1982.
A
growing
number
of
central
banks
pursued
monetary
tightening
measures
in
the
second
half
of
the
year,
with
persistent
inflationary
pressures
in
several
emerging
markets
motivating
aggressive
tightening
responses.
In
Latin
America,
Brazil’s
central
bank
hiked
its
policy
rate
by
725
bps
in
2021,
Chile
by
350
bps,
Peru
by
225
bps,
Mexico
by
150
bps
and
Colombia
by
125
bps.
In
eastern
Europe,
Russia
hiked
its
policy
rate
by
425
bps,
the
Czech
Republic
by
300
bps,
Hungary
by
180
bps
and
Poland
by
165
bps.
Most
countries
in
Asia
kept
policy
rates
unchanged
as
inflation
generally
remained
more
contained
and
within
central
bank
targets.
In
developed
markets,
most
central
banks
continued
to
keep
their
policy
rates
unchanged
at
extraordinarily
low
levels
during
the
year,
with
some
exceptions.
Norway
posted
two
25-bp
hikes
in
2021
to
bring
its
policy
rate
to
0.50%;
the
U.K.
Templeton
Global
Total
Return
Fund
5
franklintempleton.com
Annual
Report
hiked
its
policy
rate
by
15
bps
to
0.25%
in
December,
its
first
rate
adjustment
since
March
2020;
New
Zealand
posted
consecutive
25-bp
hikes
in
October
and
November,
bringing
its
policy
rate
to
0.75%;
and
South
Korea
hiked
its
policy
rate
25
bps
in
August
and
November
to
1.00%.
Other
developed
market
central
banks,
such
as
in
Canada,
Sweden
and
Australia,
remained
on
hold
with
policy
rates
in
2021,
but
were
at
various
stages
of
tapering
their
asset
purchase
programs.
The
Fed
kept
the
federal
funds
target
rate
unchanged
(0.00%
to
0.25%)
at
each
of
its
policy
meetings
during
the
period
but
it
began
tapering
its
asset
purchases
in
November.
However,
the
Fed
quickly
shifted
in
a
hawkish
direction
at
its
December
meeting,
doubling
the
pace
of
its
asset
purchase
tapering
for
January.
The
accelerated
pace
put
the
asset
purchase
program
on
schedule
to
conclude
by
March
2022,
enabling
a
rate
hiking
cycle
to
start
in
March
or
May,
earlier
than
previously
indicated
at
the
November
meeting.
Additionally,
the
Fed’s
dot
plot
survey
in
December
showed
that
12
of
18
officials
expect
at
least
three
rate
hikes
in
2022,
a
substantial
change
from
the
September
survey
that
saw
nine
of
18
officials
project
no
hikes
until
2023.
We
expected
UST
term
premiums
to
ratchet
higher
in
upcoming
quarters,
with
a
bear-flattening
effect
driven
by
rising
yields
in
the
short-
to
intermediate-term
range
of
the
yield
curve.
The
European
Central
Bank
(ECB)
kept
monetary
policy
largely
unchanged
during
the
period,
leaving
the
main
refinancing
operations
rate
at
0.0%
and
the
main
deposit
facility
rate
at
-0.5%.
ECB
President
Christine
Lagarde
reaffirmed
at
the
October
and
December
meetings
that
key
rates
will
likely
remain
unchanged
through
2022.
The
ongoing
accommodative
policy
stance
from
the
ECB
appeared
likely
to
diverge
substantially
from
the
tightening
trajectory
of
the
Fed
in
2022.
We
expected
the
euro
to
weaken
against
the
USD
given
negative
rates
and
widening
rate
differentials
with
the
U.S.,
as
well
as
greater
headwinds
to
growth
in
Europe.
The
Bank
of
Japan
(BOJ)
also
kept
monetary
policy
largely
unchanged
during
the
period,
leaving
the
overnight
interest
rate
at
-0.1%
and
the
yield
target
on
the
10-
year
Japanese
government
bond
at
0.0%.
In
December,
the
BOJ
announced
plans
to
scale
down
its
emergency
pandemic
purchasing
measures
by
tapering
its
corporate
debt
purchases
to
precrisis
levels
by
April.
We
expected
the
Japanese
yen
to
face
headwinds
from
widening
rate
differentials
with
the
U.S.
Overall,
most
developed
markets
saw
10-year
sovereign
bond
yields
rise
during
the
period,
including
Norway,
Sweden,
the
U.K.,
South
Korea,
Canada
and
core
Europe.
The
yield
on
the
10-year
UST
note
finished
the
year
at
1.51%,
59
bps
higher
than
where
it
ended
2020.
In
emerging
markets,
10-year
sovereign
bond
yields
rose
sharply
across
much
of
Latin
America,
including
Brazil,
Mexico,
Colombia,
Chile
and
Peru.
In
eastern
Europe,
10-year
yields
trended
higher
in
Poland,
Hungary,
Russia
and
The
Czech
Republic
on
elevated
inflation
and
ongoing
monetary
tightening.
Yields
also
rose
in
much
of
Asia,
including
India,
Indonesia,
Thailand
and
Singapore,
but
declined
in
China.
USD-denominated
sovereign
credit
sectors
broadly
saw
moderately
negative
returns
for
the
period
(with
some
exceptions
in
individual
countries),
as
the
investment-
grade
credit
tiers
came
under
pressure
from
the
rising
yield
environment
while
high-yield
credit
tiers
largely
endured
additional
spread
widening.
In
currency
markets,
the
USD
broadly
strengthened
against
most
developed
market
and
emerging
market
currencies
in
2021,
appreciating
against
the
euro,
the
British
pound,
the
Japanese
yen,
the
South
Korean
won,
the
Australian
dollar
and
the
New
Zealand
dollar.
In
specific
pairings,
the
Norwegian
krone
and
the
Canadian
dollar
appreciated
against
the
euro,
while
the
Swedish
krona
depreciated.
In
emerging
markets,
the
USD
depreciated
against
the
Chinese
yuan,
but
appreciated
against
most
currencies
in
Latin
America
and
Asia,
including
the
Brazilian
real,
Mexican
peso,
Colombian
peso,
Chilean
peso,
Indian
rupee,
Indonesian
rupiah,
Singapore
dollar
and
Thai
baht.
Investment
Strategy
We
invest
selectively
in
bonds
around
the
world
based
upon
our
assessment
of
changing
market,
political
and
economic
conditions.
While
seeking
opportunities,
we
consider
various
factors
including
evaluation
of
interest
rates,
currency
exchange
rate
changes
and
credit
risks.
For
purposes
of
pursuing
its
investment
goals,
the
Fund
regularly
enters
into
various
currency
related
transactions
involving
derivative
instruments,
principally
currency
and
cross
currency
forwards,
but
it
may
also
use
currency
and
currency
index
futures
contracts
and
currency
options.
Manager’s
Discussion
The
successful
development
of
vaccines
against
COVID-19
in
final
months
of
2020
substantially
changed
our
outlook
and
positioning
for
2021.
In
the
weeks
before
the
12-month
reporting
period
began,
we
significantly
shifted
the
emphasis
of
the
Fund’s
strategic
positioning
from
a
safe-haven
stance
toward
an
increasing
allocation
to
risk
assets.
We
expected
a
rebound
in
global
economic
activity
and
improving
economic
conditions
in
the
spring
and
summer
months
of
Templeton
Global
Total
Return
Fund
6
franklintempleton.com
Annual
Report
2021
as
vaccines
were
progressively
distributed
and
people
increasingly
reengaged
with
the
world.
We
were
actively
constructive
in
a
number
of
regions
throughout
the
12-month
period,
particularly
in
areas
of
Asia
that
appeared
to
be
at
the
forefront
of
the
global
economic
recovery.
Overall,
the
Fund
was
focused
on
three
core
themes
during
the
period:
(1)
value
in
select
currencies
against
the
USD
and
the
euro,
specifically
in
countries
with
strong
trade
dynamics,
current
account
surpluses,
better
fiscal
management
and
stronger
growth
potential,
notably
in
Asia;
(2)
avoiding
interest-rate
risks
in
low-yielding
developed
markets;
and
(3)
pursuing
sovereign
bonds
with
relatively
higher
yields
in
a
select
set
of
resilient
emerging
markets.
At
the
beginning
of
the
period,
the
Fund
held
overweighted
positions
in
specific
currencies
against
the
USD
and
the
euro.
We
held
notable
exposures
to
the
Chinese
yuan,
the
South
Korean
won,
the
Indian
rupee,
the
Indonesian
rupiah
and
the
Japanese
yen
against
the
USD.
We
added
exposure
to
the
Singapore
dollar
in
April,
the
New
Zealand
dollar
in
June
and
the
Thai
baht
in
December.
We
held
a
significant
overweighted
position
in
the
Japanese
yen
through
the
first
quarter
of
2021
before
reducing
it
to
a
modest
overweighting
in
the
second
quarter
and
reducing
it
to
an
underweighted
position
in
the
fourth
quarter.
In
EMEA,
we
held
exposures
in
the
Norwegian
krone
and
Swedish
krona
against
the
euro
throughout
2021,
as
well
as
exposures
to
the
Russian
ruble
and
the
Egyptian
pound
against
the
USD.
In
the
Americas,
we
held
long
exposure
to
the
Canadian
dollar
against
the
euro,
and
long
exposures
to
the
Colombian
peso
and
Brazilian
real
against
the
USD.
In
May,
we
added
exposure
to
the
Chilean
peso
against
the
USD.
During
the
period,
we
used
currency
forwards
and
currency
options
to
actively
manage
currency
exposures.
We
also
continued
to
focus
on
compelling
risk-adjusted
yields
in
various
local-currency
bond
markets,
specifically
in
countries
with
resilient
economies
and
strong
trade
dynamics.
We
continued
to
largely
avoid
developed
market
duration
exposures
in
preference
for
higher
yields
available
in
select
emerging
markets,
notably
including
Indonesia,
India,
Mexico,
Colombia,
Brazil
and
Ghana,
among
others.
After
exiting
our
local-currency
position
in
Brazil
in
the
first
quarter
of
2021
due
to
acute
political
and
economic
risks,
we
reestablished
the
position
in
the
second
quarter
as
political
compromises
in
the
spring
and
better-than
expected
economic
figures
supported
an
improved
outlook.
In
July,
we
added
to
our
local-currency
position
in
Brazil.
We
also
saw
pockets
of
value
in
certain
USD-denominated
sovereign
credits
during
the
reporting
period,
but
we
continued
to
largely
prefer
specific
valuations
in
the
local-currency
markets
over
the
more
fully
valued
credit
markets.
During
the
period,
the
Fund’s
negative
absolute
performance
was
primarily
due
to
currency
positions.
Interest-rate
strategies
contributed
to
absolute
results,
as
did
overall
credit
exposures.
Among
currencies,
positions
in
the
Japanese
yen,
Argentine
peso,
South
Korean
won,
Turkish
lira,
Chilean
peso
and
Colombian
peso
detracted
from
absolute
performance.
However,
the
Fund’s
positions
in
the
Canadian
dollar
and
the
Norwegian
krone
against
the
euro
contributed
to
absolute
results,
as
did
its
position
in
the
Chinese
yuan
against
the
USD.
The
Fund
maintained
a
defensive
approach
regarding
interest
rates
in
developed
markets,
while
holding
duration
exposures
in
select
emerging
markets.
Duration
exposures
in
Argentina,
Ghana
and
Indonesia
contributed
to
absolute
performance.
Among
credit
exposures,
subinvestment-grade
sovereign
credits
contributed
to
absolute
return.
On
a
relative
basis,
the
Fund’s
underperformance
was
primarily
due
to
currency
positions.
Interest-rate
strategies
contributed
to
relative
results,
as
did
overall
credit
exposures.
Among
currencies,
overweighted
positions
in
the
Argentine
peso,
South
Korean
won,
Turkish
lira,
Chilean
peso
and
Colombian
peso
detracted
from
relative
performance,
as
did
the
Fund’s
overweighted
position
in
the
Japanese
yen
for
most
of
the
period.
However,
its
underweighted
exposure
to
the
euro
contributed
to
relative
return,
as
did
overweighted
positions
in
the
Canadian
dollar
and
the
Norwegian
krone
against
the
euro.
Its
position
in
the
Chinese
yuan
against
the
USD
also
contributed
to
relative
results.
The
Fund
maintained
a
defensive
approach
regarding
interest
rates
in
developed
markets,
while
holding
duration
exposures
in
select
emerging
markets.
Overweighted
duration
exposures
in
Argentina,
Ghana
and
Indonesia
contributed
to
relative
performance,
as
did
the
Fund’s
lack
of
duration
exposure
in
the
euro
area.
Among
credit
exposures,
overweighted
exposure
to
subinvestment-
grade
sovereign
credits
contributed
to
relative
return.

Each
class
of
shares
is
available
to
certain
eligible
investors
and
has
different
annual
fees
and
expenses,
as
described
in
the
prospectus.
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
possible
loss
of
principal.
Foreign
securities
involve
special
risks,
including
currency
fluctuations
(which
may
be
sig-
nificant
over
the
short
term)
and
economic
and
political
uncertainties;
investments
in
developing
markets
involve
heightened
risks
related
to
the
same
factors.
Derivatives,
including
currency
management
strategies,
involve
costs
and
can
create
economic
leverage
in
the
portfolio,
which
may
result
in
significant
volatility
and
cause
the
Fund
to
participate
in
losses
on
an
amount
that
exceeds
the
Fund’s
initial
investment.
The
Fund
may
not
achieve
the
anticipated
benefits,
and
may
realize
losses
when
a
counterparty
fails
to
perform
as
promised.
The
markets
for
particular
securities
or
types
of
securities
are
or
may
become
relatively
illiquid.
Reduced
liquidity
will
have
an
adverse
impact
on
the
security’s
value
and
on
the
Fund’s
ability
to
sell
such
securities
when
necessary
to
meet
the
Fund’s
liquidity
needs
or
in
response
to
a
specific
market
event.
Sovereign
debt
securities
are
subject
to
various
risks
in
addition
to
those
relating
to
debt
securities
and
foreign
securities
generally,
including
but
not
limited
to,
the
risk
that
a
government
entity
may
be
unwilling
or
unable
to
pay
interest
and
repay
principal
on
its
sovereign
debt,
or
otherwise
meet
its
obligations
when
due.
Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
As
prices
of
bonds
in
the
Fund
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
the
Fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Changes
in
the
financial
strength
of
a
bond
issuer
or
in
a
bond’s
credit
rating
may
affect
its
value.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
diseases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
The
Fund’s
prospectus
also
includes
a
description
of
the
main
investment
risks.

$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6
).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
(
if
Actual
Expenses
Paid
During
Period
were
$7.50,
then
8.6
x
$7.50
=
$64.50
).
In
this
illustration,
the
actual
expenses
paid
this
period
are
$64.50.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
with
Other
Funds
Under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
in
the
table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.
1.
Expenses
are
equal
to
the
annualized
expense
ratio
for
the
six-month
period
as
indicated
above—in
the
far
right
column—multiplied
by
the
simple
average
account
value
over
the
period
indicated,
and
then
multiplied
by
184/365
to
reflect
the
one-half
year
period.
2.
Reflects
expenses
after
fee
waivers
and
expense
reimbursements.
Does
not
include
acquired
fund
fees
and
expenses.

The
following
summarizes
the Fund's
significant
accounting
policies.
a.
Financial
Instrument
Valuation 
The
Fund's
investments
in
financial
instruments
are
carried
at
fair
value
daily.
Fair
value
is
the
price
that
would
be
received
to
sell
an
asset
or
paid
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
on
the
measurement
date.
The
Fund
calculates
the
net
asset
value
(NAV)
per
share
each business
day as
of
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
or
the
regularly
scheduled
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(NYSE),
whichever
is
earlier.
Under
compliance
policies
and
procedures
approved
by
the
Trust's Board
of
Trustees
(the
Board),
the Fund's
administrator
has
responsibility
for
oversight
of
valuation,
including
leading
the
cross-functional
Valuation
Committee
(VC).
The
Fund
may
utilize
independent
pricing
services,
quotations
from
securities
and
financial
instrument
dealers,
and
other
market
sources
to
determine
fair
value. 
Equity
securities
listed
on
an
exchange
or
on
the
NASDAQ
National
Market
System
are
valued
at
the
last
quoted
sale
price
or
the
official
closing
price of
the
day,
respectively.
Foreign
equity
securities
are
valued
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
foreign
stock
exchange
on
which
the
security
is
primarily
traded,
or
as
of
4
p.m.
Eastern
time.
The
value
is
then
converted
into
its
U.S.
dollar
equivalent
at
the
foreign
exchange
rate
in
effect
at
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
on
the
day
that
the
value
of
the
security
is
determined.
Over-the-counter
(OTC)
securities
are
valued
within
the
range
of
the
most
recent
quoted
bid
and
ask
prices.
Securities
that
trade
in
multiple
markets
or
on
multiple
exchanges
are
valued
according
to
the
broadest
and
most
representative
market.
Certain
equity
securities
are
valued
based
upon
fundamental
characteristics
or
relationships
to
similar
securities. 
Debt
securities
generally
trade
in
the OTC
market
rather
than
on
a
securities
exchange.
The
Fund's
pricing
services
use
multiple
valuation
techniques
to
determine
fair
value.
In
instances
where
sufficient
market
activity
exists,
the
pricing
services
may
utilize
a
market-based
approach
through
which
quotes
from
market
makers
are
used
to
determine
fair
value.
In
instances
where
sufficient
market
activity
may
not
exist
or
is
limited,
the
pricing
services
also
utilize
proprietary
valuation
models
which
may
consider
market
characteristics
such
as
benchmark
yield
curves,
credit
spreads,
estimated
default
rates,
anticipated
market
interest
rate
volatility,
coupon
rates,
anticipated
timing
of
principal
repayments,
underlying
collateral,
and
other
unique
security
features
in
order
to
estimate
the
relevant
cash
flows,
which
are
then
discounted
to
calculate
the
fair
value.
Securities
denominated
in
a
foreign
currency
are
converted
into
their
U.S.
dollar
equivalent
at
the
foreign
exchange
rate
in
effect
at
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
on
the
date
that
the
values
of
the
foreign
debt
securities
are
determined.
Investments
in open-end mutual
funds
are
valued
at
the
closing
NAV.
Certain
derivative
financial
instruments
trade
in
the
OTC
market.
The
Fund's
pricing
services
use
various
techniques
including
industry
standard
option
pricing
models
and
proprietary
discounted
cash
flow
models
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
those
instruments.
The
Fund's
net
benefit
or
obligation
under
the
derivative
contract,
as
measured
by
the
fair
value
of
the
contract,
is
included
in
net
assets.
The
Fund
has
procedures
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments
for
which
market
prices
are
not
reliable
or
readily
available.
Under
these
procedures,
the Fund
primarily
employs
a
market-based
approach
which
may
use
related
or
comparable
assets
or
liabilities,
recent
transactions,
market
multiples,
book
values,
and
other
relevant
information
for
the
investment
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
the
investment.
An
income-based
valuation
approach
may
also
be
used
in
which
the
anticipated
future
cash
flows
of
the
investment
are
discounted
to
calculate
fair
value.
Discounts
may
also
be
applied
due
to
the
nature
or
duration
of
any
restrictions
on
the
disposition
of
the
Templeton
Income
Trust
Notes
to
Financial
Statements
32
franklintempleton.com
Annual
Report
Templeton
Global
Total
Return
Fund
(continued)
investments.
Due
to
the
inherent
uncertainty
of
valuations
of
such
investments,
the
fair
values
may
differ
significantly
from
the
values
that
would
have
been
used
had
an
active
market
existed.
Trading
in
securities
on
foreign
securities
stock
exchanges
and
OTC
markets
may
be
completed
before
4
p.m.
Eastern
time.
In
addition,
trading
in
certain
foreign
markets
may
not
take
place
on
every
Fund's
business
day.
Events
can
occur
between
the
time
at
which
trading
in
a
foreign
security
is
completed
and
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
that
might
call
into
question
the
reliability
of
the
value
of
a
portfolio
security
held
by
the
Fund.
As
a
result,
differences
may
arise
between
the
value
of
the
Fund's
portfolio
securities
as
determined
at
the
foreign
market
close
and
the
latest
indications
of
value
at
4
p.m.
Eastern
time.
In
order
to
minimize
the
potential
for
these
differences,
an
independent
pricing
service
may
be
used
to
adjust
the
value
of
the
Fund's
portfolio
securities
to
the
latest
indications
of
fair
value
at
4
p.m.
Eastern
time.
When
the
last
day
of
the
reporting
period
is
a
non-business
day,
certain
foreign
markets
may
be
open
on
those
days
that
the
Fund's
NAV
is
not
calculated,
which
could
result
in
differences
between
the
value
of
the
Fund's
portfolio
securities
on
the
last
business
day
and
the
last
calendar
day
of
the
reporting
period.
Any
security
valuation
changes
due
to
an
open
foreign
market
are
adjusted
and
reflected
by
the Fund
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
b.
Foreign
Currency
Translation 
Portfolio
securities
and
other
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
based
on
the
exchange
rate
of
such
currencies
against
U.S.
dollars
on
the
date
of
valuation.
The
Fund
may
enter
into
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
to
facilitate
transactions
denominated
in
a
foreign
currency.
Purchases
and
sales
of
securities,
income
and
expense
items
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
at
the
exchange
rate
in
effect
on
the
transaction
date.
Portfolio
securities
and
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
contain
risks
that
those
currencies
will
decline
in
value
relative
to
the
U.S.
dollar.
Occasionally,
events
may
impact
the
availability
or
reliability
of
foreign
exchange
rates
used
to
convert
the
U.S.
dollar
equivalent
value.
If
such
an
event
occurs,
the
foreign
exchange
rate
will
be
valued
at
fair
value
using
procedures
established
and
approved
by
the
Board.
The
Fund
does
not
separately
report
the
effect
of
changes
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
changes
in
market
prices
on
securities
held.
Such
changes
are
included
in
net
realized
and
unrealized
gain
or
loss
from
investments
in
the
Statement of
Operations.
Realized
foreign
exchange
gains
or
losses
arise
from
sales
of
foreign
currencies,
currency
gains
or
losses
realized
between
the
trade
and
settlement
dates
on
securities
transactions
and
the
difference
between
the
recorded
amounts
of
dividends,
interest,
and
foreign
withholding
taxes
and
the
U.S.
dollar
equivalent
of
the
amounts
actually
received
or
paid.
Net
unrealized
foreign
exchange
gains
and
losses
arise
from
changes
in
foreign
exchange
rates
on
foreign
denominated
assets
and
liabilities
other
than
investments
in
securities
held
at
the
end
of
the
reporting
period.
c.
Securities
Purchased
on
a
Delayed
Delivery
Basis
The
Fund
purchases
securities
on
a
delayed
delivery
basis,
with
payment
and
delivery
scheduled
for
a
future
date.
These
transactions
are
subject
to
market
fluctuations
and
are
subject
to
the
risk
that
the
value
at
delivery
may
be
more
or
less
than
the
trade
date
purchase
price.
Although
the
Fund
will
generally
purchase
these
securities
with
the
intention
of
holding
the
securities,
it
may
sell
the
securities
before
the
settlement
date.
d.
Derivative
Financial
Instruments
The
Fund invested
in
derivative
financial
instruments
in
order
to
manage
risk
or
gain
exposure
to
various
other
investments
or
markets.
Derivatives
are
financial
contracts
based
on
an
underlying
or
notional
amount,
require
no
initial
investment
or
an
initial
net
investment
that
is
smaller
than
would
normally
be
required
to
have
a
similar
response
to
changes
in
market
factors,
and
require
or
permit
net
settlement.
Derivatives
contain
various
risks
including
the
potential
inability
of
the
counterparty
to
fulfill
their
obligations
under
the
terms
of
the
contract,
the
potential
for
an
illiquid
secondary
market,
and/or
the
potential
for
market
movements
which
expose
the
Fund
to
gains
or
losses
in
excess
of
the
amounts
shown
in
the
Statement
of
Assets

and
Liabilities.
Realized
gain
and
loss
and
unrealized
appreciation
and
depreciation
on
these
contracts
for
the
period
are
included
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Derivative
counterparty
credit
risk
is
managed
through
a
formal
evaluation
of
the
creditworthiness
of
all
potential
counterparties.
The
Fund
attempts
to
reduce its
exposure
to
counterparty
credit
risk
on
OTC
derivatives,
whenever
possible,
by
entering
into
International
Swaps
and
Derivatives
Association
(ISDA)
master
agreements
with
certain
counterparties.
These
agreements
contain
various
provisions,
including
but
not
limited
to
collateral
requirements,
events
of
default,
or
early
termination.
Termination
events
applicable
to
the
counterparty
include
certain
deteriorations
in
the
credit
quality
of
the
counterparty.
Termination
events
applicable
to
the Fund
include
failure
of
the
Fund
to
maintain
certain
net
asset
levels
and/or
limit
the
decline
in
net
assets
over
various
periods
of
time.
In
the
event
of
default
or
early
termination,
the
ISDA
master
agreement
gives
the
non-defaulting
party
the
right
to
net
and
close-out
all
transactions
traded,
whether
or
not
arising
under
the
ISDA
agreement,
to
one
net
amount
payable
by
one
counterparty
to
the
other.
However,
absent
an
event
of
default
or
early
termination,
OTC
derivative
assets
and
liabilities
are
presented
gross
and
not
offset
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Early
termination
by
the
counterparty
may
result
in
an
immediate
payment
by
the
Fund
of
any
net
liability
owed
to
that
counterparty
under
the
ISDA
agreement.
Collateral
requirements
differ
by
type
of
derivative.
Collateral
terms
are
contract
specific
for
OTC
derivatives.
For
OTC
derivatives
traded
under
an
ISDA
master
agreement,
posting
of
collateral
is
required
by
either
the
Fund
or
the
applicable
counterparty
if
the
total
net
exposure
of
all
OTC
derivatives
with
the
applicable
counterparty
exceeds
the
minimum
transfer
amount,
which
typically
ranges
from
$100,000
to
$250,000,
and
can
vary
depending
on
the
counterparty
and
the
type
of
agreement.
Generally,
collateral
is
determined
at
the
close
of
Fund
business
each
day
and
any
additional
collateral
required
due
to
changes
in
derivative
values
may
be
delivered
by
the
Fund
or
the
counterparty
the
next
business
day,
or
within
a
few
business
days.
Collateral
pledged
and/or
received
by
the
Fund,
if
any,
is
held
in
segregated
accounts
with
the
Fund’s
custodian/counterparty
broker
and
can
be
in
the
form
of
cash
and/or
securities.
Unrestricted
cash
may
be
invested
according
to
the
Fund's
investment
objectives.
To
the
extent
that
the
amounts
due
to
the
Fund
from
its
counterparties
are
not
subject
to
collateralization
or
are
not
fully
collateralized,
the
Fund
bears
the
risk
of
loss
from
counterparty
non-performance.
The
Fund entered
into
OTC
forward
exchange
contracts
primarily
to
manage
and/or
gain
exposure
to
certain
foreign
currencies.
A
forward
exchange
contract
is
an
agreement
between
the
Fund
and
a
counterparty
to
buy
or
sell
a
foreign
currency at
a
specific
exchange
rate
on
a
future
date.
The
Fund
purchased
or
wrote
OTC
option
contracts
primarily
to
manage
and/or
gain
exposure
to
foreign
exchange
rate
risk.
An
option
is
a
contract
entitling
the
holder
to
purchase
or
sell
a
specific
amount
of
shares
or
units
of
an
asset
or
notional
amount
of
a
swap
(swaption),
at
a
specified
price.
When
an
option
is
purchased
or
written,
an
amount
equal
to
the
premium
paid
or
received
is
recorded
as
an
asset
or
liability,
respectively.
Upon
exercise
of
an
option,
the
acquisition
cost
or
sales
proceeds
of
the
underlying
investment
is
adjusted
by
any
premium
received
or
paid.
Upon
expiration
of
an
option,
any
premium
received
or
paid
is
recorded
as
a
realized
gain
or
loss.
Upon
closing
an
option
other
than
through
expiration
or
exercise,
the
difference
between
the
premium
received
or
paid
and
the
cost
to
close
the
position
is
recorded
as
a
realized
gain
or
loss.
See
Note
11
regarding
other
derivative
information.
e.
Restricted
Cash
At
December
31,
2021, the
Fund
held
restricted
cash
in
connection
with
investments
in
certain
derivative
securities.
Restricted
cash
is
held
in
a
segregated
account
with
the
Fund’s
custodian
and
is
reflected
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
f.
Restricted
Currency
At
December
31,
2021,
the
Fund
held
currencies
in
certain
markets
in
which
the
ability
to
repatriate
such
currency
is
limited.
As
a
result
of
such
limitations
on
repatriation,
the
Fund
may
incur
substantial
delays
in
gaining
access
to
these
assets
and
may
be
exposed
to
potential
adverse
movements
in
currency
value.

Income
and
Deferred
Taxes
It
is the Fund's
policy
to
qualify
as
a
regulated
investment
company
under
the
Internal
Revenue
Code. The Fund
intends
to
distribute
to
shareholders
substantially
all
of
its
taxable
income
and
net
realized
gains
to
relieve
it
from
federal
income
and excise
taxes.
As
a
result,
no
provision
for
U.S.
federal
income
taxes
is
required.
The Fund
may
be
subject
to
foreign
taxation
related
to
income
received,
capital
gains
on
the
sale
of
securities
and
certain
foreign
currency
transactions
in
the
foreign
jurisdictions
in
which
it
invests.
Foreign
taxes,
if
any,
are
recorded
based
on
the
tax
regulations
and
rates
that
exist
in
the
foreign
markets
in
which
the
Fund
invests.
When
a
capital
gain
tax
is
determined
to
apply,
the
Fund
records
an
estimated
deferred
tax
liability
in
an
amount
that
would
be
payable
if
the
securities
were
disposed
of
on
the
valuation
date.
The
Fund
may
recognize
an
income
tax
liability
related
to
its
uncertain
tax
positions
under
U.S.
GAAP
when
the
uncertain
tax
position
has
a
less
than
50%
probability
that
it
will
be
sustained
upon
examination
by
the
tax
authorities
based
on
its
technical
merits.
As
of
December
31,
2021,
the
Fund
has
determined
that
no
tax
liability
is
required
in
its
financial
statements
related
to
uncertain
tax
positions
for
any
open
tax
years
(or
expected
to
be
taken
in
future
tax
years).
Open
tax
years
are
those
that
remain
subject
to
examination
and
are
based
on
the
statute
of
limitations
in
each
jurisdiction
in
which
the
Fund
invests. 
h.
Security
Transactions,
Investment
Income,
Expenses
and
Distributions
Security
transactions
are
accounted
for
on
trade
date.
Realized
gains
and
losses
on
security
transactions
are
determined
on
a
specific
identification
basis.
Interest
income
and
estimated
expenses
are
accrued
daily.
Amortization
of
premium
and
accretion
of
discount
on
debt
securities
are
included
in
interest
income.
Dividend
income
is
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date
except
for
certain
dividends
from
securities
where
the
dividend
rate
is
not
available.
In
such
cases,
the
dividend
is
recorded
as
soon
as
the
information
is
received
by
the
Fund.
Distributions
to shareholders
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Distributable
earnings
are
determined
according
to
income
tax
regulations
(tax
basis)
and
may
differ
from
earnings
recorded
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP.
These
differences
may
be
permanent
or
temporary.
Permanent
differences
are
reclassified
among
capital
accounts
to
reflect
their
tax
character.
These
reclassifications
have
no
impact
on
net
assets
or
the
results
of
operations.
Temporary
differences
are
not
reclassified,
as
they
may
reverse
in
subsequent
periods.
Common
expenses
incurred
by
the
Trust
are
allocated
among
the
Funds
based
on
the
ratio
of
net
assets
of
each
Fund
to
the
combined
net
assets
of
the
Trust
or
based
on
the
ratio
of
number
of
shareholders
of
each
Fund
to
the
combined
number
of
shareholders
of
the
Trust.
Fund
specific
expenses
are
charged
directly
to
the
Fund
that
incurred
the
expense.
Realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
and
net
investment
income,
excluding
class
specific
expenses,
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
of
shares
based
upon
the
relative
proportion
of
net
assets
of
each
class.
Differences
in
per
share
distributions
by
class
are
generally
due
to
differences
in
class
specific
expenses.
Inflation-indexed
bonds
are
adjusted
for
inflation
through
periodic
increases
or
decreases
in
the
security's
interest
accruals,
face
amount,
or
principal
redemption
value,
by
amounts
corresponding
to
the
rate
of
inflation
as
measured
by
an
index.
Any
increase
or
decrease
in
the
face
amount
or
principal
redemption
value
will
be
included
as
inflation
principal
adjustments
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
i.
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation
of
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP
requires
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements
and
the
amounts
of
income
and
expenses
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
j.
Guarantees
and
Indemnifications
Under
the
Trust's
organizational
documents,
its
officers
and
trustees
are
indemnified
by
the
Trust
against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to
the
Trust.
Additionally,
in
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
enters
into
contracts
with
service
providers
that
contain
general
indemnification
clauses.
The
Trust's
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
as
this
would
involve
future
claims
that
may
be
made
against
the
Trust
that
have
not
yet
occurred.
Currently,
the
Trust
expects
the
risk
of
loss
to
be
remote.

Management
Investment
Companies
The
Fund

in
one
or
more
affiliated

As
defined
in
the
1940
Act,
an
investment

deemed
to
be
a
“Controlled

of
a
fund
when
a
fund
owns,
either
directly
or
indirectly,
25%
or
more
of
the
affiliated
fund’s
outstanding
shares
or
has
the
power
to
exercise
control
over
management
or
policies
of
such
fund.
The
Fund
does
not
invest
for
purposes
of
exercising
a
controlling
influence
over
the

or
policies.
Management
fees
paid
by
the
Fund
are
waived
on
assets
invested
in
the
affiliated

of
Operations,
in
an
amount
not
to
exceed
the
management
and
administrative
fees
paid
directly
or
indirectly
by
each
affiliate.

the
year
ended
December

has
entered
into
an
arrangement
with
its

whereby
credits
realized
as
a
result
of

cash
balances
are
used
to
reduce
a
portion
of
the
Fund's
custodian
expenses.

Income
Taxes
For
tax
purposes,

over
to
offset
future
capital
gains.
At

At
December

as

Differences
between

Credit
Risk
At
December
31,
2021,
the
Fund
had
33.9%
of
its
portfolio
invested
in
high
yield
or
other
securities
rated
below
investment
grade
and
unrated
securities.
These
securities
may
be
more
sensitive
to
economic
conditions
causing
greater
price
volatility
and
are
potentially
subject
to
a
greater
risk
of
loss
due
to
default
than
higher
rated
securities.
8.
Concentration
of
Risk
Investments
in
issuers
domiciled
or
with
significant
operations
in
developing
or
emerging
market
countries
may
be
subject
to
higher
risks
than
investments
in
developed
countries.
These
risks
include
fluctuating
currency
values,
underdeveloped
legal
or
business
systems,
and
changing
local
and
regional
economic,
political
and
social
conditions,
which
may
result
in
greater
market
volatility.
In
addition,
certain
foreign
securities
may
not
be
as
liquid
as
U.S.
securities.
Currencies
of
developing
or
emerging
market
countries
may
be
subject
to
significantly
greater
risks
than
currencies
of
developed
countries,
including
the
potential
inability
to
repatriate
those
currencies
into
U.S.
dollars.
At
December
31,
2021,
the
Fund
had
4.4%
of
its
net
assets
denominated
in
Argentine
Pesos. Argentina
has
restricted
currency
repatriation
since
September
2019,
and
had
restructured
certain
issues
of
its
debt.
Political
and
economic
conditions
in
Argentina
could
continue
to
affect
the
value
of
the
Fund's
holdings.

novel
coronavirus
disease,
known
as
COVID-19, has
caused
adverse
effects
on
many
companies,
sectors,
nations,
regions
and
the
markets
in
general, and
may
continue for
an unpredictable duration.
The
effects
of
this
pandemic
may
materially
impact
the
value
and
performance
of
the Fund, its ability
to
buy
and
sell
fund
investments
at
appropriate
valuations
and its ability
to
achieve its investment
objectives.

Restricted
Securities
The
Fund
invests
in
securities
that
are
restricted
under
the
Securities
Act
of
1933
(1933
Act).
Restricted
securities
are
often
purchased
in
private
placement
transactions,
and
cannot
be
sold
without
prior
registration
unless
the
sale
is
pursuant
to
an
exemption
under
the
1933
Act.
Disposal
of
these
securities
may
require
greater
effort
and
expense,
and
prompt
sale
at
an
acceptable
price
may
be
difficult.
The Fund
may
have
registration
rights
for
restricted
securities.
The
issuer
generally
incurs
all
registration
costs.
At
December
31,
2021,

restricted
securities,

Credit
Facility
The
Fund,
together
with
other
U.S.
registered
and
foreign
investment
funds
(collectively,
Borrowers),
managed
by
Franklin
Templeton,
are
borrowers
in
a
joint
syndicated
senior
unsecured
credit
facility
totaling
$2.675
billion
(Global
Credit
Facility)
which
matured
on
February
4,
2022.
This
Global
Credit
Facility
provides
a
source
of
funds
to
the
Borrowers
for
temporary
and
emergency
purposes,
including
the
ability
to
meet
future
unanticipated
or
unusually
large
redemption
requests.
Effective
February
4,
2022,
the
Borrowers
renewed
the
Global
Credit
Facility
for
a
one-year
term,
maturing
February
3,
2023,
for
a
total
of
$2.675
billion.
Under
the
terms
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility,
the
Fund
shall,
in
addition
to
interest
charged
on
any
borrowings
made
by
the
Fund
and
other
costs
incurred
by
the
Fund,
pay
its
share
of
fees
and
expenses
incurred
in
connection
with
the
implementation
and
maintenance
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility,
based
upon
its
relative
share
of
the
aggregate
net
assets
of
all
of
the
Borrowers,
including
an
annual
commitment
fee
of
0.15%
based
upon
the
unused
portion
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility.
These
fees
are
reflected
in
other
expenses
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
During
the
year
ended
December
31,
2021,
the Fund
did
not
use
the
Global
Credit
Facility.

Fair
Value
Measurements
The
Fund
follows
a
fair
value
hierarchy
that
distinguishes
between
market
data
obtained
from
independent
sources
(observable
inputs)
and
the Fund's
own
market
assumptions
(unobservable
inputs).
These
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
value
of
the
Fund's financial
instruments
and
are
summarized
in
the
following
fair
value
hierarchy:
Level
1
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
financial
instruments
Level
2
other
significant
observable
inputs
(including
quoted
prices
for
similar
financial
instruments,
interest
rates,
prepayment
speed,
credit
risk,
etc.)
Level
3
significant
unobservable
inputs
(including
the
Fund's
own
assumptions
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments)
The
input
levels
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
or
liquidity
associated
with
financial
instruments
at
that
level.
A
summary
of
inputs
used
as
of
December
31,

In

the
FASB
issued
ASU
No.
2021-01,
with
further
amendments
to

The

provide

relief
from
the

of
certain
types
of

the

and
other
interbank-offered

reference
rates
as
of
the
end

Annual
Report
To
the
Board
of
Trustees
of
Templeton

and
Shareholders
of
Templeton
Global
Total
Return
Fund
Opinion
on
the
Financial
Statements
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statement
of
assets
and
liabilities,
including
the
statement
of
investments,
of
Templeton
Global
Total
Return
Fund
(one
of
the
funds
constituting
Templeton
Income
Trust,
referred
to
hereafter
as
the
"Fund")
as
of
December
31,
2021,
the
related
statement
of
operations
for
the
year
ended
December
31,
2021,
the
statement
of
changes
in
net
assets
for
each
of
the
two
years
in
the
period
ended
December
31,
2021,
including
the
related
notes,
and
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
periods
indicated
therein
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
“financial
statements”).
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Fund
as
of
December
31,
2021,
the
results
of
its
operations
for
the
year
then
ended,
the
changes
in
its
net
assets
for
each
of
the
two
years
in
the
period
ended
December
31,
2021
and
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
periods
indicated
therein
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America.
Basis
for
Opinion
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Fund’s
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Fund’s
financial
statements
based
on
our
audits.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(PCAOB)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Fund
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audits
of
these
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
audits
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
December
31,
2021
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian,
transfer
agent
and
brokers;
when
replies
were
not
received
from
brokers,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.

The
Sarbanes-Oxley
Act
of
2002
and
Rules
adopted
by
the
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
require
the
Fund
to
disclose
whether
the
Fund’s
Audit
Committee
includes
at
least
one
member
who
is
an
audit
committee
financial
expert
within
the
meaning
of
such
Act
and
Rules.
The
Fund’s
Board
has
determined
that
there
is
at
least
one
such
financial
expert
on
the
Audit
Committee
and
has
designated
each
of
Ann
Torre
Bates
and
David
W.
Niemiec
as
an
audit
committee
financial
expert.
The
Board
believes
that
Ms.
Bates
and
Mr.
Niemiec
qualify
as
such
an
expert
in
view
of
their
extensive
business
background
and
experience.
Ms.
Bates
has
served
as
a
member
of
the
Fund
Audit
Committee
since
2008.
She
currently
serves

As
a
result
of
such

the

believes
that
Ms.

Mr.

have
each
acquired
an
understanding

principles
and
financial
statements,
the
general
application
of
such
principles
in
connection
with
the
accounting
estimates,
accruals
and
reserves,
and
analyzing
and
evaluating
financial
statements
that
present
a
breadth
and
level
of
complexity
of
accounting
issues
generally
comparable
to
those
of
the
Fund,
as
well
as
an
understanding
of
internal
controls
and
procedures
for
financial
reporting
and
an
understanding
of
audit
committee
functions.
Ms.
Bates

Mr.

SHAREHOLDER
LETTER
Dear
Shareholder:
The
12
months
ended
December
31,
2021,
saw
extraordinary
conditions
across
global
financial
markets
as
the
world
attempted
to
emerge
from
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
During
2021,
global
fixed
income
markets
endured
multiple
cycles
of
sharply
rising
and
falling
yields,
broad
U.S.
dollar
strengthening
and
reversals,
idiosyncratic
drivers
in
individual
local-currency
markets,
massive
economic
recoveries
and
setbacks,
global
supply
chain
disruptions,
rising
inflationary
pressures
in
the
Americas
and
Europe,
and
a
major
pivot
toward
global
monetary
tightening
in
2021’s
second
half
after
extraordinary,
highly
correlated
global
easing
in
2020
and
early
2021.
Overall,
sovereign
bond
yields
rose
in
most
countries
while
the
U.S.
dollar
strengthened,
although
with
intermittently
declining
yields
in
various
countries
and
shifting
cycles
of
currency
appreciation/depreciation
in
individual
currency
pairings.
Through
these
varying
conditions,
we
remained
committed
to
pursuing
our
investment
objectives.
In
this
environment,
global
government
bonds,
as
measured
by
the
FTSE
World
Government
Bond
Index,
posted
total
returns
of
-6.97%
and
-2.57%
in
U.S.
dollar
and
local
currency
terms,
respectively.
1
Historically,
patient
investors
have
achieved
rewarding
results
by
evaluating
their
goals,
diversifying
their
assets
globally
and
maintaining
a
disciplined
investment
program,
all
hallmarks
of
the
Templeton
investment
philosophy.
We
continue
to
recommend
investors
consult
their
financial
professionals
and
review
their
portfolios
to
design
a
long-term
strategy
and
portfolio
allocation
that
meet
their
individual
needs,
goals
and
risk
tolerance.
Templeton
Sustainable
Emerging
Markets
Bond
Fund’s
annual
report
includes
more
detail
about
prevailing
conditions
and
a
discussion
about
investment
decisions
during
the
period.

remember
all
securities
markets
fluctuate,
as
do
mutual

prices.
We
thank
you
for

Economic
and
Market
Overview
The
12-month
period
ended
December
31,
2021,
was
a
tale
of
two
halves.
The
first
half
was
characterized
by
exuberant
optimism
for
an
end
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic,
punctuated
by
a
surge
in
economic
activity
in
the
spring
as
lockdowns
were
eased
and
economies
reopened.
The
second
half
was
characterized
by
rising
inflation
and
incremental
shifts
towards
monetary
tightening,
with
several
emerging
markets
entering
rate
hiking
cycles
ahead
of
the
major
developed
markets.
On
the
whole,
sovereign
bond
yields
rose
in
most
countries
during
the
period
while
the
U.S.
dollar
(USD)
broadly
strengthened,
albeit
with
intermittent
episodes
of
declining
yields
in
various
countries
and
shifting
cycles
of
currency
appreciation/depreciation
in
individual
currency
pairings.
The
period
began
with
sovereign
bond
yields
rising
sharply
across
much
of
the
world
over
the
first
three
months.
The
yield
on
the
10-year
U.S.
Treasury
(UST)
note
would
reach
its
high
mark
for
the
entire
period
on
March
31
at
1.74%,
82
basis
points
(bps)
higher
than
where
it
finished
2020.
Vaccine
distributions,
ongoing
stimulus
measures
and
optimism
for
improving
economic
conditions
appeared
to
fuel
reflation
expectations
across
global
financial
markets.
However,
the
harsh
realities
of
the
worldwide
health
crisis
and
economic
hardship
continued
to
have
profound
consequences
for
lives
and
livelihoods
around
the
world
in
the
winter
and
early
spring
months
of
2021.
Vaccine
distributions
progressively
accelerated
in
many
countries
during
the
first
half
of
2021,
though
supply
setbacks
notably
affected
areas
of
Europe
in
March
and
April.
Governments
continued

Annual
Report
the
first
quarter
of
2021
before
higher
vaccination
rates
and
lower
case
levels
enabled
many
regions
to
progressively
reopen
their
economies
in
the
spring.
Rising
yields
strained
valuations
across
many
areas
of
the
global
fixed
income
markets
during
2021’s
first
three
months.
USD-denominated
sovereign
credit
sectors
broadly
saw
negative
returns
in
January,
February
and
March
before
sharply
reversing
to
generate
offsetting
positive
returns
in
April,
May
and
June
as
UST
yields
pulled
back
from
their
late-March
peaks.
Sovereign
bond
yields
generally
resumed
their
rising
trends
in
May
and
June
amid
rising
inflation
in
many
areas
of
Europe
and
the
Americas.
In
currency
markets,
the
USD
broadly
strengthened
against
a
number
of
developed
market
and
emerging
market
currencies
in
the
first
quarter
of
2021,
reversing
the
broad-based
weakening
trend
from
the
second
half
of
2020.
Broad
USD
weakness
returned
in
April
and
May
before
the
strengthening
pattern
returned
in
June.
Business
and
consumer
confidence
surveys
notably
strengthened
in
multiple
regions
during
the
second
quarter
of
2021,
despite
some
growing
concerns
over
the
proliferation
of
the
Delta
variant
of
COVID-19
in
several
parts
of
the
world
in
June.
Economic
activity
continued
to
broadly
expand
in
many
countries
in
the
second
quarter,
largely
driven
by
strength
in
goods
sectors
and
manufacturing,
as
well
as
historically
high
savings
rates
in
many
countries
that
helped
fuel
demand.
On
the
whole,
the
second
quarter
would
represent
the
largest
quarterly
surge
in
GDP
for
most
countries
in
2021.
In
the
second
half
of
2021,
sovereign
bond
yields
would
largely
continue
to
rise
across
much
of
the
world
as
central
banks
continued
to
wade
deeper
into
monetary
tightening
cycles.
Developed
market
sovereign
bond
yields
initially
declined
in
July
and
early
August
as
the
Delta
variant
proliferated
across
multiple
regions.
The
10-year
UST
note’s
yield
dropped
to
1.17%
on
August
3
as
risk
aversion
resurfaced,
its
lowest
level
since
mid-February.
However,
sovereign
bond
yields
largely
trended
higher
from
that
point
through
the
end
of
the
year
as
investor
sentiments
appeared
to
refortify.
In
September,
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(Fed)
announced
it
would
begin
tapering
its
asset
purchases
in
the
fourth
quarter
of
2021.
The
hawkish
shift
added
further
upward
pressure
on
UST
yields
and
drove
broad
strengthening
of
the
USD.
Sovereign
bond
yields
continued
to
trend
higher
in
many
regions
over
the
following
month,
with
the
10-
year
UST
note
reaching
1.70%
on
October
21,
its
highest
yield
since
early
April.
Sovereign
bond
yields
largely
maintained
their
levels
over
subsequent
weeks
until
the
Omicron
variant
of
COVID-19
emerged
in
the
final
days
of
November,
triggering
broad-based
risk
aversion
across
global
financial
markets
and
perceived
safe-haven
rallies
in
several
developed
market
assets.
Crude
oil
prices
dropped
around
20%
in
November
on
global
growth
concerns,
with
the
bulk
of
the
price
adjustments
occurring
in
the
wake
of
the
Omicron
news.
Sovereign
bond
yields
declined
in
several
perceived
safe-
haven
markets
in
late
November
and
early
December
on
the
heightened
risk
aversion
before
global
growth
concerns
eventually
dissipated
in
the
second
half
of
the
month,
even
as
COVID-19
cases
surged
to
record
levels.
Disease
severity
from
Omicron
appeared
milder
than
previous
variants,
leading
to
a
significant
decoupling
of
the
trend
lines
for
case
numbers
(rising
sharply)
and
mortality
rates
(moderating).
We
expected
COVID-19
variants
to
not
derail
global
growth
momentum,
though
the
risks
continued
to
bear
monitoring.
Commodity
and
energy
prices
ultimately
rebounded
in
December,
recovering
much
of
the
price
corrections
from
the
prior
month
as
reflation
sentiments
returned
to
global
financial
markets.
Manufacturing
and
business
surveys
largely
continued
to
remain
at
expansionary
levels
across
much
of
the
world
during
the
second
half
of
2021
but
moderated
from
their
mid-year
peaks.
Consumer
confidence
surveys
showed
similar
trends.
Labor
market
conditions
generally
continued
to
improve
in
many
countries,
though
labor
shortages
and
unemployment
remained
above
prepandemic
levels
in
several
regions.
Overall,
global
growth
showed
signs
of
moderating
from
the
historically
strong
rebound
in
the
first
half
of
2021
but
remained
largely
resilient,
in
our
view.
Inflation
figures
remained
historically
high
across
many
parts
of
the
world
during
the
second
half
of
the
period,
driven
by
a
combination
of
factors
that
included
resurgent
economic
activity,
supply
disruptions
in
certain
sectors,
and
the
effects
of
massive
fiscal
and
monetary
stimulus
measures.
Headline
inflation
(Consumer
Price
Index)
in
the
U.S.
remained
at
or
above
5.0%
year-over-year
from
May
through
the
end
of
2021,
coming
in
at
6.8%
in
November,
its
highest
level
since
1982.
A
growing
number
of
central
banks
pursued
monetary
tightening
measures
in
the
second
half
of
the
year,
with
persistent
inflationary
pressures
in
several
emerging
markets
motivating
aggressive
tightening
responses.
In
Latin
America,
Brazil’s
central
bank
hiked
its
policy
rate
by
725
bps
in
2021,
Chile
by
350
bps,
Peru
by
225
bps,
Mexico
by
150
bps
and
Colombia
by
125
bps.
In
eastern
Europe,
Russia
hiked
its
policy
rate
by
425
bps,
the
Czech
Republic
by
300
bps,
Hungary
by
180
bps
and
Poland

165
bps.
Most
countries
in
Asia
kept
policy
rates
unchanged
as
inflation
generally
remained
more
contained
and
within
central
bank
targets.
The
Fed
kept
the
federal
funds
target
rate
unchanged
(0.00%
to
0.25%)
at
each
of
its
policy
meetings
during
the
period
but
it
began
tapering
its
asset
purchases
in
November.
However,
the
Fed
quickly
shifted
in
a
hawkish
direction
at
its
December
meeting,
doubling
the
pace
of
its
asset
purchase
tapering
for
January.
The
accelerated
pace
put
the
asset
purchase
program
on
schedule
to
conclude
by
March
2022,
enabling
a
rate
hiking
cycle
to
start
in
March
or
May,
earlier
than
previously
indicated
at
the
November
meeting.
Additionally,
the
Fed’s
dot
plot
survey
in
December
showed
that
12
of
18
officials
expect
at
least
three
rate
hikes
in
2022,
a
substantial
change
from
the
September
survey
that
saw
nine
of
18
officials
project
no
hikes
until
2023.
We
expected
UST
term
premiums
to
ratchet
higher
in
upcoming
quarters,
with
a
bear-flattening
effect
driven
by
rising
yields
in
the
short-
to
intermediate-term
range
of
the
yield
curve.
The
yield
on
the
10-year
UST
note
finished
the
year
at
1.51%,
59
bps
higher
than
where
it
ended
2020.
In
emerging
markets,
10-year
sovereign
bond
yields
rose
sharply
across
much
of
Latin
America,
including
Brazil,
Mexico,
Colombia,
Chile
and
Peru.
In
eastern
Europe,
10-year
yields
trended
higher
in
Poland,
Hungary,
Russia
and
the
Czech
Republic
on
elevated
inflation
and
ongoing
monetary
tightening.
Yields
also
rose
in
much
of
Asia,
including
India,
Indonesia
and
Thailand,
but
declined
in
China.
USD-denominated
sovereign
credit
sectors
broadly
saw
moderately
negative
returns
for
the
period
(with
some
exceptions
in
individual
countries),
as
the
investment-grade
credit
tiers
came
under
pressure
from
the
rising
yield
environment
while
high-yield
credit
tiers
largely
endured
additional
spread
widening.
In
currency
markets,
the
USD
broadly
strengthened
against
most
developed
market
and
emerging
market
currencies
in
2021.
In
emerging
markets,
the
USD
depreciated
against
the
Chinese
yuan,
but
appreciated
against
most
currencies
in
Latin
America
and
Asia,
including
the
Brazilian
real,
Mexican
peso,
Colombian
peso,
Chilean
peso,
Peruvian
sol,
Indian
rupee,
Indonesian
rupiah
and
Thai
baht.
Investment
Strategy
We
invest
selectively
in
bonds
from
emerging
markets
around
the
world
to
seek
to
generate
income
for
the
Fund,
pursuing
opportunities
while
monitoring
changes
in
interest
rates,
currency
exchange
rates
and
credit
risks.
We
manage
the
Fund’s
exposure
to
derivative
instruments
and
regularly
use
currency
and
contracts
and
may
also
use
currency
and
currency
index
futures
contracts
and
currency
options.
We
may
also
use
other
derivative
instruments,
such
as
interest
rate/bond
futures
contracts
and
swap
agreements.
We
use
a
proprietary
rating
methodology
to
assess
each
country
that
issues
sovereign
bonds
that
are
existing
or
potential
investments
for
the
Fund.
Each
country
in
which
the
Fund
can
invest
will
be
scored
across
various
environmental,
social,
and
governance
subcategories
that
we
have
determined
to
have
a
significant
impact
on
macroeconomic
conditions.
We
then
use
internal
proprietary
research
as
a
forward-looking
overlay
on
those
baseline
current
scores,
to
assess
whether
we
expect
countries
to
improve
or
deteriorate
in
each
of
the
subcategories.
Manager’s
Discussion
The
successful
development
of
vaccines
against
COVID-19
in
the
final
months
of
2020
substantially
changed
our
outlook
and
positioning
for
2021.
In
the
weeks
before
the
12-month
reporting
period
began,
we
significantly
shifted
the
emphasis
of
the
Fund’s
strategic
positioning
from
a
safe-haven
stance
toward
an
increasing
allocation
to
risk
assets.
We
expected
a
rebound
in
global
economic
activity
and
improving
economic
conditions
in
the
spring
and
summer
months
of
2021
as
vaccines
were
progressively
distributed
and
people
increasingly
reengaged
with
the
world.
We
were
actively
constructive
in
a
number
of
regions
throughout
the
12-month
period,
particularly
in
areas
of
Asia
that
appeared
to
be
at
the
forefront
of
the
global
economic
recovery.
Overall,
the
Fund
was
focused
on
two
core
investment
themes
during
the
period:
(1)
value
in
select
currencies
against
the
USD,
specifically
in
countries
with
strong
trade
dynamics,
current
account
surpluses,
better
fiscal
management
and
stronger
growth
potential,
notably
in
Asia;
and
(2)
attractive
risk-adjusted
yields
in
a
select
set
of
resilient
emerging
markets.
At
the
beginning
of
the
period,
the
Fund
held
overweighted
positions
in
specific
currencies
against
the
USD.
We
held
notable
exposures
to
the
Chinese
yuan,
the
South
Korean
won,
the
Indian
rupee,
the
Indonesian
rupiah
and
the
Japanese
yen
against
the
USD.
In
March,
we
closed
our
exposure
to
the
Japanese
yen.

exposure
to

in
April.
In
the
Europe,
Middle
East
and
Africa
region,
we
held
exposures
to
the
Russian
ruble
and
the
Egyptian
pound.
We
added
a
new
position
in
the
Turkish
lira
through
local-currency
bonds
in
March,
and
a
new
position
in
the
Uzbek
som
in
July.
In
the
Americas,
we
held
exposures
to
the
Colombian
peso,
Chilean
peso
and
Brazilian
real.
In
February,
we
added
a
new
exposure
to
the
Peruvian
sol
through
local-currency
bonds.
In
May,
we
added
to
our
existing
exposure
in
the
Chilean
peso.
During
the
period,
we
used
currency
forwards
and
currency
options
to
actively
manage
currency
exposures.
We
also
continued
to
focus
on
compelling
risk-adjusted
yields
in
various
local-currency
bond
markets,
specifically
in
countries
with
resilient
economies
and
strong
trade
dynamics.
We
continued
to
largely
avoid
developed
market
duration
exposures
in
preference
for
higher
yields
available
in
select
emerging
markets,
notably
including
Indonesia,
India,
Mexico,
Colombia,
Brazil
and
Ghana,
among
others.
After
exiting
our
local-currency
position
in
Brazil
in
the
first
quarter
of
2021
due
to
acute
political
and
economic
risks,
we
reestablished
the
position
in
the
second
quarter
as
political
compromises
in
the
spring
and
better-than
expected
economic
figures
supported
an
improved
outlook.
We
also
held
various
USD-denominated
sovereign
credit
exposures
in
Asia,
Africa
and
Latin
America
during
the
period.
In
April,
we
added
to
our
existing
USD-denominated
position
in
Ecuador.
During
the
period,
the
Fund’s
negative
absolute
performance
was
primarily
due
to
currency
positions.
Interest-rate
strategies
and
overall
credit
exposures
contributed
to
absolute
results.
Among
currencies,
positions
in
the
Chilean
peso,
Argentine
peso,
Colombian
peso
and
Turkish
lira
detracted
from
absolute
performance,
as
did
the
Fund’s
position
in
the
Japanese
yen
during
the
beginning
of
the
period.
However,
its
position
in
the
Chinese
yuan
contributed
to
absolute
performance.
The
Fund
maintained
low
overall
portfolio
duration
while
holding
duration
exposures
in
select
emerging
markets.
Duration
exposures
in
Argentina,
Indonesia
and
Ghana
contributed
to
absolute
results,
while
duration
exposures
in
Chile
and
Colombia
detracted.
Among
credit
exposures,
positions
in
Latin
America
contributed
to
absolute
return.

franklintempleton.com
Annual
Report
Each
class
of
shares
is
available
to
certain
eligible
investors
and
has
different
annual
fees
and
expenses,
as
described
in
the
prospectus.
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
possible
loss
of
principal.
Foreign
securities
involve
special
risks,
including
currency
rate
fluctuations
(which
may
be
significant
over
the
short
term)
and
economic
and
political
uncertainties;
investments
in
emerging
markets
involve
heightened
risks
related
to
the
same
factors,
in
addition
to
those
associated
with
their
relatively
small
size
and
lesser
liquidity.
Sovereign
debt
securities
are
subject
to
various
risks
in
addition
to
those
re-
lating
to
debt
securities
and
foreign
securities
generally,
including,
but
not
limited
to,
the
risk
that
a
government
entity
may
be
unwilling
or
unable
to
pay
interest
and
repay
principal
on
its
sovereign
debt,
or
otherwise
meet
its
obligations
when
due.
Derivatives,
including
currency
management
strategies,
involve
costs
and
can
create
economic
leverage
in
the
portfolio
that
may
result
in
significant
volatility
and
cause
the
Fund
to
participate
in
losses
on
an
amount
that
exceeds
the
Fund’s
initial
investment.
The
Fund
may
not
achieve
the
anticipated
benefits
and
may
realize
losses
when
a
counterparty
fails
to
perform
as
promised.
Bonds
are
subject
to
liquidity
risk,
which
may
have
an
adverse
impact
on
the
security’s
value
or
a
fund’s
ability
to
sell
such
securities.
Changes
in
interest
rates
will
affect
the
value
of
the
Fund’s
portfolio,
share
price
and
yield.
Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
As
prices
of
bonds
in
the
Fund
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
the
Fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Changes
in
the
financial
strength
of
a
bond
issuer
or
in
a
bond’s
credit
rating
may
affect
its
value.
Investments
in
lower
rated
securities
include
higher
risks
of
default
and
loss
of
principal.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
diseases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
The
Fund’s
prospectus
also
includes
a
description
of
the
main
investment
risks.
1.
The
Fund
has
an
expense
reduction
and
a
fee
waiver
associated
with
any
investments
it
makes
in
a
Franklin
Templeton
money
fund
and/or
other
Franklin
Templeton
fund,
contractually
guaranteed
through
4/30/22.
Fund
investment
results
reflect
the
expense
reduction
and
fee
waiver;
without
these
reductions,
the
results
would
have
been
lower.
2.
Cumulative
total
return
represents
the
change
in
value
of
an
investment
over
the
periods
indicated.
3.
Average
annual
total
return
represents
the
average
annual
change
in
value
of
an
investment
over
the
periods
indicated.
Return
for
less
than
one
year,
if
any,
has
not

4.
Prior
to
3/1/19,
these
shares
were
offered
at
a
higher
initial
sales
charge
of
4.25%,
thus
actual
returns
(with
sales
charges)
would
have
differed.
Average
annual
total
returns
(with
sales
charges)
have
been
restated
to
reflect
the
current
maximum
initial
sales
charge
of
3.75%.

Annual
Report
As
a
Fund
shareholder,
you
can
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
sales
charges
(loads)
on
Fund
purchases
and
redemptions;
and
(2)
ongoing
Fund
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
Fund
expenses.
All
mutual
funds
have
ongoing
costs,
sometimes
referred
to
as
operating
expenses.
The
table
below
shows
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
can
help
you
understand
these
costs
and
compare
them
with
those
of
other
mutual
funds.
The
table
assumes
a
$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6
).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
(
if
Actual
Expenses
Paid
During
Period
were
$7.50,
then
8.6
x
$7.50
=
$64.50
).
In
this
illustration,
the
actual
expenses
paid
this
period
are
$64.50.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
with
Other
Funds
Under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
in
the
table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.
1.
Expenses
are
equal
to
the
annualized
expense
ratio
for
the
six-month
period
as
indicated
above—in
the
far
right
column—multiplied
by
the
simple
average
account
value
over
the
period
indicated,
and
then
multiplied
by
184/365
to
reflect
the
one-half
year
period.
2.

Organization
and
Significant
Accounting
Policies
Templeton
Income
Trust (Trust)
is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(1940
Act)
as
an
open-end
management
investment
company,
consisting
of four separate
funds
and
applies
the
specialized
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
in
U.S.
Generally
Accepted
Accounting
Principles
(U.S.
GAAP).
Templeton
Sustainable
Emerging

Bond
Fund
(Fund)
is
included
in
this
report.
The
Fund
offers five
classes
of
shares:
Class
A,
Class
C,
Class
R,
Class
R6
and
Advisor
Class. Effective
August
2,
2021,
Class
C
shares
automatically
convert
to
Class
A
shares
on
a
monthly
basis,
after
they
have
been
held
for
8
years.
Prior
to
August
2,
2021,
Class
C
shares
converted
to
Class
A
shares
after
a
10-year

period.
Each
class
of
shares
may
differ
by
its
initial
sales

contingent
deferred
sales
charges,
voting
rights
on
matters
affecting
a
single
class,
its
exchange
privilege
and
fees
due
to
differing
arrangements
for
distribution
and
transfer
agent
fees.
Effective
December
15,
2021,
Templeton
Emerging
Markets
Bond
Fund
was
renamed
Templeton
Sustainable
Emerging
Markets
Bond
Fund.
The
following
summarizes
the Fund's
significant
accounting
policies.
a.
Financial
Instrument
Valuation 
The
Fund's
investments
in
financial
instruments
are
carried
at
fair
value
daily.
Fair
value
is
the
price
that
would
be
received
to
sell
an
asset
or
paid
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
on
the
measurement
date.
The
Fund
calculates
the
net
asset
value
(NAV)
per
share
each business
day as
of
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
or
the
regularly
scheduled
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(NYSE),
whichever
is
earlier.
Under
compliance
policies
and
procedures
approved
by
the
Board,
the Fund's
administrator
has
responsibility
for
oversight
of
valuation,
including
leading
the
cross-functional
Valuation
Committee
(VC).
The
Fund
may
utilize
independent
pricing
services,
quotations
from
securities
and
financial
instrument
dealers,
and
other
market
sources
to
determine
fair
value. 
Equity
securities
listed
on
an
exchange
or
on
the
NASDAQ
National
Market
System
are
valued
at
the
last
quoted
sale
price
or
the
official
closing
price of
the
day,
respectively.
Foreign
equity
securities
are
valued
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
foreign
stock
exchange
on
which
the
security
is
primarily
traded,
or
as
of
4
p.m.
Eastern
time.
The
value
is
then
converted
into
its
U.S.
dollar
equivalent
at
the
foreign
exchange
rate
in
effect
at
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
on
the
day
that
the
value
of
the
security
is
determined.
Over-the-counter
(OTC)
securities
are
valued
within
the
range
of
the
most
recent
quoted
bid
and
ask
prices.
Securities
that
trade
in
multiple
markets
or
on
multiple
exchanges
are
valued
according
to
the
broadest
and
most
representative
market.
Certain
equity
securities
are
valued
based
upon
fundamental
characteristics
or
relationships
to
similar
securities. 
Debt
securities
generally
trade
in
the OTC
market
rather
than
on
a
securities
exchange.
The
Fund's
pricing
services
use
multiple
valuation
techniques
to
determine
fair
value.
In
instances
where
sufficient
market
activity
exists,
the
pricing
services
may
utilize
a
market-based
approach
through
which
quotes
from
market
makers
are
used
to
determine
fair
value.
In
instances
where
sufficient
market
activity
may
not
exist
or
is
limited,
the
pricing
services
also
utilize
proprietary
valuation
models
which
may
consider
market
characteristics
such
as
benchmark
yield
curves,
credit
spreads,
estimated
default
rates,
anticipated
market
interest
rate
volatility,
coupon
rates,
anticipated
timing
of
principal
repayments,
underlying
collateral,
and
other
unique
security
features
in
order
to
estimate
the
relevant
cash
flows,
which
are
then
discounted
to
calculate
the
fair
value.
Securities
denominated
in
a
foreign
currency
are
converted
into
their
U.S.
dollar
equivalent
at
the
foreign
exchange
rate
in
effect
at
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
on
the
date
that
the
values
of
the
foreign
debt
securities
are
determined.
Investments
in open-end mutual
funds
are
valued
at
the
closing
NAV.
Certain
derivative
financial
instruments
are
centrally
cleared
or
trade
in
the
OTC
market.
The
Fund's
pricing
services
use
various
techniques
including
industry
standard
option
pricing
models
and
proprietary
discounted
cash
flow
models
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
those
instruments.
The
Fund's
net
benefit
or
obligation
under
the
derivative
contract,
as
measured
by
the
fair
value
of
the
contract,
is
included
in
net
assets.
The
Fund
has
procedures
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments
for
which
market
prices
are
not
reliable
or
readily
available.
Under
these
procedures,
the Fund
primarily
employs
a
market-based
approach
which
may
use
related
or
comparable
assets
or
liabilities,
recent
transactions,
market
multiples,
book
values,
and
other
relevant
information
for
the
investment
to
determine

Bond
Fund
(continued)
fair
value
of
the
investment.
An
income-based
valuation
approach
may
also
be
used
in
which
the
anticipated
future
cash
flows
of
the
investment
are
discounted
to
calculate
fair
value.
Discounts
may
also
be
applied
due
to
the
nature
or
duration
of
any
restrictions
on
the
disposition
of
the
investments.
Due
to
the
inherent
uncertainty
of
valuations
of
such
investments,
the
fair
values
may
differ
significantly
from
the
values
that
would
have
been
used
had
an
active
market
existed.
Trading
in
securities
on
foreign
securities
stock
exchanges
and
OTC
markets
may
be
completed
before
4
p.m.
Eastern
time.
In
addition,
trading
in
certain
foreign
markets
may
not
take
place
on
every
Fund's
business
day.
Events
can
occur
between
the
time
at
which
trading
in
a
foreign
security
is
completed
and
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
that
might
call
into
question
the
reliability
of
the
value
of
a
portfolio
security
held
by
the
Fund.
As
a
result,
differences
may
arise
between
the
value
of
the
Fund's
portfolio
securities
as
determined
at
the
foreign
market
close
and
the
latest
indications
of
value
at
4
p.m.
Eastern
time.
In
order
to
minimize
the
potential
for
these
differences,
an
independent
pricing
service
may
be
used
to
adjust
the
value
of
the
Fund's
portfolio
securities
to
the
latest
indications
of
fair
value
at
4
p.m.
Eastern
time.
When
the
last
day
of
the
reporting
period
is
a
non-business
day,
certain
foreign
markets
may
be
open
on
those
days
that
the
Fund's
NAV
is
not
calculated,
which
could
result
in
differences
between
the
value
of
the
Fund's
portfolio
securities
on
the
last
business
day
and
the
last
calendar
day
of
the
reporting
period.
Any
security
valuation
changes
due
to
an
open
foreign
market
are
adjusted
and
reflected
by
the Fund
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
b.
Foreign
Currency
Translation 
Portfolio
securities
and
other
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
based
on
the
exchange
rate
of
such
currencies
against
U.S.
dollars
on
the
date
of
valuation.
The
Fund
may
enter
into
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
to
facilitate
transactions
denominated
in
a
foreign
currency.
Purchases
and
sales
of
securities,
income
and
expense
items
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
at
the
exchange
rate
in
effect
on
the
transaction
date.
Portfolio
securities
and
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
contain
risks
that
those
currencies
will
decline
in
value
relative
to
the
U.S.
dollar.
Occasionally,
events
may
impact
the
availability
or
reliability
of
foreign
exchange
rates
used
to
convert
the
U.S.
dollar
equivalent
value.
If
such
an
event
occurs,
the
foreign
exchange
rate
will
be
valued
at
fair
value
using
procedures
established
and
approved
by
the
Board.
The
Fund
does
not
separately
report
the
effect
of
changes
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
changes
in
market
prices
on
securities
held.
Such
changes
are
included
in
net
realized
and
unrealized
gain
or
loss
from
investments
in
the
Statement of
Operations.
Realized
foreign
exchange
gains
or
losses
arise
from
sales
of
foreign
currencies,
currency
gains
or
losses
realized
between
the
trade
and
settlement
dates
on
securities
transactions
and
the
difference
between
the
recorded
amounts
of
dividends,
interest,
and
foreign
withholding
taxes
and
the
U.S.
dollar
equivalent
of
the
amounts
actually
received
or
paid.
Net
unrealized
foreign
exchange
gains
and
losses
arise
from
changes
in
foreign
exchange
rates
on
foreign
denominated
assets
and
liabilities
other
than
investments
in
securities
held
at
the
end
of
the
reporting
period.
c.
Securities
Purchased
on
a
Delayed
Delivery
Basis
The
Fund
purchases
securiti
es
on
a
delayed
delivery
basis,
with
payment
and
delive
ry
scheduled
for
a
future
date.
These
transactions
are
sub
ject
to
market
fluctuations
and
are
subject
to
the
risk
th
at
the
value
at
delivery
may
be
more
or
less
than
the
trad
e
date
purchase
price.
Although
the
Fund
will
generally
purchase
these
securities
with
the
intention
of
holding
th
e
securities,
they
may
sell
the
securities
before
the
settlement
date.
d.
Derivative
Financial
Instruments
The
Fund invested
in
derivative
financial
instruments
in
order
to
manage
risk
or
gain
exposure
to
various
other
investments
or
markets.
Derivatives
are
financial
contracts
based
on
an
underlying
or
notional
amount,
require
no
initial
investment
or
an
initial
net
investment
that
is
smaller
than
would
normally
be
required
to
have
a
similar
response
to
changes
in
market
factors,
and
require
or
permit
net
settlement.
Derivatives
contain
various
risks
including
the
potential
inability
of
the
counterparty
to
fulfill
their
obligations
under
the
terms
of
the
contract,
the
potential

and/or
the
potential
for
market
movements
which
expose
the
Fund
to
gains
or
losses
in
excess
of
the
amounts
shown
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Realized
gain
and
loss
and
unrealized
appreciation
and
depreciation
on
these
contracts
for
the
period
are
included
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Derivative
counterparty
credit
risk
is
managed
through
a
formal
evaluation
of
the
creditworthiness
of
all
potential
counterparties.
The
Fund
attempts
to
reduce its
exposure
to
counterparty
credit
risk
on
OTC
derivatives,
whenever
possible,
by
entering
into
International
Swaps
and
Derivatives
Association
(ISDA)
master
agreements
with
certain
counterparties.
These
agreements
contain
various
provisions,
including
but
not
limited
to
collateral
requirements,
events
of
default,
or
early
termination.
Termination
events
applicable
to
the
counterparty
include
certain
deteriorations
in
the
credit
quality
of
the
counterparty.
Termination
events
applicable
to
the Fund
include
failure
of
the
Fund
to
maintain
certain
net
asset
levels
and/or
limit
the
decline
in
net
assets
over
various
periods
of
time.
In
the
event
of
default
or
early
termination,
the
ISDA
master
agreement
gives
the
non-defaulting
party
the
right
to
net
and
close-out
all
transactions
traded,
whether
or
not
arising
under
the
ISDA
agreement,
to
one
net
amount
payable
by
one
counterparty
to
the
other.
However,
absent
an
event
of
default
or
early
termination,
OTC
derivative
assets
and
liabilities
are
presented
gross
and
not
offset
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Early
termination
by
the
counterparty
may
result
in
an
immediate
payment
by
the
Fund
of
any
net
liability
owed
to
that
counterparty
under
the
ISDA
agreement.
Collateral
requirements
differ
by
type
of
derivative.
Collateral
terms
are
contract
specific
for
OTC
derivatives.
For
OTC
derivatives
traded
under
an
ISDA
master
agreement,
posting
of
collateral
is
required
by
either
the
Fund
or
the
applicable
counterparty
if
the
total
net
exposure
of
all
OTC
derivatives
with
the
applicable
counterparty
exceeds
the
minimum
transfer
amount,
which
typically
ranges
from
$100,000
to
$250,000,
and
can
vary
depending
on
the
counterparty
and
the
type
of
agreement.
Generally,
collateral
is
determined
at
the
close
of
Fund
business
each
day
and
any
additional
collateral
required
due
to
changes
in
derivative
values
may
be
delivered
by
the
Fund
or
the
counterparty
the
next
business
day,
or
within
a
few
business
days.
Collateral
pledged
and/or
received
by
the
Fund,
if
any,
is
held
in
segregated
accounts
with
the
Fund’s
custodian/counterparty
broker
and
can
be
in
the
form
of
cash
and/or
securities.
Unrestricted
cash
may
be
invested
according
to
the
Fund's
investment
objectives.
To
the
extent
that
the
amounts
due
to
the
Fund
from
its
counterparties
are
not
subject
to
collateralization
or
are
not
fully
collateralized,
the
Fund
bears
the
risk
of
loss
from
counterparty
non-performance.
The
Fund entered
into
OTC
forward
exchange
contracts
primarily
to
manage
and/or
gain
exposure
to
certain
foreign
currencies.
A
forward
exchange
contract
is
an
agreement
between
the
Fund
and
a
counterparty
to
buy
or
sell
a
foreign
currency at
a
specific
exchange
rate
on
a
future
date.
The
Fund
entered
into
interest
rate
swap
contracts
primarily
to
manage
interest
rate
risk.
An
interest
rate
swap
is
an
agreement
between
the
Fund
and
a
counterparty
to
exchange
cash
flows
based
on
the
difference
between
two
interest
rates,
applied
to
a
notional
amount.
These
agreements
may
be
privately
negotiated
in
the
over-the-
counter
market
(OTC
interest
rate
swaps)
or
may
be
executed
on
a
registered
exchange
(centrally
cleared
interest
rate
swaps).
For
centrally
cleared
interest
rate
swaps,
required
initial
margins
are
pledged
by
the
Fund,
and
the
daily
change
in
fair
value
is
accounted
for
as
a
variation
margin
payable
or
receivable
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Over
the
term
of
the
contract,
contractually
required
payments
to
be
paid
and
to
be
received
are
accrued
daily
and
recorded
as
unrealized
depreciation
and
appreciation
until
the
payments
are
made,
at
which
time
they
are
realized.
The
Fund
purchased
or
wrote
OTC
option
contracts
primarily
to
manage
and/or
gain
exposure
to
foreign
exchange
rate
risk.
An
option
is
a
contract
entitling
the
holder
to
purchase
or
sell
a
specific
amount
of
shares
or
units
of
an
asset
or
notional
amount
of
a
swap
(swaption),
at
a
specified
price.
When
an
option
is
purchased
or
written,
an
amount
equal
to
the
premium
paid
or
received
is
recorded
as
an
asset
or
liability,
respectively.
Upon
exercise
of
an
option,
the
acquisition
cost
or
sales
proceeds
of
the
underlying
investment
is
adjusted
by
any
premium
received
or
paid.
Upon
expiration
of
an
option,
any
premium
received
or
paid
is
recorded
as
a
realized
gain
or
loss.
Upon
closing
an
option
other
than
through
expiration
or
exercise,
the
difference
between
the
premium
received
or
paid
and
the
cost
to
close
the
position
is
recorded
as
a
realized
gain
or
loss.

e.
Restricted
Currency
At
December
31,
2021,
the
Fund
held
currencies
in
certain
markets
in
which
the
ability
to
repatriate
such
currency
is
limited.
As
a
result
of
such
limitations
on
repatriation,
the
Fund
may
incur
substantial
delays
in
gaining
access
to
these
assets
and
may
be
exposed
to
potential
adverse
movements
in
currency
value.
f.
Income
and
Deferred
Taxes
It
is the Fund's
policy
to
qualify
as
a
regulated
investment
company
under
the
Internal
Revenue
Code. The Fund
intends
to
distribute
to
shareholders
substantially
all
of
its
taxable
income
and
net
realized
gains
to
relieve
it
from
federal
income
and excise
taxes.
As
a
result,
no
provision
for
U.S.
federal
income
taxes
is
required.
The Fund
may
be
subject
to
foreign
taxation
related
to
income
received,
capital
gains
on
the
sale
of
securities
and
certain
foreign
currency
transactions
in
the
foreign
jurisdictions
in
which
it
invests.
Foreign
taxes,
if
any,
are
recorded
based
on
the
tax
regulations
and
rates
that
exist
in
the
foreign
markets
in
which
the
Fund
invests.
When
a
capital
gain
tax
is
determined
to
apply,
the
Fund
records
an
estimated
deferred
tax
liability
in
an
amount
that
would
be
payable
if
the
securities
were
disposed
of
on
the
valuation
date.
The
Fund
may
recognize
an
income
tax
liability
related
to
its
uncertain
tax
positions
under
U.S.
GAAP
when
the
uncertain
tax
position
has
a
less
than
50%
probability
that
it
will
be
sustained
upon
examination
by
the
tax
authorities
based
on
its
technical
merits.
As
of
December
31,
2021,
the
Fund
has
determined
that
no
tax
liability
is
required
in
its
financial
statements
related
to
uncertain
tax
positions
for
any
open
tax
years
(or
expected
to
be
taken
in
future
tax
years).
Open
tax
years
are
those
that
remain
subject
to
examination
and
are
based
on
the
statute
of
limitations
in
each
jurisdiction
in
which
the
Fund
invests. 
g.
Security
Transactions,
Investment
Income,
Expenses
and
Distributions
Security
transactions
are
accounted
for
on
trade
date.
Realized
gains
and
losses
on
security
transactions
are
determined
on
a
specific
identification
basis.
Interest
income
and
estimated
expenses
are
accrued
daily.
Amortization
of
premium
and
accretion
of
discount
on
debt
securities
are
included
in
interest
income.
Dividend
income
is
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date
except
for
certain
dividends
from
securities
where
the
dividend
rate
is
not
available.
In
such
cases,
the
dividend
is
recorded
as
soon
as
the
information
is
received
by
the
Fund.
Distributions
to shareholders
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Distributable
earnings
are
determined
according
to
income
tax
regulations
(tax
basis)
and
may
differ
from
earnings
recorded
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP.
These
differences
may
be
permanent
or
temporary.
Permanent
differences
are
reclassified
among
capital
accounts
to
reflect
their
tax
character.
These
reclassifications
have
no
impact
on
net
assets
or
the
results
of
operations.
Temporary
differences
are
not
reclassified,
as
they
may
reverse
in
subsequent
periods.
Common
expenses
incurred
by
the
Trust
are
allocated
among
the
Funds
based
on
the
ratio
of
net
assets
of
each
Fund
to
the
combined
net
assets
of
the
Trust
or
based
on
the
ratio
of
number
of
shareholders
of
each
Fund
to
the
combined
number
of
shareholders
of
the
Trust.
Fund
specific
expenses
are
charged
directly
to
the
Fund
that
incurred
the
expense.
Realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
and
net
investment
income,
excluding
class
specific
expenses,
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
of
shares
based
upon
the
relative
proportion
of
net
assets
of
each
class.
Differences
in
per
share
distributions
by
class
are
generally
due
to
differences
in
class
specific
expenses.
Inflation-indexed
bonds
are
adjusted
for
inflation
through
periodic
increases
or
decreases
in
the
security's
interest
accruals,
face
amount,
or
principal
redemption
value,
by
amounts
corresponding
to
the
rate
of
inflation
as
measured
by
an
index.
Any
increase
or
decrease
in
the
face
amount
or
principal
redemption
value
will
be
included
as
inflation
principal
adjustments
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
h.
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation
of
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP
requires
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets

at

statements
and
the
amounts

Actual

could
differ
from
those
estimates.
i.
Guarantees
and
Indemnifications
Under
the
Trust's
organizational
documents,
its
officers
and
trustees
are
indemnified
by
the
Trust
against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to
the
Trust.
Additionally,
in
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
enters
into
contracts
with
service
providers
that
contain
general
indemnification
clauses.
The
Trust's
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
as
this
would
involve
future
claims
that
may
be
made
against
the
Trust
that
have
not
yet
occurred.
Currently,
the
Trust
expects
the
risk
of
loss
to
be
remote.

f.
Investments
in
Affiliated
Management
Investment
Companies
The
Fund
invests
in
one
or
more
affiliated
management
investment
companies.
As
defined
in
the
1940
Act,
an
investment
is
deemed
to
be
a
“Controlled
Affiliate”
of
a
fund
when
a
fund
owns,
either
directly
or
indirectly,
25%
or
more
of
the
affiliated
fund’s
outstanding
shares
or
has
the
power
to
exercise
control
over
management
or
policies
of
such
fund.
The
Fund
does
not
invest
for
purposes
of
exercising
a
controlling
influence
over
the
management
or
policies.
Management
fees
paid
by
the
Fund
are
waived
on
assets
invested
in
the
affiliated
management
investment
companies,
as
noted
in
the
Statement
of
Operations,
in
an
amount
not
to
exceed
the
management
and
administrative
fees

Differences
between
income
and/or
capital
gains
as
determined
on
a
book
basis
and
a
tax
basis
are
primarily
due
to
differing
treatments
of foreign

and

Transactions
Purchases
and
sales
of
investments
(excluding
short

securities)
for
the

$9,845,114
and

respectively.
6.
Credit
Risk
At
December
31,
2021,
the
Fund
had
47.7%
of
its
portfolio
invested
in
high
yield
or
other
securities
rated
below
investment
grade
and
unrated
securities.
These
securities
may
be
more
sensitive
to
economic
conditions
causing
greater
price
volatility
and
are
potentially
subject
to
a
greater
risk
of
loss
due
to
default
than
higher
rated
securities.
7.
Concentration
of
Risk
Investments
in
issuers
domiciled
or
with
significant
operations
in
developing
or
emerging
market
countries
may
be
subject
to
higher
risks
than
investments
in
developed
countries.
These
risks
include
fluctuating
currency
values,
underdeveloped
legal
or
business
systems,
and
changing
local
and
regional
economic,
political
and
social
conditions,
which
may
result
in
greater
market
volatility.
In
addition,
certain
foreign
securities
may
not
be
as
liquid
as
U.S.
securities.
Currencies
of
developing
or
emerging
market
countries
may
be
subject
to
significantly
greater
risks
than
currencies
of
developed
countries,
including
the
potential
inability
to
repatriate
those
currencies
into
U.S.
dollars.
 At
December
31,
2021,
the
Fund
had
4.8%
of
its
net
assets
denominated
in
Argentine
Pesos. Argentina
has
restricted
currency
repatriation
since
September
2019,
and
had
restructured
certain
issues
of
its
debt.
Political
and
economic
conditions
in
Argentina
could
continue
to
affect
the
value
of
the
Fund's
holdings.
8.
Novel
Coronavirus
Pandemic 
The
global
outbreak
of
the
novel
coronavirus
disease,
known
as
COVID-19, has
caused
adverse
effects
on
many
companies,
sectors,
nations,
regions
and
the
markets
in
general, and
may
continue for
an unpredictable duration.
The
effects
of
this
pandemic
may
materially
impact
the
value
and
performance
of
the Fund, its ability
to
buy
and
sell
fund
investments
at
appropriate
valuations
and its ability
to
achieve its investment
objectives.
9.
Restricted
Securities
The
Fund
invests
in
securities
that
are
restricted
under
the
Securities
Act
of
1933
(1933
Act).
Restricted
securities
are
often
purchased
in
private
placement
transactions,
and
cannot
be
sold
without
prior
registration
unless
the
sale
is
pursuant
to
an
exemption
under
the
1933
Act.
Disposal
of
these
securities
may
require
greater
effort
and
expense,
and
prompt
sale
at
an
acceptable
price
may
be
difficult.
The Fund
may
have
registration
rights
for
restricted
securities.
The
issuer
generally
incurs
all
registration
costs.
At
December
31,
2021,
investments
in
restricted
securities,
excluding
securities
exempt
from
registration
under
the
1933
Act,
were

Credit
Facility
The
Fund,
together
with
other
U.S.
registered
and
foreign
investment
funds
(collectively,
Borrowers),
managed
by
Franklin
Templeton,
are
borrowers
in
a
joint
syndicated
senior
unsecured
credit
facility
totaling
$2.675
billion
(Global
Credit
Facility)
which
matured
on
February
4,
2022.
This
Global
Credit
Facility
provides
a
source
of
funds
to
the
Borrowers
for
temporary
and
emergency
purposes,
including
the
ability
to
meet
future
unanticipated
or
unusually
large
redemption
requests.
Effective
February
4,
2022,
the
Borrowers
renewed
the
Global
Credit
Facility
for
a
one-year
term,
maturing
February
3,
2023,
for
a
total
of
$2.675
billion.
Under
the
terms
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility,
the
Fund
shall,
in
addition
to
interest
charged
on
any
borrowings
made
by
the
Fund
and
other
costs
incurred
by
the
Fund,
pay
its
share
of
fees
and
expenses
incurred
in
connection
with
the
implementation
and
maintenance
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility,
based
upon
its
relative
share
of
the
aggregate
net
assets
of
all
of
the
Borrowers,
including
an
annual
commitment
fee
of
0.15%
based
upon
the
unused
portion
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility.
These
fees
are
reflected
in
other
expenses
in

Statement
of
Operations.

Fair
Value
Measurements
The
Fund
follows
a
fair
value
hierarchy
that
distinguishes
between
market
data
obtained
from
independent
sources
(observable
inputs)
and
the Fund's
own
market
assumptions
(unobservable
inputs).
These
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
value
of
the
Fund's financial
instruments
and
are
summarized
in
the
following
fair
value
hierarchy:
Level
1
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
financial
instruments
Level
2
other
significant
observable
inputs
(including
quoted
prices
for
similar
financial
instruments,
interest
rates,
prepayment
speed,
credit
risk,
etc.)
Level
3
significant
unobservable
inputs
(including
the
Fund's
own
assumptions
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments)
The
input
levels
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
or
liquidity
associated
with
financial
instruments
at
that
level.
A
summary
of
inputs
used
as
of
December

of
Templeton

Shareholders
of

Bond
Fund
Opinion
on
the
Financial
Statements
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statement
of
assets
and
liabilities,
including
the
statement
of
investments,
of
Templeton
Sustainable
Emerging
Markets
Bond
Fund
(one
of
the
funds
constituting
Templeton
Income
Trust,
referred
to
hereafter
as
the
"Fund")
as
of
December
31,
2021,
the
related
statement
of
operations
for
the
year
ended
December
31,
2021,
the
statement
of
changes
in
net
assets
for
each
of
the
two
years
in
the
period
ended
December
31,
2021,
including
the
related
notes,
and
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
five
years
in
the
period
ended
December
31,
2021
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
“financial
statements”).
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Fund
as
of
December
31,
2021,
the
results
of
its
operations
for
the
year
then
ended,
the
changes
in
its
net
assets
for
each
of
the
two
years
in
the
period
ended
December
31,
2021
and
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
five
years
in
the
period
ended
December
31,
2021
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America.
Basis
for
Opinion
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Fund’s
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Fund’s
financial
statements
based
on
our
audits.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(PCAOB)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Fund
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audits
of
these
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
audits
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
December
31,
2021
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian,
transfer
agent
and
brokers;
when
replies
were
not
received
from
brokers,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.

The
Sarbanes-Oxley
Act
of
2002
and
Rules
adopted
by
the
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
require
the
Fund
to
disclose
whether
the
Fund’s
Audit
Committee
includes
at
least
one
member
who
is
an
audit
committee
financial
expert
within
the
meaning
of
such
Act
and
Rules.
The
Fund’s
Board
has
determined
that
there
is
at
least
one
such
financial
expert
on
the
Audit
Committee
and
has
designated
each
of
Ann
Torre
Bates
and
David
W.
Niemiec
as
an
audit
committee
financial
expert.
The
Board
believes
that
Ms.
Bates
and
Mr.
Niemiec
qualify
as
such
an
expert
in
view
of
their
extensive
business
background
and
experience.
Ms.
Bates
has
served
as
a
member
of
the
Fund
Audit

since
2008.

the

believes
that
Ms.

have
each
acquired
an

such
principles
in

with
the
accounting
estimates,
accruals

reserves,
and
analyzing
and
evaluating
financial
statements
that
present
a
breadth
and
level
of
complexity
of
accounting
issues
generally
comparable
to
those
of
the
Fund,
as
well
as
an
understanding
of

for
financial
reporting
and
an
understanding
of

functions.

SHAREHOLDER
LETTER
Dear
Shareholder:
The
12
months
ended
December
31,
2021,
saw
extraordinary
conditions
across
global
financial
markets
as
the
world
attempted
to
emerge
from
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
During
2021,
global
fixed
income
markets
endured
multiple
cycles
of
sharply
rising
and
falling
yields,
broad
U.S.
dollar
strengthening
and
reversals,
idiosyncratic
drivers
in
individual
local-currency
markets,
massive
economic
recoveries
and
setbacks,
global
supply
chain
disruptions,
rising
inflationary
pressures
in
the
Americas
and
Europe,
and
a
major
pivot
toward
global
monetary
tightening
in
2021’s
second
half
after
extraordinary,
highly
correlated
global
easing
in
2020
and
early
2021.
Overall,
sovereign
bond
yields
rose
in
most
countries
while
the
U.S.
dollar
strengthened,
although
with
intermittently
declining
yields
in
various
countries
and
shifting
cycles
of
currency
appreciation/depreciation
in
individual
currency
pairings.
Through
these
varying
conditions,
we
remained
committed
to
pursuing
our
investment
objectives.
In
this
environment,
global
government
bonds,
as
measured
by
the
FTSE
World
Government
Bond
Index,
posted
total
returns
of
-6.97%
and
-2.57%
in
U.S.
dollar
and
local
currency
terms,
respectively.

Historically,
patient
investors
have
achieved
rewarding
results
by
evaluating
their
goals,
diversifying
their
assets
globally
and
maintaining
a
disciplined
investment
program,
all
hallmarks
of
the
Templeton
investment
philosophy.
We
continue
to
recommend
investors
consult
their
financial
professionals
and
review
their
portfolios
to
design
a
long-term
strategy
and
portfolio
allocation
that
meet
their
individual
needs,
goals
and
risk
tolerance.

Global
Bond
Fund’s

prevailing

Economic
and
Market
Overview
The
12-month
period
ended
December
31,
2021,
was
a
tale
of
two
halves.
The
first
half
was
characterized
by
exuberant
optimism
for
an
end
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic,
punctuated
by
a
surge
in
economic
activity
in
the
spring
as
lockdowns
were
eased
and
economies
reopened.
The
second
half
was
characterized
by
rising
inflation
and
incremental
shifts
towards
monetary
tightening,
with
several
emerging
markets
entering
rate
hiking
cycles
ahead
of
the
major
developed
markets.
On
the
whole,
sovereign
bond
yields
rose
in
most
countries
during
the
period
while
the
U.S.
dollar
(USD)
broadly
strengthened,
albeit
with
intermittent
episodes
of
declining
yields
in
various
countries
and
shifting
cycles
of
currency
appreciation/depreciation
in
individual
currency
pairings.
The
period
began
with
sovereign
bond
yields
rising
sharply
across
much
of
the
world
over
the
first
three
months.
The
yield
on
the
10-year
U.S.
Treasury
(UST)
note
would
reach
its
high
mark
for
the
entire
period
on
March
31
at
1.74%,
82
basis
points
(bps)
higher
than
where
it
finished
2020.
Vaccine
distributions,
ongoing
stimulus
measures
and
optimism
for
improving
economic
conditions
appeared
to
fuel
reflation
expectations
across
global
financial
markets.
However,
the
harsh
realities
of
the
worldwide
health
crisis
and
economic
hardship
continued
to
have
profound
consequences
for
lives
and
livelihoods
around
the
world
in
the
winter
and
early
spring
months
of
2021.
Vaccine
distributions
progressively
accelerated
in
many
countries
during
the
first
half
of
2021,
though
supply
setbacks
notably
affected
areas
of
Europe
in
March
and
April.
Governments
continued
to
struggle
with
balancing
the
needs
of
their
economies
with
the
health
of
their
citizens
during
much
of
the
first
quarter
of
2021
before
higher
vaccination
rates
and
lower
case
levels
enabled
many
regions
to
progressively
reopen
their
economies
in
the
spring.
Rising
yields
strained
valuations
across
many
areas
of
the
global
fixed
income
markets
during
2021’s
first
three
months.
USD-denominated
sovereign
credit
sectors
broadly
saw
negative
returns
in
January,
February
and
March
before
sharply
reversing
to
generate
offsetting
positive
returns
in
April,
May
and
June
as
UST
yields
pulled
back
from
their
late-March
peaks.

Annual
Report
their
rising
trends
in
May
and
June
amid
rising
inflation
in
many
areas
of
Europe
and
the
Americas.
In
currency
markets,
the
USD
broadly
strengthened
against
a
number
of
developed
market
and
emerging
market
currencies
in
the
first
quarter
of
2021,
reversing
the
broad-based
weakening
trend
from
the
second
half
of
2020.
Broad
USD
weakness
returned
in
April
and
May
before
the
strengthening
pattern
returned
in
June.
Business
and
consumer
confidence
surveys
notably
strengthened
in
multiple
regions
during
the
second
quarter
of
2021,
despite
some
growing
concerns
over
the
proliferation
of
the
Delta
variant
of
COVID-19
in
several
parts
of
the
world
in
June.
Economic
activity
continued
to
broadly
expand
in
many
countries
in
the
second
quarter,
largely
driven
by
strength
in
goods
sectors
and
manufacturing,
as
well
as
historically
high
savings
rates
in
many
countries
that
helped
fuel
demand.
On
the
whole,
the
second
quarter
would
represent
the
largest
quarterly
surge
in
GDP
for
most
countries
in
2021.
In
the
second
half
of
2021,
sovereign
bond
yields
would
largely
continue
to
rise
across
much
of
the
world
as
central
banks
continued
to
wade
deeper
into
monetary
tightening
cycles.
Developed
market
sovereign
bond
yields
initially
declined
in
July
and
early
August
as
the
Delta
variant
proliferated
across
multiple
regions.
The
10-year
UST
note’s
yield
dropped
to
1.17%
on
August
3
as
risk
aversion
resurfaced,
its
lowest
level
since
mid-February.
However,
sovereign
bond
yields
largely
trended
higher
from
that
point
through
the
end
of
the
year
as
investor
sentiments
appeared
to
refortify.
In
September,
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(Fed)
announced
it
would
begin
tapering
its
asset
purchases
in
the
fourth
quarter
of
2021.
The
hawkish
shift
added
further
upward
pressure
on
UST
yields
and
drove
broad
strengthening
of
the
USD.
Sovereign
bond
yields
continued
to
trend
higher
in
many
regions
over
the
following
month,
with
the
10-
year
UST
note
reaching
1.70%
on
October
21,
its
highest
yield
since
early
April.
Sovereign
bond
yields
largely
maintained
their
levels
over
subsequent
weeks
until
the
Omicron
variant
of
COVID-19
emerged
in
the
final
days
of
November,
triggering
broad-based
risk
aversion
across
global
financial
markets
and
perceived
safe-haven
rallies
in
several
developed
market
assets.
Crude
oil
prices
dropped
around
20%
in
November
on
global
growth
concerns,
with
the
bulk
of
the
price
adjustments
occurring
in
the
wake
of
the
Omicron
news.
Sovereign
bond
yields
declined
in
several
developed
markets
in
late
November
and
early
December
on
the
heightened
risk
aversion
before
global
growth
concerns
eventually
dissipated
in
the
second
half
of
the
month,
even
as
COVID-19
cases
surged
to
record
levels.
Disease
severity
from
Omicron
appeared
milder
than
previous
variants,
leading
to
a
significant
decoupling
of
the
trend
lines
for
case
numbers
(rising
sharply)
and
mortality
rates
(moderating).
We
expected
COVID-19
variants
to
not
derail
global
growth
momentum,
though
the
risks
continued
to
bear
monitoring.
Commodity
and
energy
prices
ultimately
rebounded
in
December,
recovering
much
of
the
price
corrections
from
the
prior
month
as
reflation
sentiments
returned
to
global
financial
markets.
Manufacturing
and
business
surveys
largely
continued
to
remain
at
expansionary
levels
across
much
of
the
world
during
the
second
half
of
2021
but
moderated
from
their
mid-year
peaks.
Consumer
confidence
surveys
showed
similar
trends.
Labor
market
conditions
generally
continued
to
improve
in
many
countries,
though
labor
shortages
and
unemployment
remained
above
prepandemic
levels
in
several
regions.
Overall,
global
growth
showed
signs
of
moderating
from
the
historically
strong
rebound
in
the
first
half
of
2021
but
remained
largely
resilient,
in
our
view.
Inflation
figures
remained
historically
high
across
many
parts
of
the
world
during
the
second
half
of
the
period,
driven
by
a
combination
of
factors
that
included
resurgent
economic
activity,
supply
disruptions
in
certain
sectors,
and
the
effects
of
massive
fiscal
and
monetary
stimulus
measures.
Headline
inflation
(Consumer
Price
Index)
in
the
U.S.
remained
at
or
above
5.0%
year-over-year
from
May
through
the
end
of
2021,
coming
in
at
6.8%
in
November,
its
highest
level
since
1982.
A
growing
number
of
central
banks
pursued
monetary
tightening
measures
in
the
second
half
of
the
year,
with
persistent
inflationary
pressures
in
several
emerging
markets
motivating
aggressive
tightening
responses.
In
Latin
America,
Brazil’s
central
bank
hiked
its
policy
rate
by
725
bps
in
2021,
Chile
by
350
bps,
Peru
by
225
bps,
Mexico
by
150
bps
and
Colombia
by
125
bps.
In
eastern
Europe,
Russia
hiked
its
policy
rate
by
425
bps,
the
Czech
Republic
by
300
bps,
Hungary
by
180
bps
and
Poland
by
165
bps.
Most
countries
in
Asia
kept
policy
rates
unchanged
as
inflation
generally
remained
more
contained
and
within
central
bank
targets.
In
developed
markets,
most
central
banks
continued
to
keep
their
policy
rates
unchanged
at
extraordinarily
low
levels
during
the
year,
with
some
exceptions.
Norway
posted
two
25-bp
hikes
in
2021
to
bring
its
policy
rate
to
0.50%;
the
U.K.
hiked
its
policy
rate
by
15
bps
to
0.25%
in
December,
its
first
rate
adjustment
since
March
2020;
New
Zealand
posted
consecutive
25-bp
hikes
in
October
and
November,
bringing
Templeton
Global
Bond
Fund
5
franklintempleton.com
Annual
Report
its
policy
rate
to
0.75%;
and
South
Korea
hiked
its
policy
rate
25
bps
in
August
and
November
to
1.00%.
Other
developed
market
central
banks,
such
as
in
Canada,
Sweden
and
Australia,
remained
on
hold
with
policy
rates
in
2021,
but
were
at
various
stages
of
tapering
their
asset
purchase
programs.
The
Fed
kept
the
federal
funds
target
rate
unchanged
(0.00%
to
0.25%)
at
each
of
its
policy
meetings
during
the
period
but
it
began
tapering
its
asset
purchases
in
November.
However,
the
Fed
quickly
shifted
in
a
hawkish
direction
at
its
December
meeting,
doubling
the
pace
of
its
asset
purchase
tapering
for
January.
The
accelerated
pace
put
the
asset
purchase
program
on
schedule
to
conclude
by
March
2022,
enabling
a
rate
hiking
cycle
to
start
in
March
or
May,
earlier
than
previously
indicated
at
the
November
meeting.
Additionally,
the
Fed’s
dot
plot
survey
in
December
showed
that
12
of
18
officials
expect
at
least
three
rate
hikes
in
2022,
a
substantial
change
from
the
September
survey
that
saw
nine
of
18
officials
project
no
hikes
until
2023.
We
expected
UST
term
premiums
to
ratchet
higher
in
upcoming
quarters,
with
a
bear-flattening
effect
driven
by
rising
yields
in
the
short-
to
intermediate-term
range
of
the
yield
curve.
The
European
Central
Bank
(ECB)
kept
monetary
policy
largely
unchanged
during
the
period,
leaving
the
main
refinancing
operations
rate
at
0.0%
and
the
main
deposit
facility
rate
at
-0.5%.
ECB
President
Christine
Lagarde
reaffirmed
at
the
October
and
December
meetings
that
key
rates
will
likely
remain
unchanged
through
2022.
The
ongoing
accommodative
policy
stance
from
the
ECB
appeared
likely
to
diverge
substantially
from
the
tightening
trajectory
of
the
Fed
in
2022.
We
expected
the
euro
to
weaken
against
the
USD
given
negative
rates
and
widening
rate
differentials
with
the
U.S.,
as
well
as
greater
headwinds
to
growth
in
Europe.
The
Bank
of
Japan
(BOJ)
also
kept
monetary
policy
largely
unchanged
during
the
period,
leaving
the
overnight
interest
rate
at
-0.1%
and
the
yield
target
on
the
10-
year
Japanese
government
bond
at
0.0%.
In
December,
the
BOJ
announced
plans
to
scale
down
its
emergency
pandemic
purchasing
measures
by
tapering
its
corporate
debt
purchases
to
precrisis
levels
by
April.
We
expected
the
Japanese
yen
to
face
headwinds
from
widening
rate
differentials
with
the
U.S.
Overall,
most
developed
markets
saw
10-year
sovereign
bond
yields
rise
during
the
period,
including
Norway,
Sweden,
the
U.K.,
South
Korea,
Canada
and
core
Europe.
The
yield
on
the
10-year
UST
note
finished
the
year
at
1.51%,
59
bps
higher
than

In
emerging
markets,
10-year
sovereign
bond
yields
rose
sharply
across
much
of
Latin
America,
including
Brazil,
Mexico,
Colombia,
Chile
and
Peru.
In
eastern
Europe,
10-year
yields
trended
higher
in
Poland,
Hungary,
Russia
and
the
Czech
Republic
on
elevated
inflation
and
ongoing
monetary
tightening.
Yields
also
rose
in
much
of
Asia,
including
India,
Indonesia,
Thailand
and
Singapore,
but
declined
in
China.
USD-denominated
sovereign
credit
sectors
broadly
saw
moderately
negative
returns
for
the
period
(with
some
exceptions
in
individual
countries),
as
the
investment-
grade
credit
tiers
came
under
pressure
from
the
rising
yield
environment
while
high-yield
credit
tiers
largely
endured
additional
spread
widening.
In
currency
markets,
the
USD
broadly
strengthened
against
most
developed
market
and
emerging
market
currencies
in
2021,
appreciating
against
the
euro,
the
British
pound,
the
Japanese
yen,
the
South

won,
the
Australian
dollar
and
the
New

In
specific
pairings,
the
Norwegian
krone
and
the
Canadian
dollar
appreciated
against
the
euro,
while
the
Swedish
krona
depreciated.
In
emerging

Investment
Strategy
We

While
seeking
opportunities,
we
monitor
various
factors
including
changes
in
interest
rates,
currency
exchange
rates
and
credit
risks.
For

Manager’s
Discussion
The
successful
development
of
vaccines
against
COVID-19
in
final
months
of
2020
substantially
changed
our
outlook
and
positioning
for
2021.
In
the
weeks
before
the
12-month
reporting
period
began,
we
significantly
shifted
the
emphasis
of
the
Fund’s
strategic
positioning
from
a
safe-haven
stance
toward
an
increasing
allocation
to
risk
assets.
We
expected
a
rebound
in
global
economic
activity
and
improving
economic
conditions
in
the
spring
and
summer
months
of
2021
as
vaccines
were
progressively
distributed
and
people
increasingly
reengaged
with
the
world.
We
were
actively
constructive
in
a
number
of
regions
throughout
the
12-month
period,
particularly
in
areas
of
Asia
that
appeared
to
be
at
the
forefront
of
the
global
economic
recovery.
Overall,
the
Fund
was
focused
on
three
core
themes
during
the
period:
(1)
value
in
select
currencies
against
the
USD
and
the
euro,
specifically
in
countries
with
strong
trade
dynamics,
current
account
surpluses,
better
fiscal
management
and
stronger
growth
potential,
notably
in
Asia;
(2)
avoiding
interest-rate
risks
in
low-yielding
developed
markets;
and
(3)
pursuing
sovereign
bonds
with
relatively
higher
yields
in
a
select
set
of
resilient
emerging
markets.
At
the
beginning
of
the
period,
the
Fund
held
overweighted
positions
in
specific
currencies
against
the
USD
and
the
euro.
We
held
notable
exposures
to
the
Chinese
yuan,
the
South
Korean
won,
the
Indian
rupee,
the
Indonesian
rupiah
and
the
Japanese
yen
against
the
USD.
We
added
exposure
to
the
Singapore
dollar
in
April,
the
New
Zealand
dollar
in
June
and
the
Thai
baht
in
December.
We
held
an
overweighted
position
in
the
Japanese
yen
through
the
first
quarter
of
2021
before
reducing
it
to
around
a
neutral
weight
in
the
second
quarter.
In
the
fourth
quarter
of
2021,
we
reduced
our
Japanese
yen
position
to
a
significant
underweighting.
In
EMEA,
we
held
exposures
in
the
Norwegian
krone
and
Swedish
krona
against
the
euro
throughout
2021.
In
the
Americas,
we
held
long
exposure
to
the
Canadian
dollar
against
the
euro,
and
long
exposures
to
the
Colombian
peso
and
Brazilian
real
against
the
USD.
In
May,
we
added
exposure
to
the
Chilean
peso
against
the
USD.
During
the
period,
we
used
currency
forwards
and
currency
options
to
actively
manage
currency
exposures.
We
also
continued
to
focus
on
compelling
risk-adjusted
yields
in
various
local-currency
bond
markets,
specifically
in
countries
with
resilient
economies
and
strong
trade
dynamics.
We
continued
to
largely
avoid
developed
market
duration
exposures
in
preference
for
higher
yields
available
in
select
emerging
markets,
notably
including
Indonesia,
India,
Mexico,
Colombia,
Brazil
and
Ghana,
among
others.
After
exiting
our
local-currency
position
in
Brazil
in
the
first
quarter
of
2021
due
to
acute
political
and
economic
risks,
we
reestablished
the
position
in
the
second
quarter
as
political
compromises
in
the
spring
and
better-than
expected
economic
figures
supported
an
improved
outlook.
In
July,
we
added
to
our
local-currency
position
in
Brazil
and
reduced
our
position
in
Mexico.
We
also
saw
pockets
of
value
in
certain
USD-denominated
sovereign
credits
during
the
reporting
period,
but
we
continued
to
largely
prefer
specific
valuations
in
the
local-currency
markets
over
the
more
fully
valued
credit
markets.
During
the
period,
the
Fund’s
negative
absolute
performance
was
primarily
due
to
currency
positions.
Interest-rate
strategies
contributed
to
absolute
results,
while
sovereign
credit
exposures
had
a
largely
neutral
effect.
Among
currencies,
positions
in
the
Japanese
yen,
South
Korean
won,
Argentine
peso,
Colombian
peso
and
Chilean
peso
detracted
from
absolute
performance.
However,
the
Fund’s
net-negative
exposure
to
the
euro
contributed
to
absolute
results,
as
did
its
position
in
the
Norwegian
krone
against
the
euro.
Its
position
in
the
Chinese
yuan
against
the
USD
also
contributed
to
absolute
performance.
The
Fund
maintained
a
defensive
approach
regarding
interest
rates
in
developed
markets,
while
holding
duration
exposures
in
select
emerging
markets.
Duration
exposures
in
Argentina,
Indonesia
and
Ghana
contributed
to
absolute
results.
On
a
relative
basis,
the
Fund’s
performance
fared
better
than
that
of
its
benchmark
index
primarily
due
to
interest-rate
strategies.
Currency
positions
detracted
from
relative
results,
while
sovereign
credit
exposures
had
a
largely
neutral
effect.
Overweighted
duration
exposures
in
Argentina,
Indonesia
and
Ghana
contributed
to
relative
performance,
as
did
the
Fund’s
lack
of
duration
exposure
in
the
euro
area.
Among
currencies,
overweighted
positions
in
the
South
Korean
won,
Argentine
peso,
Colombian
peso
and
Chilean
peso
detracted
from
relative
results,
as
did
the
Fund’s
overweighted
position
in
the
Japanese
yen
for
part
of
the
period.
However,
its
underweighted
exposure
to
the
euro
contributed
to
relative
performance,
as
did
its
overweighted
position
in
the
Norwegian
krone
against
the
euro.
Its
overweighted
position
in
the
Chinese
yuan
also
contributed
to
relative
results.

including
currency
fluctuations
(which
may
be
significant
over
the
short

and
economic
and
political
uncertainties;
investments
in
emerging

securities
are
subject
to
various
risks
in
addition
to
those
relating
to

include
higher
risk
of

Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction

As
prices
of

Changes
in
the
financial
strength
of
a

Annual
Report
As
a
Fund
shareholder,
you
can
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
sales
charges
(loads)
on
Fund
purchases
and
redemptions;
and
(2)
ongoing
Fund
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
Fund
expenses.
All
mutual
funds
have
ongoing
costs,
sometimes
referred
to
as
operating
expenses.
The
table
below
shows
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
can
help
you
understand
these
costs
and
compare
them
with
those
of
other
mutual
funds.
The
table
assumes
a
$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6
).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
(
if
Actual
Expenses
Paid
During
Period
were
$7.50,
then
8.6
x
$7.50
=
$64.50
).
In
this
illustration,
the
actual
expenses
paid
this
period
are
$64.50.

with
Other
Funds
Under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
in
the
table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.
1.
Expenses
are
equal
to
the
annualized
expense
ratio
for
the
six-month
period
as
indicated
above—in
the
far
right
column—multiplied
by
the
simple
average
account
value
over
the
period
indicated,
and
then
multiplied
by
184/365
to
reflect
the
one-half
year
period.
2.
Reflects
expenses
after
fee
waivers
and
expense
reimbursements.
Does
not
include
acquired
fund
fees
and
expenses.

Annual
Report
1.
Organization
and
Significant
Accounting
Policies
Templeton
Income
Trust (Trust)
is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(1940
Act)
as
an
open-end
management
investment
company,
consisting
of four separate
funds
and
applies
the
specialized
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
in
U.S.
Generally
Accepted
Accounting
Principles
(U.S.
GAAP).
Templeton
Global
Bond
Fund
(Fund)
is
included
in
this
report.
The
Fund
offers five
classes
of
shares:
Class
A,
Class
C,
Class
R,
Class
R6
and
Advisor
Class. Effective
August
2,
2021,
Class
C
shares
automatically
convert
to
Class
A
shares
on
a
monthly
basis,
after
they
have
been
held
for
8
years.
Prior
to
August
2,
2021,
Class
C
shares
converted
to
Class
A
shares
after
a
10-year
holding
period.
Each
class
of
shares
may
differ
by
its
initial
sales
load,
contingent
deferred
sales
charges,
voting
rights
on
matters
affecting
a
single
class,
its
exchange
privilege
and
fees
due
to
differing
arrangements
for
distribution
and
transfer
agent
fees.
The
following
summarizes
the Fund's
significant
accounting
policies.
a.
Financial
Instrument
Valuation 
The
Fund's
investments
in
financial
instruments
are
carried
at
fair
value
daily.
Fair
value
is
the
price
that
would
be
received
to
sell
an
asset
or
paid
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
on
the
measurement
date.
The
Fund
calculates
the
net
asset
value
(NAV)
per
share
each business
day as
of
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
or
the
regularly
scheduled
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(NYSE),
whichever
is
earlier.
Under
compliance
policies
and
procedures
approved
by
the
Trust's Board
of
Trustees
(the
Board),
the Fund's
administrator
has
responsibility
for
oversight
of
valuation,
including
leading
the
cross-functional
Valuation
Committee
(VC).
The
Fund
may
utilize
independent
pricing
services,
quotations
from
securities
and
financial
instrument
dealers,
and
other
market
sources
to
determine
fair
value. 
Debt
securities
generally
trade
in
the over-the-counter
(OTC)
market
rather
than
on
a
securities
exchange.
The
Fund's
pricing
services
use
multiple
valuation
techniques
to
determine
fair
value.
In
instances
where
sufficient
market
activity
exists,
the
pricing
services
may
utilize
a
market-based
approach
through
which
quotes
from
market
makers
are
used
to
determine
fair
value.
In
instances
where
sufficient
market
activity
may
not
exist
or
is
limited,
the
pricing
services
also
utilize
proprietary
valuation
models
which
may
consider
market
characteristics
such
as
benchmark
yield
curves,
credit
spreads,
estimated
default
rates,
anticipated
market
interest
rate
volatility,
coupon
rates,
anticipated
timing
of
principal
repayments,
underlying
collateral,
and
other
unique
security
features
in
order
to
estimate
the
relevant
cash
flows,
which
are
then
discounted
to
calculate
the
fair
value.
Securities
denominated
in
a
foreign
currency
are
converted
into
their
U.S.
dollar
equivalent
at
the
foreign
exchange
rate
in
effect
at
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
on
the
date
that
the
values
of
the
foreign
debt
securities
are
determined.
Investments
in open-end mutual
funds
are
valued
at
the
closing
NAV.
Certain
derivative
financial
instruments
trade
in
the
OTC
market.
The
Fund's
pricing
services
use
various
techniques
including
industry
standard
option
pricing
models
and
proprietary
discounted
cash
flow
models
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
those
instruments.
The
Fund's
net
benefit
or
obligation
under
the
derivative
contract,
as
measured
by
the
fair
value
of
the
contract,
is
included
in
net
assets.
The
Fund
has
procedures
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments
for
which
market
prices
are
not
reliable
or
readily
available.
Under
these
procedures,
the Fund
primarily
employs
a
market-based
approach
which
may
use
related
or
comparable
assets
or
liabilities,
recent
transactions,
market
multiples,
book
values,
and
other
relevant
information
for
the
investment
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
the
investment.
An
income-based
valuation
approach
may
also
be
used
in
which
the
anticipated
future
cash
flows
of
the
investment
are
discounted
to
calculate
fair
value.
Discounts
may
also
be
applied
due
to
the
nature
or
duration
of
any
restrictions
on
the
disposition
of
the
investments.
Due
to
the
inherent
uncertainty
of
valuations
of
such
investments,
the
fair
values
may
differ
significantly
from
the
values
that
would
have
been
used
had
an
active
market
existed.
b.
Foreign
Currency
Translation 
Portfolio
securities
and
other
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated

on

date.
Portfolio
securities
and
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
contain
risks
that
those
currencies
will
decline
in
value
relative
to
the
U.S.
dollar.
Occasionally,
events
may
impact
the
availability
or
reliability
of
foreign
exchange
rates
used
to
convert
the
U.S.
dollar
equivalent
value.
If
such
an
event
occurs,
the
foreign
exchange
rate
will
be
valued
at
fair
value
using
procedures
established
and
approved
by
the
Board.
The
Fund
does
not
separately
report
the
effect
of
changes
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
changes
in
market
prices
on
securities
held.
Such
changes
are
included
in
net
realized
and
unrealized
gain
or
loss
from
investments
in
the
Statement of
Operations.
Realized
foreign
exchange
gains
or
losses
arise
from
sales
of
foreign
currencies,
currency
gains
or
losses
realized
between
the
trade
and
settlement
dates
on
securities
transactions
and
the
difference
between
the

and
the
U.S.

equivalent
of
the
amounts
actually
received
or
paid.
Net
unrealized
foreign

arise
from
changes
in
foreign

rates
on
foreign
denominated
assets
and

other
than
investments
in
securities
held
at
the
end
of
the
reporting
period.
c.
Derivative
Financial
Instruments
The
Fund invested
in
derivative
financial
instruments
in
order
to
manage
risk
or
gain
exposure
to
various
other
investments
or
markets.
Derivatives
are
financial
contracts
based
on
an
underlying
or
notional
amount,
require
no
initial
investment
or
an
initial
net
investment
that
is
smaller
than
would
normally
be
required
to
have
a
similar
response
to
changes
in
market
factors,
and
require
or
permit
net
settlement.
Derivatives
contain
various
risks
including
the
potential
inability
of
the
counterparty
to
fulfill
their
obligations
under
the
terms
of
the
contract,
the
potential
for
an
illiquid
secondary
market,
and/or
the
potential
for
market
movements
which
expose
the
Fund
to
gains
or
losses
in
excess
of
the
amounts
shown
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Realized
gain
and
loss
and
unrealized
appreciation
and
depreciation
on
these
contracts
for
the
period
are
included
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Derivative
counterparty
credit
risk
is
managed
through
a
formal
evaluation
of
the
creditworthiness
of
all
potential
counterparties.
The
Fund
attempts
to
reduce its
exposure
to
counterparty
credit
risk
on
OTC
derivatives,
whenever
possible,
by
entering
into
International
Swaps
and
Derivatives
Association
(ISDA)
master
agreements
with
certain
counterparties.
These
agreements
contain
various
provisions,
including
but
not
limited
to
collateral
requirements,
events
of
default,
or
early
termination.
Termination
events
applicable
to
the
counterparty
include
certain
deteriorations
in
the
credit
quality
of
the
counterparty.
Termination
events
applicable
to
the Fund
include
failure
of
the
Fund
to
maintain
certain
net
asset
levels
and/or
limit
the
decline
in
net
assets
over
various
periods
of
time.
In
the
event
of
default
or
early
termination,
the
ISDA
master
agreement
gives
the
non-defaulting
party
the
right
to
net
and
close-out
all
transactions
traded,
whether
or
not
arising
under
the
ISDA
agreement,
to
one
net
amount
payable
by
one
counterparty
to
the
other.
However,
absent
an
event
of
default
or
early
termination,
OTC
derivative
assets
and
liabilities
are
presented
gross
and
not
offset
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Early
termination
by
the
counterparty
may
result
in
an
immediate
payment
by
the
Fund
of
any
net
liability
owed
to
that
counterparty
under
the
ISDA
agreement.
Collateral
requirements
differ
by
type
of
derivative.
Collateral
terms
are
contract
specific
for
OTC
derivatives.
For
OTC
derivatives
traded
under
an
ISDA
master
agreement,
posting
of
collateral
is
required
by
either
the
Fund
or
the
applicable
counterparty
if
the
total
net
exposure
of
all
OTC
derivatives
with
the
applicable
counterparty
exceeds
the
minimum
transfer
amount,
which
typically
ranges
from
$100,000
to
$250,000,
and
can
vary
depending
on
the
counterparty
and
the
type
of
agreement.
Generally,
collateral
is
determined
at
the
close
of
Fund
business
each
day
and
any
additional
collateral
required
due
to
changes
in
derivative
values
may
be
delivered
by
the
Fund
or
the
counterparty
the
next
business
day,
or
within
a
few
business
days.
Collateral
pledged
and/or
received
by
the
Fund,
if
any,
is
held
in
segregated
accounts
with
the
Fund’s
custodian/counterparty
broker
and
can
be
in
the
form
of
cash
and/or
securities.
Unrestricted
cash
may
be
invested
according
to
the
Fund's
investment
objectives.
To
the
extent
that
the
amounts
due
to
the
Fund
from
its
counterparties
are
not
subject
to
collateralization
or
are
not
fully
collateralized,
the
Fund
bears
the
risk
of
loss
from
counterparty
non-performance.

Fund
(continued)
The
Fund entered
into
OTC
forward
exchange
contracts
primarily
to
manage
and/or
gain
exposure
to
certain
foreign
currencies.
A
forward
exchange
contract
is
an
agreement
between
the
Fund
and
a
counterparty
to
buy
or
sell
a
foreign
currency at
a
specific
exchange
rate
on
a
future
date.
The
Fund
purchased
or
wrote
OTC
option
contracts
primarily
to
manage
and/or
gain
exposure
to
foreign
exchange
rate
risk.
An
option
is
a
contract
entitling
the
holder
to
purchase
or
sell
a
specific
amount
of
shares
or
units
of
an
asset
or
notional
amount
of
a
swap
(swaption),
at
a
specified
price.
When
an
option
is
purchased
or
written,
an
amount
equal
to
the
premium
paid
or
received
is
recorded
as
an
asset
or
liability,
respectively.
Upon
exercise
of
an
option,
the
acquisition
cost
or
sales
proceeds
of
the
underlying
investment
is
adjusted
by
any
premium
received
or
paid.
Upon
expiration
of
an
option,
any
premium
received
or
paid
is
recorded
as
a
realized
gain
or
loss.
Upon
closing
an
option
other
than
through
expiration
or
exercise,
the
difference
between
the
premium
received
or
paid
and
the
cost
to
close
the
position
is
recorded
as
a
realized
gain
or
loss.
See
Note
9
regarding
other
derivative
information.
d.
Restricted
Cash
At
December
31,
2021, the
Fund
held
restricted
cash
in
connection
with
investments
in
certain
derivative
securities.
Restricted
cash
is
held
in
a
segregated
account
with
the
Fund’s
custodian
and
is
reflected
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
e.
Restricted
Currency
At
December
31,
2021,
the
Fund
held
currencies
in
certain
markets
in
which
the
ability
to
repatriate
such
currency
is
limited.
As
a
result
of
such
limitations
on
repatriation,
the
Fund
may
incur
substantial
delays
in
gaining
access
to
these
assets
and
may
be
exposed
to
potential
adverse
movements
in
currency
value.
f.
Income
and
Deferred
Taxes
It
is the Fund's
policy
to
qualify
as
a
regulated
investment
company
under
the
Internal
Revenue
Code. The Fund
intends
to
distribute
to
shareholders
substantially
all
of
its
taxable
income
and
net
realized
gains
to
relieve
it
from
federal
income
and excise
taxes.
As
a
result,
no
provision
for
U.S.
federal
income
taxes
is
required.
The Fund
may
be
subject
to
foreign
taxation
related
to
income
received,
capital
gains
on
the
sale
of
securities
and
certain
foreign
currency
transactions
in
the
foreign
jurisdictions
in
which
it
invests.
Foreign
taxes,
if
any,
are
recorded
based
on
the
tax
regulations
and
rates
that
exist
in
the
foreign
markets
in
which
the
Fund
invests.
When
a
capital
gain
tax
is
determined
to
apply,
the
Fund
records
an
estimated
deferred
tax
liability
in
an
amount
that
would
be
payable
if
the
securities
were
disposed
of
on
the
valuation
date.
The
Fund
may
recognize
an
income
tax
liability
related
to
its
uncertain
tax
positions
under
U.S.
GAAP
when
the
uncertain
tax
position
has
a
less
than
50%
probability
that
it
will
be
sustained
upon
examination
by
the
tax
authorities
based
on
its
technical
merits.
As
of
December
31,
2021,
the
Fund
has
determined
that
no
tax
liability
is
required
in
its
financial
statements
related
to
uncertain
tax
positions
for
any
open
tax
years
(or
expected
to
be
taken
in
future
tax
years).
Open
tax
years
are
those
that
remain
subject
to
examination
and
are
based
on
the
statute
of
limitations
in
each
jurisdiction
in
which
the
Fund
invests. 
g.
Security
Transactions,
Investment
Income,
Expenses
and
Distributions
Security
transactions
are
accounted
for
on
trade
date.
Realized
gains
and
losses
on
security
transactions
are
determined
on
a
specific
identification
basis.
Interest
income
and
estimated
expenses
are
accrued
daily.
Amortization
of
premium
and
accretion
of
discount
on
debt
securities
are
included
in
interest
income.
Dividend
income
is
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Distributions
to
shareholders
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Distributable
earnings
are
determined
according
to
income
tax
regulations
(tax
basis)
and
may
differ
from
earnings
recorded
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP.
These
differences
may
be
permanent
or
temporary.
Permanent
differences
are
reclassified
among
capital
accounts
to
reflect
their
tax
character.
These
reclassifications
have
no
impact
on
net
assets
or
the
results
of
operations.
Temporary
differences
are
not
reclassified,
as
they
may
reverse
in
subsequent
periods.
Common
expenses
incurred
by
the
Trust
are
allocated
among
the
Funds
based
on
the
ratio
of
net
assets
of
each
Fund
to
the
combined
net
assets
of
the
Trust

Realized

Differences
in

or

in

interest
accruals,

amount,
or

value,
by

in
the
Statement

h.
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation
of
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP
requires
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements
and
the
amounts
of
income
and
expenses
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
i.
Guarantees
and
Indemnifications
Under
the
Trust's
organizational
documents,
its
officers
and
trustees
are
indemnified
by
the
Trust
against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to
the
Trust.
Additionally,
in
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
enters
into
contracts
with
service
providers
that
contain
general
indemnification
clauses.
The
Trust's
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
as
this
would
involve
future
claims
that
may
be
made
against
the
Trust
that
have
not
yet
occurred.
Currently,
the
Trust
expects
the
risk
of
loss
to
be
remote.

At
December
31,
2021,
the
cost
of
investments
and
net
unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
for
income
tax
purposes
were
as
follows:
Differences
between
income
and/or
capital
gains
as
determined
on
a
book
basis
and
a
tax
basis
are
primarily
due
to
differing
treatments
of
foreign
currency
transactions,
foreign
capital
gains
tax,
bond
discounts
and
premiums,
tax
straddles
and
inflation
related
adjustments
on
foreign
securities.
In
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP
permanent
differences
are
reclassified
among
capital
accounts
to
reflect
their
tax
character.
At
the
year

such
reclassifications
were
as
follows:
5.
Investment
Transactions
Purchases
and
sales
of
investments
(excluding
short
term
securities)
for
the
year
ended

$2,711,471,123
and
$6,822,741,918,
respectively.
6.
Credit
Risk
At
December
31,
2021,
the
Fund
had
18.9%
of
its
portfolio
invested
in
high
yield
securities
or
other
securities
rated
below
investment
grade
and
unrated
securities.
These
securities
may
be
more
sensitive
to
economic
conditions
causing
greater
price
volatility
and
are
potentially
subject
to
a
greater
risk
of
loss
due
to
default
than
higher
rated
securities.
7.
Concentration
of
Risk
Investments
in
issuers
domiciled
or
with
significant
operations
in
developing
or
emerging
market
countries
may
be
subject
to
higher
risks
than
investments
in
developed
countries.
These
risks
include
fluctuating
currency
values,
underdeveloped
legal
or
business
systems,
and
changing
local
and
regional
economic,
political
and
social
conditions,
which
may
result
in
greater
market
volatility.
In
addition,
certain
foreign
securities
may
not
be
as
liquid
as
U.S.
securities.
Currencies
of
developing
or
emerging
market
countries
may
be
subject
to
significantly
greater
risks
than
currencies
of
developed
countries,
including
the
potential
inability
to
repatriate
those
currencies
into
U.S.
dollars.
At
December
31,
2021,
the
Fund
had
4.1%
of
its
net
assets
denominated
in
Argentine
Pesos. Argentina
has
restricted
currency
repatriation
since
September
2019,
and
had
restructured
certain
issues
of
its
debt.
Political
and
economic
conditions
in
Argentina
could
continue
to
affect
the
value
of
the
Fund's
holdings.
8.
Novel
Coronavirus
Pandemic 
The
global
outbreak
of
the
novel
coronavirus
disease,
known
as
COVID-19, has
caused
adverse
effects
on
many
companies,
sectors,
nations,
regions
and
the
markets
in
general, and
may
continue for
an unpredictable duration.
The
effects
of
this
pandemic
may
materially
impact
the
value
and
performance
of
the Fund, its ability
to
buy
and
sell
fund
investments
at
appropriate
valuations
and its ability
to
achieve its investment
objectives.

Credit
Facility
The
Fund,
together
with
other
U.S.
registered
and
foreign
investment
funds
(collectively,
Borrowers),
managed
by
Franklin
Templeton,
are
borrowers
in
a
joint
syndicated
senior
unsecured
credit
facility
totaling
$2.675
billion
(Global
Credit
Facility)
which
matured
on
February
4,
2022.
This
Global
Credit
Facility
provides
a
source
of
funds
to
the
Borrowers
for
temporary
and
emergency
purposes,
including
the
ability
to
meet
future
unanticipated
or
unusually
large
redemption
requests.
Effective
February
4,
2022,
the
Borrowers
renewed
the
Global
Credit
Facility
for
a
one-year
term,
maturing
February
3,
2023,
for
a
total
of
$2.675
billion.
Under
the
terms
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility,
the
Fund
shall,
in
addition
to
interest
charged
on
any
borrowings
made
by
the
Fund
and
other
costs
incurred
by
the
Fund,
pay
its
share
of
fees
and
expenses
incurred
in
connection
with
the
implementation
and
maintenance
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility,
based
upon
its
relative
share
of
the
aggregate
net
assets
of
all
of
the
Borrowers,
including
an
annual
commitment
fee
of
0.15%
based
upon
the
unused
portion
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility.
These
fees
are
reflected
in
other

Fair
Value
Measurements
The
Fund
follows
a
fair
value
hierarchy
that
distinguishes
between
market
data
obtained
from
independent
sources
(observable
inputs)
and
the Fund's
own
market
assumptions
(unobservable
inputs).
These
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
value
of
the
Fund's financial
instruments
and
are
summarized
in
the
following
fair
value
hierarchy:
Level
1
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
financial
instruments
Level
2
other
significant
observable
inputs
(including
quoted
prices
for
similar
financial
instruments,
interest
rates,
prepayment
speed,
credit
risk,
etc.)
Level
3
significant
unobservable
inputs
(including
the
Fund's
own
assumptions
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments)
The
input
levels
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
or
liquidity
associated
with
financial
instruments
at
that
level.
A
summary
of
inputs
used
as
of
December
31,
2021,
in
valuing
the
Fund's
assets
and
liabilities
carried
at
fair
value,
is

New
Accounting
Pronouncements
In
March
2020,
the
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
(FASB)
issued
Accounting
Standards
Update
(ASU)
No.
2020-04,
Reference
Rate
Reform
(Topic
848)
Facilitation
of
the
Effects
of
Reference
Rate
Reform
on
Financial
Reporting.
In
January
2021,
the
FASB
issued
ASU
No.
2021-01,
with
further
amendments
to
Topic
848.
The
amendments
in
the
ASUs
provide
optional
temporary
accounting
recognition
and financial
reporting
relief
from
the
effect
of
certain
types
of
contract
modifications
due
to
the
planned
discontinuation
of
the
London
Interbank
Offered
Rate
(LIBOR)
and
other
interbank-offered
based
reference
rates
as
of
the
end
of
2021
for
certain
LIBOR
settings
and
2023
for
the
remainder. The
ASUs
are
effective
for
certain
reference
rate-related
contract
modifications
that
occur
during
the
period
March
12,
2020
through
December
31,
2022.
Management
has
reviewed
the
requirements
and
believes
the
adoption
of
these
ASUs
will
not
have
a
material
impact
on
the
financial
statements.

Subsequent
Events
The
Fund
has
evaluated
subsequent
events
through
the
issuance
of
the financial
statements
and
determined
that
no
events
have
occurred
that
require
disclosure,
other
than
those
already
disclosed
in
the
financial
statements.

Board
of
Trustees

of

Fund
Opinion
on
the
Financial
Statements
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statement
of
assets
and
liabilities,
including
the
statement
of
investments,
of
Templeton
Global
Bond
Fund
(one
of
the
funds
constituting
Templeton
Income
Trust,
referred
to
hereafter
as
the
"Fund")
as
of
December
31,
2021,
the
related
statement
of
operations
for
the
year
ended
December
31,
2021,
the
statement
of
changes
in
net
assets
for
each
of
the
two
years
in
the
period
ended
December
31,
2021,
including
the
related
notes,
and
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
periods
indicated
therein
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
“financial
statements”).
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Fund
as
of
December
31,
2021,
the
results
of
its
operations
for
the
year
then
ended,
the
changes
in
its
net
assets
for
each
of
the
two
years
in
the
period
ended
December
31,
2021
and
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
periods
indicated
therein
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America.
Basis
for
Opinion
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Fund’s
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Fund’s
financial
statements
based
on
our
audits.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(PCAOB)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Fund
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audits
of
these
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
audits
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
December
31,
2021
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian,
transfer
agent
and
brokers;
when
replies
were
not
received
from
brokers,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.

The
Sarbanes-Oxley
Act
of
2002
and
Rules
adopted
by
the
U.S.
Securities

require
the
Fund
to
disclose
whether

includes
at
least
one
member
who
is
an

committee
financial
expert
within
the
meaning
of
such
Act
and
Rules.
The
Fund’s
Board
has
determined
that
there
is
at
least
one
such
financial
expert
on
the
Audit
Committee
and
has
designated
each

an

financial
expert.
The
Board
believes
that
Ms.

qualify
as
such
an
expert
in
view
of
their
extensive
business
background
and
experience.

has
served
as
a
member
of

that
present
a
breadth
and
level
of

of
accounting
issues
generally
comparable

SHAREHOLDER
LETTER
Dear
Shareholder:
The
12
months
ended
December
31,
2021,
saw
extraordinary
conditions
across
global
financial
markets
as
the
world
attempted
to
emerge
from
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
During
2021,
global
fixed
income
markets
endured
multiple
cycles
of
sharply
rising
and
falling
yields,
broad
U.S.
dollar
strengthening
and
reversals,
idiosyncratic
drivers
in
individual
local-currency
markets,
massive
economic
recoveries
and
setbacks,
global
supply
chain
disruptions,
rising
inflationary
pressures
in
the
Americas
and
Europe,
and
a
major
pivot
toward
global
monetary
tightening
in
2021’s
second
half
after
extraordinary,
highly
correlated
global
easing
in
2020
and
early
2021.
Overall,
sovereign
bond
yields
rose
in
most
countries
while
the
U.S.
dollar
strengthened,
although
with
intermittently
declining
yields
in
various
countries
and
shifting
cycles
of
currency
appreciation/depreciation
in
individual
currency
pairings.
Through
these
varying
conditions,
we
remained
committed
to
pursuing
our
investment
objectives.
In
this
environment,
global
government
bonds,
as
measured
by
the
FTSE
World
Government
Bond
Index,
posted
total
returns
of
-6.97%
and
-2.57%
in
U.S.
dollar
and
local
currency
terms,
respectively.
1
Historically,
patient
investors
have
achieved
rewarding
results
by
evaluating
their
goals,
diversifying
their
assets
globally
and
maintaining
a
disciplined
investment
program,
all
hallmarks
of
the
Templeton
investment
philosophy.
We
continue
to
recommend
investors
consult
their
financial
professionals
and
review
their
portfolios
to
design
a
long-term
strategy
and
portfolio
allocation
that
meet
their
individual
needs,
goals
and
risk
tolerance.
Templeton
International
Bond
Fund’s

report

prevailing
conditions
and

investment
decisions

the

remember
all
securities
markets
fluctuate,

do
mutual
fund
share
prices.

thank
you
for
investing
with

Templeton,
welcome

Economic
and
Market
Overview
The
12-month
period
ended
December
31,
2021,
was
a
tale
of
two
halves.
The
first
half
was
characterized
by
exuberant
optimism
for
an
end
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic,
punctuated
by
a
surge
in
economic
activity
in
the
spring
as
lockdowns
were
eased
and
economies
reopened.
The
second
half
was
characterized
by
rising
inflation
and
incremental
shifts
towards
monetary
tightening,
with
several
emerging
markets
entering
rate
hiking
cycles
ahead
of
the
major
developed
markets.
On
the
whole,
sovereign
bond
yields
rose
in
most
countries
during
the
period
while
the
U.S.
dollar
(USD)
broadly
strengthened,
albeit
with
intermittent
episodes
of
declining
yields
in
various
countries
and
shifting
cycles
of
currency
appreciation/depreciation
in
individual
currency
pairings.
The
period
began
with
sovereign
bond
yields
rising
sharply
across
much
of
the
world
over
the
first
three
months.
The
yield
on
the
10-year
U.S.
Treasury
(UST)
note
would
reach
its
high
mark
for
the
entire
period
on
March
31
at
1.74%,
82
basis
points
(bps)
higher
than
where
it
finished
2020.
Vaccine
distributions,
ongoing
stimulus
measures
and
optimism
for
improving
economic
conditions
appeared
to
fuel
reflation
expectations
across
global
financial
markets.
However,
the
harsh
realities
of
the
worldwide
health
crisis
and
economic
hardship
continued
to
have
profound
consequences
for
lives
and
livelihoods
around
the
world
in
the
winter
and
early
spring
months
of
2021.
Vaccine
distributions
progressively
accelerated
in
many
countries
during
the
first
half
of
2021,
though
supply
setbacks
notably
affected
areas
of
Europe
in
March
and
April.
Governments
continued
to
struggle
with
balancing
the
needs
of
their
economies
with
the
health
of
their
citizens
during
much
of
the
first
quarter
of
2021
before
higher
vaccination
rates
and
lower
case
levels
enabled
many
regions
to
progressively
reopen
their
economies
in
the
spring.
Rising
yields
strained
valuations
across
many
areas
of
the
global
fixed
income
markets
during
2021’s
first
three
months.
USD-denominated
sovereign
credit
sectors
broadly
saw
negative
returns
in
January,
February
and
March
before
sharply
reversing
to
generate
offsetting
positive
returns
in
April,
May
and
June
as

late-March
peaks.
Sovereign
bond
yields
generally
resumed
their
rising
trends
in
May
and
June
amid
rising
inflation
in
many
areas
of
Europe
and
the
Americas.
In
currency
markets,
the
USD
broadly
strengthened
against
a
number
of
developed
market
and
emerging
market
currencies
in
the
first
quarter
of
2021,
reversing
the
broad-based
weakening
trend
from
the
second
half
of
2020.
Broad
USD
weakness
returned
in
April
and
May
before
the
strengthening
pattern
returned
in
June.
Business
and
consumer
confidence
surveys
notably
strengthened
in
multiple
regions
during
the
second
quarter
of
2021,
despite
some
growing
concerns
over
the
proliferation
of
the
Delta
variant
of
COVID-19
in
several
parts
of
the
world
in
June.
Economic
activity
continued
to
broadly
expand
in
many
countries
in
the
second
quarter,
largely
driven
by
strength
in
goods
sectors
and
manufacturing,
as
well
as
historically
high
savings
rates
in
many
countries
that
helped
fuel
demand.
On
the
whole,
the
second
quarter
would
represent
the
largest
quarterly
surge
in
GDP
for
most
countries
in
2021.
In
the
second
half
of
2021,
sovereign
bond
yields
would
largely
continue
to
rise
across
much
of
the
world
as
central
banks
continued
to
wade
deeper
into
monetary
tightening
cycles.
Developed
market
sovereign
bond
yields
initially
declined
in
July
and
early
August
as
the
Delta
variant
proliferated
across
multiple
regions.
The
10-year
UST
note’s
yield
dropped
to
1.17%
on
August
3
as
risk
aversion
resurfaced,
its
lowest
level
since
mid-February.
However,
sovereign
bond
yields
largely
trended
higher
from
that
point
through
the
end
of
the
year
as
investor
sentiments
appeared
to
refortify.
In
September,
the
U.S.
Federal
Reserve
(Fed)
announced
it
would
begin
tapering
its
asset
purchases
in
the
fourth
quarter
of
2021.
The
hawkish
shift
added
further
upward
pressure
on
UST
yields
and
drove
broad
strengthening
of
the
USD.
Sovereign
bond
yields
continued
to
trend
higher
in
many
regions
over
the
following
month,
with
the
10-
year
UST
note
reaching
1.70%
on
October
21,
its
highest
yield
since
early
April.
Sovereign
bond
yields
largely
maintained
their
levels
over
subsequent
weeks
until
the
Omicron
variant
of
COVID-19
emerged
in
the
final
days
of
November,
triggering
broad-based
risk
aversion
across
global
financial
markets
and
perceived
safe-haven
rallies
in
several
developed
market
assets.
Crude
oil
prices
dropped
around
20%
in
November
on
global
growth
concerns,
with
the
bulk
of
the
price
adjustments
occurring
in
the
wake
of
the
Omicron
news.
Sovereign
bond
yields
declined
in
several
developed
markets
in
late
November
and
early
December
on
the
heightened
risk
aversion
before
global
growth
concerns
eventually
dissipated
in
the
second
half
of
the
month,
even
as
COVID-19
cases
surged
to
record
levels.
Disease
severity
from
Omicron
appeared
milder
than
previous
variants,
leading
to
a
significant
decoupling
of
the
trend
lines
for
case
numbers
(rising
sharply)
and
mortality
rates
(moderating).
We
expected
COVID-19
variants
to
not
derail
global
growth
momentum,
though
the
risks
continued
to
bear
monitoring.
Commodity
and
energy
prices
ultimately
rebounded
in
December,
recovering
much
of
the
price
corrections
from
the
prior
month
as
reflation
sentiments
returned
to
global
financial
markets.
Manufacturing
and
business
surveys
largely
continued
to
remain
at
expansionary
levels
across
much
of
the
world
during
the
second
half
of
2021
but
moderated
from
their
mid-year
peaks.
Consumer
confidence
surveys
showed
similar
trends.
Labor
market
conditions
generally
continued
to
improve
in
many
countries,
though
labor
shortages
and
unemployment
remained
above
prepandemic
levels
in
several
regions.
Overall,
global
growth
showed
signs
of
moderating
from
the
historically
strong
rebound
in
the
first
half
of
2021
but
remained
largely
resilient,
in
our
view.
Inflation
figures
remained
historically
high
across
many
parts
of
the
world
during
the
second
half
of
the
period,
driven
by
a
combination
of
factors
that
included
resurgent
economic
activity,
supply
disruptions
in
certain
sectors,
and
the
effects
of
massive
fiscal
and
monetary
stimulus
measures.
Headline
inflation
(Consumer
Price
Index)
in
the
U.S.
remained
at
or
above
5.0%
year-over-year
from
May
through
the
end
of
2021,
coming
in
at
6.8%
in
November,
its
highest
level
since
1982.
A
growing
number
of
central
banks
pursued
monetary
tightening
measures
in
the
second
half
of
the
year,
with
persistent
inflationary
pressures
in
several
emerging
markets
motivating
aggressive
tightening
responses.
In
Latin
America,
Brazil’s
central
bank
hiked
its
policy
rate
by
725
bps
in
2021,
Chile
by
350
bps,
Peru
by
225
bps,
Mexico
by
150
bps
and
Colombia
by
125
bps.
In
eastern
Europe,
Russia
hiked
its
policy
rate
by
425
bps,
the
Czech
Republic
by
300
bps,
Hungary
by
180
bps
and
Poland
by
165
bps.
Most
countries
in
Asia
kept
policy
rates
unchanged
as
inflation
generally
remained
more
contained
and
within
central
bank
targets.
In
developed
markets,
most
central
banks
continued
to
keep
their
policy
rates
unchanged
at
extraordinarily
low
levels
during
the
year,
with
some
exceptions.
Norway
posted
two
25-bp
hikes
in
2021
to
bring
its
policy
rate
to
0.50%;
the
U.K.
Templeton
International
Bond
Fund
5
franklintempleton.com
Annual
Report
hiked
its
policy
rate
by
15
bps
to
0.25%
in
December,
its
first
rate
adjustment
since
March
2020;
New
Zealand
posted
consecutive
25-bp
hikes
in
October
and
November,
bringing
its
policy
rate
to
0.75%;
and
South
Korea
hiked
its
policy
rate
25
bps
in
August
and
November
to
1.00%.
Other
developed
market
central
banks,
such
as
in
Canada,
Sweden
and
Australia,
remained
on
hold
with
policy
rates
in
2021,
but
were
at
various
stages
of
tapering
their
asset
purchase
programs
The

the
federal
funds
target
rate
unchanged
(0.00%
to
0.25%)
at
each
of
its
policy
meetings
during
the
period
but
it
began
tapering
its
asset
purchases
in
November.
However,
the
Fed
quickly
shifted
in
a
hawkish
direction
at
its
December
meeting,
doubling
the
pace
of
its
asset
purchase
tapering
for
January.
The
accelerated
pace
put
the
asset
purchase
program
on
schedule
to
conclude
by
March
2022,
enabling
a
rate
hiking
cycle
to
start
in
March
or
May,
earlier
than
previously
indicated
at
the
November
meeting.
Additionally,
the
Fed’s
dot
plot
survey
in
December
showed
that
12
of
18
officials
expect
at
least
three
rate
hikes
in
2022,
a
substantial
change
from
the
September
survey
that
saw
nine
of
18
officials
project
no
hikes
until
2023.
We
expected
UST
term
premiums
to
ratchet
higher
in
upcoming
quarters,
with
a
bear-flattening
effect
driven
by
rising
yields
in
the
short-
to
intermediate-term
range
of
the
yield
curve.
The
European
Central
Bank
(ECB)
kept
monetary
policy
largely
unchanged
during
the
period,
leaving
the
main
refinancing
operations
rate
at
0.0%
and
the
main
deposit
facility
rate
at
-0.5%.
ECB
President
Christine
Lagarde
reaffirmed
at
the
October
and
December
meetings
that
key
rates
will
likely
remain
unchanged
through
2022.
The
ongoing
accommodative
policy
stance
from
the
ECB
appeared
likely
to
diverge
substantially
from
the
tightening
trajectory
of
the
Fed
in
2022.
We
expected
the
euro
to
weaken
against
the
USD
given
negative
rates
and
widening
rate
differentials
with
the
U.S.,
as
well
as
greater
headwinds
to
growth
in
Europe.
The
Bank
of
Japan
(BOJ)
also
kept
monetary
policy
largely
unchanged
during
the
period,
leaving
the
overnight
interest
rate
at
-0.1%
and
the
yield
target
on
the
10-
year
Japanese
government
bond
at
0.0%.
In
December,
the
BOJ
announced
plans
to
scale
down
its
emergency
pandemic
purchasing
measures
by
tapering
its
corporate
debt
purchases
to
precrisis
levels
by
April.
We
expected
the
Japanese
yen
to
face
headwinds
from
widening
rate
differentials
with
the
U.S.
Overall,
most
developed
markets
saw
10-year
sovereign
bond
yields
rise
during
the
period,
including
Norway,
Sweden,
the
U.K.,
South
Korea,
Canada
and
core
Europe.
The
yield
on
the
10-year
UST
note
finished
the
year
at
1.51%,
59
bps
higher
than
where
it
ended
2020.
In
emerging
markets,
10-year
sovereign
bond
yields
rose
sharply
across
much
of
Latin
America,
including
Brazil,
Mexico,
Colombia,
Chile
and
Peru.
In
eastern
Europe,
10-year
yields
trended
higher
in
Poland,
Hungary,
Russia
and
the
Czech
Republic
on
elevated
inflation
and
ongoing
monetary
tightening.
Yields
also
rose
in
much
of
Asia,
including
India,
Indonesia,
Thailand
and
Singapore,
but
declined
in
China.
USD-denominated
sovereign
credit
sectors
broadly
saw
moderately
negative
returns
for
the
period
(with
some
exceptions
in
individual
countries),
as
the
investment-
grade
credit
tiers
came
under
pressure
from
the
rising
yield
environment
while
high-yield
credit
tiers
largely
endured
additional
spread
widening.
In
currency
markets,
the
USD
broadly
strengthened
against
most
developed
market
and
emerging
market
currencies
in
2021,
appreciating
against
the
euro,
the
British
pound,
the
Japanese
yen,
the
South
Korean
won,
the
Australian
dollar
and
the
New
Zealand
dollar.
In
specific
pairings,
the
Norwegian
krone
and
the
Canadian
dollar
appreciated
against
the
euro,
while
the
Swedish
krona
depreciated.
In
emerging
markets,
the
USD
depreciated
against
the
Chinese
yuan,
but
appreciated
against
most
currencies
in
Latin
America
and
Asia,
including
the
Brazilian
real,
Mexican
peso,
Colombian
peso,
Chilean
peso,
Indian
rupee,
Indonesian
rupiah,
Singapore
dollar
and
Thai
baht.
Investment
Strategy
We
invest
selectively
in
non-U.S.
bonds
around
the
world
based
upon
our
assessment
of
changing
market,
political
and
economic
conditions.
While
seeking
opportunities,
we
monitor
various
factors
including
changes
in
interest
rates,
currency
exchange
rates
and
credit
risks.
For
purposes
of
pursuing
its
investment
goals,
the
Fund
regularly
enters
into
various
currency-related
transactions
involving
derivative
instruments,
principally
currency
and
cross
currency
forwards,
but
it
may
also
use
currency
and
currency
index
futures
contracts
and
currency
options.
The
Fund
may
also
enter
into
various
other
transactions
involving
derivatives,
including
interest-rate/bond
futures
and
swap
agreements
(which
may
include
interest
rate
and
credit
default
swaps).

Annual

Manager’s
Discussion
The
successful
development
of
vaccines
against
COVID-19
in
final
months
of
2020
substantially
changed
our
outlook
and
positioning
for
2021.
In
the
weeks
before
the
12-month
reporting
period
began,
we
significantly
shifted
the
emphasis
of
the
Fund’s
strategic
positioning
from
a
safe-haven
stance
toward
an
increasing
allocation
to
risk
assets.
We
expected
a
rebound
in
global
economic
activity
and
improving
economic
conditions
in
the
spring
and
summer
months
of
2021
as
vaccines
were
progressively
distributed
and
people
increasingly
reengaged
with
the
world.
We
were
actively
constructive
in
a
number
of
regions
throughout
the
12-month
period,
particularly
in
areas
of
Asia
that
appeared
to
be
at
the
forefront
of
the
global
economic
recovery.
Overall,
the
Fund
was
focused
on
three
core
themes
during
the
period:
(1)
value
in
select
currencies
against
the
USD
and
the
euro,
specifically
in
countries
with
strong
trade
dynamics,
current
account
surpluses,
better
fiscal
management
and
stronger
growth
potential,
notably
in
Asia;
(2)
avoiding
interest-rate
risks
in
low-yielding
developed
markets;
and
(3)
pursuing
sovereign
bonds
with
relatively
higher
yields
in
a
select
set
of
resilient
emerging
markets.
At
the
beginning
of
the
period,
the
Fund
held
overweighted
positions
in
specific
currencies
against
the
USD
and
the
euro.
We
held
notable
exposures
to
the
Chinese
yuan,
the
South
Korean
won,
the
Indian
rupee,
the
Indonesian
rupiah
and
the
Japanese
yen
against
the
USD.
We
added
exposure
to
the
Singapore
dollar
in
April,
the
New
Zealand
dollar
in
June
and
the
Thai
baht
in
December.
We
held
an
overweighted
position
in
the
Japanese
yen
through
February,
then
reduced
it
to
a
neutral
weight
in
March
and
an
underweighting
in
April.
We
further
reduced
the
underweighted
position
in
May
and
November.
In
the
Europe,
Middle
East
and
Africa
region,
we
held
exposures
in
the
Norwegian
krone
and
Swedish
krona
against
the
euro
throughout
2021.
In
the
Americas,
we
held
long
exposure
to
the
Canadian
dollar
against
the
euro,
and
long
exposures
to
the
Colombian
peso
and
Brazilian
real
against
the
USD.
In
May,
we
added
exposure
to
the
Chilean
peso
against
the
USD.
During
the
period,
we
used
currency
forwards
and
currency
options
to
actively
manage
currency
exposures.
We
also
continued
to
focus
on
compelling
risk-adjusted
yields
in
various
local-currency
bond
markets,
specifically
in
countries
with
resilient
economies
and
strong
trade
dynamics.
We
continued
to
largely
avoid
developed
market
duration
exposures
in
preference
for
higher
yields
available
in
select
emerging
markets,
notably
including
Indonesia,
India,
Mexico,
Colombia,
Brazil
and
Ghana,
among
others.
After
exiting
our
local-currency
position
in
Brazil
in
the
first
quarter
of
2021
due
to
acute
political
and
economic
risks,
we
reestablished
the
position
in
the
second
quarter
as
political
compromises
in
the
spring
and
better-than
expected
economic
figures
supported
an
improved
outlook.
In
July,
we
added
to
our
local-currency
position
in
Brazil
and
reduced
our
position
in
Mexico.
We
also
saw
pockets
of
value
in
certain
USD-denominated
sovereign
credits
during
the
reporting
period,
but
we
continued
to
largely
prefer
specific
valuations
in
the
local-currency
markets
over
the
more
fully
valued
credit
markets.
During
the
period,
the
Fund’s
negative
absolute
performance
was
primarily
due
to
currency
positions.
Interest-rate
strategies
contributed
to
absolute
results,
while
sovereign
credit
exposures
had
a
largely
neutral
effect.
Among
currencies,
positions
in
the
Japanese
yen,
South
Korean
won,
Argentine
peso,
Colombian
peso
and
Chilean
peso
detracted
from
absolute
performance.
However,
the
Fund’s
net-negative
exposure
to
the
euro
contributed
to
absolute
results,
as
did
its
positions
in
the
Norwegian
krone
and
Canadian
dollar
against
the
euro.
Its
position
in
the
Chinese
yuan
against
the
USD
also
contributed
to
absolute
performance.
The
Fund
maintained
a
defensive
approach
regarding
interest
rates
in
developed
markets,
while
holding
duration
exposures
in
select
emerging
markets.
Duration
exposures
in
Argentina,
Indonesia
and
Ghana
contributed
to
absolute
results.
On
a
relative
basis,
the
Fund’s
performance
fared
better
than
that
of
its
benchmark
index
primarily
due
to
interest-rate
strategies.
Currency
positions
detracted
from
relative
results,
while
sovereign
credit
exposures
had
a
largely
neutral
effect.
Overweighted
duration
exposures
in
Argentina,
Indonesia
and
Ghana
contributed
to
relative
performance,
as
did
the
Fund’s
lack
of
duration
exposure
in
the
euro
area.
Among
currencies,
overweighted
positions
in
the
South
Korean
won,
Argentine
peso,
Colombian
peso
and
Chilean
peso
detracted
from
relative
results.
However,
the
Fund’s
underweighted
exposure
to
the
euro
contributed
to
relative
performance,
as
did
its
overweighted
positions
in
the
Norwegian
krone

Annual
Report
Each
class
of
shares
is
available
to
certain
eligible
investors
and
has
different
annual
fees
and
expenses,
as
described
in
the
prospectus.
All
investments
involve
risks,
including
possible
loss
of
principal.
Derivatives,
including
currency
management
strategies,
involve
costs
and
can
create
economic
leverage
in
the
portfolio,
which
may
result
in
significant
volatility
and
cause
the
Fund
to
participate
in
losses
on
an
amount
that
exceeds
the
Fund’s
initial
investment.
The
Fund
may
not
achieve
the
anticipated
benefits,
and
may
realize
losses
when
a
counterparty
fails
to
perform
as
promised.
The
markets
for
particular
securities
or
types
of
securities
are
or
may
become
relatively
illiquid.
Reduced
liquidity
will
have
an
adverse
impact
on
the
security’s
value
and
on
the
Fund’s
ability
to
sell
such
securities
when
necessary
to
meet
the
Fund’s
liquidity
needs
or
in
response
to
a
specific
market
event.
Foreign
securities
involve
special
risks,
including
currency
fluctuations
(which
may
be
significant
over
the
short
term)
and
economic
and
political
uncertainties;
investments
in
emerging
markets
involve
heightened
risks
related
to
the
same
factors.
Sovereign
debt
securities
are
subject
to
various
risks
in
addition
to
those
relating
to
debt
securities
and
foreign
securities
generally,
including,
but
not
limited
to,
the
risk
that
a
government
entity
may
be
unwilling
or
unable
to
pay
interest
and
repay
principal
on
its
sovereign
debt,
or
otherwise
meet
its
obligations
when
due.
Investments
in
lower
rated
bonds
include
higher
risk
of
default
and
loss
of
principal.
Bond
prices
generally
move
in
the
opposite
direction
of
interest
rates.
As
the
prices
of
bonds
in
the
Fund
adjust
to
a
rise
in
interest
rates,
the
Fund’s
share
price
may
decline.
Changes
in
the
financial
strength
of
a
bond
issuer
or
in
a
bond’s
credit
rating
may
affect
its
value.
Events
such
as
the
spread
of
deadly
diseases,
disasters,
and
financial,
political
or
social
disruptions,
may
heighten
risks
and
adversely
affect
performance.
The
Fund’s
prospectus
also
includes
a
description
of
the
main
investment
risks.
1.
The
Fund
has
an
expense
reduction
and
a
fee
waiver
associated
with
any

it
makes
in
a
Franklin
Templeton
money
fund
and/or
other
Franklin
Templeton
fund,
contractually
guaranteed
through
4/30/22.
Fund
investment
results
reflect
the
expense
reduction
and
fee
waiver;
without
these
reductions,
the
results
would
have
been
lower.

Annual
Report
As
a
Fund
shareholder,
you
can
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
including
sales
charges
(loads)
on
Fund
purchases
and
redemptions;
and
(2)
ongoing
Fund
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
Fund
expenses.
All
mutual
funds
have
ongoing
costs,
sometimes
referred
to
as
operating
expenses.
The
table
below
shows
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
can
help
you
understand
these
costs
and
compare
them
with
those
of
other
mutual
funds.
The
table
assumes
a
$1,000
investment
held
for
the
six
months
indicated.
Actual
Fund
Expenses
The
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses
in
the
columns
under
the
heading
“Actual.”
In
these
columns
the
Fund’s
actual
return,
which
includes
the
effect
of
Fund
expenses,
is
used
to
calculate
the
“Ending
Account
Value”
for
each
class
of
shares.
You
can
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
during
the
period
by
following
these
steps
(
of
course,
your
account
value
and
expenses
will
differ
from
those
in
this
illustration
):
Divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(
if
your
account
had
an
$8,600
value,
then
$8,600
÷
$1,000
=
8.6
).
Then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
row
for
your
class
of
shares
under
the
headings
“Actual”
and
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
(
if
Actual
Expenses
Paid
During
Period
were
$7.50,
then
8.6
x
$7.50
=
$64.50
).
In
this
illustration,
the
actual
expenses
paid
this
period
are
$64.50.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
with
Other
Funds
Under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
in
the
table,
information
is
provided
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund’s
actual
return.
This
information
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period,
but
it
can
help
you
compare
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
with
those
of
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
for
the
class
of
shares
you
hold
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs.
Therefore,
information
under
the
heading
“Hypothetical”
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
compare
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
total
costs
would
have
been
higher.
1.
Expenses
are
equal
to
the
annualized
expense
ratio
for
the
six-month
period
as
indicated
above—in
the
far
right
column—multiplied
by
the
simple
average
account
value
over
the
period
indicated,
and
then
multiplied
by
184/365
to
reflect
the
one-half
year
period.
2.
Reflects
expenses
after
fee
waivers
and
expense
reimbursements.
Does
not
include
acquired
fund
fees
and

classes
of
shares:
Class
A,
Class
C,
Class
R,
Class
R6
and
Advisor
Class. Effective
August
2,
2021,
Class
C
shares
automatically
convert
to
Class
A
shares
on
a
monthly
basis,
after
they
have
been
held
for
8
years.
Prior
to
August
2,
2021,
Class
C
shares
converted
to
Class
A
shares
after
a
10-year
holding
period.
Each
class
of
shares
may
differ
by
its
initial
sales
load,
contingent
deferred
sales
charges,
voting
rights
on
matters
affecting
a
single
class,
its
exchange
privilege
and
fees
due
to
differing
arrangements
for
distribution
and
transfer
agent
fees.
The
following
summarizes
the Fund's
significant
accounting
policies.
a.
Financial
Instrument
Valuation 
The
Fund's
investments
in
financial
instruments
are
carried
at
fair
value
daily.
Fair
value
is
the
price
that
would
be
received
to
sell
an
asset
or
paid
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
on
the
measurement
date.
The
Fund
calculates
the
net
asset
value
(NAV)
per
share
each business
day as
of
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
or
the
regularly
scheduled
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(NYSE),
whichever
is
earlier.
Under
compliance
policies
and
procedures
approved
by
the
Trust's Board
of
Trustees
(the
Board),
the Fund's
administrator
has
responsibility
for
oversight
of
valuation,
including
leading
the
cross-functional
Valuation
Committee
(VC).
The
Fund
may
utilize
independent
pricing
services,
quotations
from
securities
and
financial
instrument
dealers,
and
other
market
sources
to
determine
fair
value. 
Debt
securities
generally
trade
in
the over-the-counter
(OTC)
market
rather
than
on
a
securities
exchange.
The
Fund's
pricing
services
use
multiple
valuation
techniques
to
determine
fair
value.
In
instances
where
sufficient
market
activity
exists,
the
pricing
services
may
utilize
a
market-based
approach
through
which
quotes
from
market
makers
are
used
to
determine
fair
value.
In
instances
where
sufficient
market
activity
may
not
exist
or
is
limited,
the
pricing
services
also
utilize
proprietary
valuation
models
which
may
consider
market
characteristics
such
as
benchmark
yield
curves,
credit
spreads,
estimated
default
rates,
anticipated
market
interest
rate
volatility,
coupon
rates,
anticipated
timing
of
principal
repayments,
underlying
collateral,
and
other
unique
security
features
in
order
to
estimate
the
relevant
cash
flows,
which
are
then
discounted
to
calculate
the
fair
value.
Securities
denominated
in
a
foreign
currency
are
converted
into
their
U.S.
dollar
equivalent
at
the
foreign
exchange
rate
in
effect
at
4
p.m.
Eastern
time
on
the
date
that
the
values
of
the
foreign
debt
securities
are
determined.
Investments
in open-end mutual
funds
are
valued
at
the
closing
NAV.
Certain
derivative
financial
instruments
trade
in
the
OTC
market.
The
Fund's
pricing
services
use
various
techniques
including
industry
standard
option
pricing
models
and
proprietary
discounted
cash
flow
models
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
those
instruments.
The
Fund's
net
benefit
or
obligation
under
the
derivative
contract,
as
measured
by
the
fair
value
of
the
contract,
is
included
in
net
assets.
The
Fund
has
procedures
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments
for
which
market
prices
are
not
reliable
or
readily
available.
Under
these
procedures,
the Fund
primarily
employs
a
market-based
approach
which
may
use
related
or
comparable
assets
or
liabilities,
recent
transactions,
market
multiples,
book
values,
and
other
relevant
information
for
the
investment
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
the
investment.
An
income-based
valuation
approach
may
also
be
used
in
which
the
anticipated
future
cash
flows
of
the
investment
are
discounted
to
calculate
fair
value.
Discounts
may
also
be
applied
due
to
the
nature
or
duration
of
any
restrictions
on
the
disposition
of
the
investments.
Due
to
the
inherent
uncertainty
of
valuations
of
such
investments,
the
fair
values
may
differ
significantly
from
the
values
that
would
have
been
used
had
an
active
market
existed.
b.
Foreign
Currency
Translation 
Portfolio
securities
and
other
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
based
on
the
exchange
rate
of
such
currencies
against
U.S.
dollars
on
the
date
of
valuation.
The
Fund
may
enter
into
foreign
currency
exchange
contracts
to
facilitate
transactions
denominated
in
a
foreign
currency.
Purchases
and
sales
of
securities,
income
and
expense
items
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
Templeton

Fund
(continued)
dollars
at
the
exchange
rate
in
effect
on
the
transaction
date.
Portfolio
securities
and
assets
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
contain
risks
that
those
currencies
will
decline
in
value
relative
to
the
U.S.
dollar.
Occasionally,
events
may
impact
the
availability
or
reliability
of
foreign
exchange
rates
used
to
convert
the
U.S.
dollar
equivalent
value.
If
such
an
event
occurs,
the
foreign
exchange
rate
will
be
valued
at
fair
value
using
procedures
established
and
approved
by
the
Board.
The
Fund
does
not
separately
report
the
effect
of
changes
in
foreign
exchange
rates
from
changes
in
market
prices
on
securities
held.
Such
changes
are
included
in
net
realized
and
unrealized
gain
or
loss
from
investments
in
the
Statement of
Operations.
Realized
foreign
exchange
gains
or
losses
arise
from
sales
of
foreign
currencies,
currency
gains
or
losses
realized
between
the
trade
and
settlement
dates
on
securities
transactions
and
the
difference
between
the
recorded
amounts
of
dividends,
interest,
and
foreign
withholding
taxes
and
the
U.S.
dollar
equivalent
of
the
amounts
actually
received
or
paid.
Net
unrealized
foreign
exchange
gains
and
losses
arise
from
changes
in
foreign
exchange
rates
on
foreign
denominated
assets
and
liabilities
other
than
investments
in
securities
held
at
the
end
of
the
reporting
period.
c.
Derivative
Financial
Instruments
The
Fund invested
in
derivative
financial
instruments
in
order
to
manage
risk
or
gain
exposure
to
various
other
investments
or
markets.
Derivatives
are
financial
contracts
based
on
an
underlying
or
notional
amount,
require
no
initial
investment
or
an
initial
net
investment
that
is
smaller
than
would
normally
be
required
to
have
a
similar
response
to
changes
in
market
factors,
and
require
or
permit
net
settlement.
Derivatives
contain
various
risks
including
the
potential
inability
of
the
counterparty
to
fulfill
their
obligations
under
the
terms
of
the
contract,
the
potential
for
an
illiquid
secondary
market,
and/or
the
potential
for
market
movements
which
expose
the
Fund
to
gains
or
losses
in
excess
of
the
amounts
shown
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Realized
gain
and
loss
and
unrealized
appreciation
and
depreciation
on
these
contracts
for
the
period
are
included
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
Derivative
counterparty
credit
risk
is
managed
through
a
formal
evaluation
of
the
creditworthiness
of
all
potential
counterparties.
The
Fund
attempts
to
reduce its
exposure
to
counterparty
credit
risk
on
OTC
derivatives,
whenever
possible,
by
entering
into
International
Swaps
and
Derivatives
Association
(ISDA)
master
agreements
with
certain
counterparties.
These
agreements
contain
various
provisions,
including
but
not
limited
to
collateral
requirements,
events
of
default,
or
early
termination.
Termination
events
applicable
to
the
counterparty
include
certain
deteriorations
in
the
credit
quality
of
the
counterparty.
Termination
events
applicable
to
the Fund
include
failure
of
the
Fund
to
maintain
certain
net
asset
levels
and/or
limit
the
decline
in
net
assets
over
various
periods
of
time.
In
the
event
of
default
or
early
termination,
the
ISDA
master
agreement
gives
the
non-defaulting
party
the
right
to
net
and
close-out
all
transactions
traded,
whether
or
not
arising
under
the
ISDA
agreement,
to
one
net
amount
payable
by
one
counterparty
to
the
other.
However,
absent
an
event
of
default
or
early
termination,
OTC
derivative
assets
and
liabilities
are
presented
gross
and
not
offset
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Early
termination
by
the
counterparty
may
result
in
an
immediate
payment
by
the
Fund
of
any
net
liability
owed
to
that
counterparty
under
the
ISDA
agreement.
Collateral
requirements
differ
by
type
of
derivative.
Collateral
terms
are
contract
specific
for
OTC
derivatives.
For
OTC
derivatives
traded
under
an
ISDA
master
agreement,
posting
of
collateral
is
required
by
either
the
Fund
or
the
applicable
counterparty
if
the
total
net
exposure
of
all
OTC
derivatives
with
the
applicable
counterparty
exceeds
the
minimum
transfer
amount,
which
typically
ranges
from
$100,000
to
$250,000,
and
can
vary
depending
on
the
counterparty
and
the
type
of
agreement.
Generally,
collateral
is
determined
at
the
close
of
Fund
business
each
day
and
any
additional
collateral
required
due
to
changes
in
derivative
values
may
be
delivered
by
the
Fund
or
the
counterparty
the
next
business
day,
or
within
a
few
business
days.
Collateral
pledged
and/or
received
by
the
Fund,
if
any,
is
held
in
segregated
accounts
with
the
Fund’s
custodian/counterparty
broker
and
can
be
in
the
form
of
cash
and/or
securities.
Unrestricted
cash
may
be
invested
according
to
the
Fund's
investment
objectives.
To
the
extent
that
the
amounts
due
to
the
Fund
from
its
counterparties
are
not
subject
to
collateralization
or
are
not
fully
collateralized,
the
Fund
bears
the
risk
of
loss
from
counterparty
non-performance.

Fund
(continued)
The
Fund entered
into
OTC
forward
exchange
contracts
primarily
to
manage
and/or
gain
exposure
to
certain
foreign
currencies.
A
forward
exchange
contract
is
an
agreement
between
the
Fund
and
a
counterparty
to
buy
or
sell
a
foreign
currency at
a
specific
exchange
rate
on
a
future
date.
The
Fund
purchased
or
wrote
OTC
option
contracts
primarily
to
manage
and/or
gain
exposure
to
foreign
exchange
rate
risk.
An
option
is
a
contract
entitling
the
holder
to
purchase
or
sell
a
specific
amount
of
shares
or
units
of
an
asset
or
notional
amount
of
a
swap
(swaption),
at
a
specified
price.
When
an
option
is
purchased
or
written,
an
amount
equal
to
the
premium
paid
or
received
is
recorded
as
an
asset
or
liability,
respectively.
Upon
exercise
of
an
option,
the
acquisition
cost
or
sales
proceeds
of
the
underlying
investment
is
adjusted
by
any
premium
received
or
paid.
Upon
expiration
of
an
option,
any
premium
received
or
paid
is
recorded
as
a
realized
gain
or
loss.
Upon
closing
an
option
other
than
through
expiration
or
exercise,
the
difference
between
the
premium
received
or
paid
and
the
cost
to
close
the
position
is
recorded
as
a
realized
gain
or
loss.
See
Note
10
regarding
other
derivative
information.
d.
Restricted
Cash
At
December
31,
2021, the
Fund
held
restricted
cash
in
connection
with
investments
in
certain
derivative
securities.
Restricted
cash
is
held
in
a
segregated
account
with
the
Fund’s
custodian
and
is
reflected
in
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
e.
Restricted
Currency
At
December
31,
2021,
the
Fund
held
currencies
in
certain
markets
in
which
the
ability
to
repatriate
such
currency
is
limited.
As
a
result
of
such
limitations
on
repatriation,
the
Fund
may
incur
substantial
delays
in
gaining
access
to
these
assets
and
may
be
exposed
to
potential
adverse
movements
in
currency
value.
f.
Income
and
Deferred
Taxes
It
is the Fund's
policy
to
qualify
as
a
regulated
investment
company
under
the
Internal
Revenue
Code. The Fund
intends
to
distribute
to
shareholders
substantially
all
of
its
taxable
income
and
net
realized
gains
to
relieve
it
from
federal
income
and excise
taxes.
As
a
result,
no
provision
for
U.S.
federal
income
taxes
is
required.
The Fund
may
be
subject
to
foreign
taxation
related
to
income
received,
capital
gains
on
the
sale
of
securities
and
certain
foreign
currency
transactions
in
the
foreign
jurisdictions
in
which
it
invests.
Foreign
taxes,
if
any,
are
recorded
based
on
the
tax
regulations
and
rates
that
exist
in
the
foreign
markets
in
which
the
Fund
invests.
When
a
capital
gain
tax
is
determined
to
apply,
the
Fund
records
an
estimated
deferred
tax
liability
in
an
amount
that
would
be
payable
if
the
securities
were
disposed
of
on
the
valuation
date.
The
Fund
may
recognize
an
income
tax
liability
related
to
its
uncertain
tax
positions
under
U.S.
GAAP
when
the
uncertain
tax
position
has
a
less
than
50%
probability
that
it
will
be
sustained
upon
examination
by
the
tax
authorities
based
on
its
technical
merits.
As
of
December
31,
2021,
the
Fund
has
determined
that
no
tax
liability
is
required
in
its
financial
statements
related
to
uncertain
tax
positions
for
any
open
tax
years
(or
expected
to
be
taken
in
future
tax
years).
Open
tax
years
are
those
that
remain
subject
to
examination
and
are
based
on
the
statute
of
limitations
in
each
jurisdiction
in
which
the
Fund
invests. 
g.
Security
Transactions,
Investment
Income,
Expenses
and
Distributions
Security
transactions
are
accounted
for
on
trade
date.
Realized
gains
and
losses
on
security
transactions
are
determined
on
a
specific
identification
basis.
Interest
income
and
estimated
expenses
are
accrued
daily.
Amortization
of
premium
and
accretion
of
discount
on
debt
securities
are
included
in
interest
income.
Dividend
income
is
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Distributions
to
shareholders
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Distributable
earnings
are
determined
according
to
income
tax
regulations
(tax
basis)
and
may
differ
from
earnings
recorded
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP.
These
differences
may
be
permanent
or
temporary.
Permanent
differences
are
reclassified
among
capital
accounts
to
reflect
their
tax
character.
These
reclassifications
have
no
impact
on
net
assets
or
the
results
of
operations.
Temporary
differences
are
not
reclassified,
as
they
may
reverse
in
subsequent
periods.
Common
expenses
incurred
by
the
Trust
are
allocated
among
the
Funds
based
on
the
ratio
of
net
assets
of
each
Fund
to
the
combined
net
assets
of
the
Trust

h.
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation
of
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP
requires
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements
and
the
amounts
of
income
and
expenses
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
i.
Guarantees
and
Indemnifications
Under
the
Trust's
organizational
documents,
its
officers
and
trustees
are
indemnified
by
the
Trust
against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to
the
Trust.
Additionally,
in
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Trust,
on
behalf
of
the
Fund,
enters
into
contracts
with
service
providers
that
contain
general
indemnification
clauses.
The
Trust's
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
as
this
would
involve
future
claims
that
may
be
made
against
the
Trust
that
have
not
yet
occurred.
Currently,
the
Trust
expects
the
risk
of
loss
to
be
remote.

Credit
Facility
The
Fund,
together
with
other
U.S.
registered
and
foreign
investment
funds
(collectively,
Borrowers),
managed
by
Franklin
Templeton,
are
borrowers
in
a
joint
syndicated
senior
unsecured
credit
facility
totaling
$2.675
billion
(Global
Credit
Facility)
which
matured
on
February
4,
2022.
This
Global
Credit
Facility
provides
a
source
of
funds
to
the
Borrowers
for
temporary
and
emergency
purposes,
including
the
ability
to
meet
future
unanticipated
or
unusually
large
redemption
requests.
Effective
February
4,
2022,
the
Borrowers
renewed
the
Global
Credit
Facility
for
a
one-year
term,
maturing
February
3,
2023,
for
a
total
of
$2.675
billion.
Under
the
terms
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility,
the
Fund
shall,
in
addition
to
interest
charged
on
any
borrowings
made
by
the
Fund
and
other
costs
incurred
by
the
Fund,
pay
its
share
of
fees
and
expenses
incurred
in
connection
with
the
implementation
and
maintenance
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility,
based
upon
its
relative
share
of
the
aggregate
net
assets
of
all
of
the
Borrowers,
including
an
annual
commitment
fee
of
0.15%
based
upon
the
unused
portion
of
the
Global
Credit
Facility.
These
fees
are
reflected
in
other
expenses
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
During
the

Fair
Value
Measurements
The
Fund
follows
a
fair
value
hierarchy
that
distinguishes
between
market
data
obtained
from
independent
sources
(observable
inputs)
and
the Fund's
own
market
assumptions
(unobservable
inputs).
These
inputs
are
used
in
determining
the
value
of
the
Fund's financial
instruments
and
are
summarized
in
the
following
fair
value
hierarchy:
Level
1
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
financial
instruments
Level
2
other
significant
observable
inputs
(including
quoted
prices
for
similar
financial
instruments,
interest
rates,
prepayment
speed,
credit
risk,
etc.)
Level
3
significant
unobservable
inputs
(including
the
Fund's
own
assumptions
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments)
The
input
levels
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
or
liquidity
associated
with
financial
instruments
at
that
level.
A
summary
of
inputs
used
as
of
December
31,
2021,
in
valuing
the
Fund's
assets
and
liabilities
carried
at
fair
value,
is
as
follows:

Facilitation

the
Effects

In
January
2021,
the
FASB
issued
ASU
No.
2021-01,
with
further
amendments
to
Topic
848.
The
amendments
in
the
ASUs
provide
optional
temporary
accounting
recognition
and financial
reporting
relief
from
the
effect
of
certain
types
of
contract
modifications
due
to
the
planned
discontinuation
of
the
London
Interbank
Offered
Rate
(LIBOR)
and
other
interbank-offered
based
reference
rates
as
of
the
end
of
2021
for
certain
LIBOR
settings
and
2023
for
the
remainder. The
ASUs
are
effective
for
certain
reference
rate-related
contract
modifications
that
occur
during
the
period
March
12,
2020
through
December
31,
2022.
Management
has
reviewed
the
requirements
and
believes
the
adoption
of
these
ASUs
will
not
have
a
material
impact
on
the
financial
statements.

Opinion
on
the
Financial
Statements
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statement
of
assets
and
liabilities,
including
the
statement
of
investments,
of
Templeton
International
Bond
Fund
(one
of
the
funds
constituting
Templeton
Income
Trust,
referred
to
hereafter
as
the
"Fund")
as
of
December
31,
2021,
the
related
statement
of
operations
for
the
year
ended
December
31,
2021,
the
statement
of
changes
in
net
assets
for
each
of
the
two
years
in
the
period
ended
December
31,
2021,
including
the
related
notes,
and
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
periods
indicated
therein
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
“financial
statements”).
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Fund
as
of
December
31,
2021,
the
results
of
its
operations
for
the
year
then
ended,
the
changes
in
its
net
assets
for
each
of
the
two
years
in
the
period
ended
December
31,
2021
and
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
periods
indicated
therein
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America.
Basis
for
Opinion
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Fund’s
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Fund’s
financial
statements
based
on
our
audits.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(PCAOB)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Fund
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audits
of
these
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
audits
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
December
31,
2021
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian,
transfer
agent
and
brokers;
when
replies
were
not
received
from
brokers,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.

The
Sarbanes-Oxley
Act
of
2002
and
Rules
adopted
by
the
U.S.
Securities

Exchange
Commission
require
the
Fund
to
disclose
whether

Committee
includes
at
least
one
member
who
is
an
audit
committee
financial
expert
within
the
meaning
of
such
Act
and
Rules.
The
Fund’s
Board
has
determined
that
there
is
at
least
one
such
financial
expert
on
the
Audit
Committee
and
has
designated
each

expert.
The
Board
believes
that
Ms.

qualify
as
such
an
expert
in
view
of
their
extensive
business
background
and
experience.

served
as
a
member
of
the

since

The Registrant maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Registrant’s filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Investment Company Act of 1940 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Registrant’s management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, recognizes that any set of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Within 90 days prior to the filing date of this Shareholder Report on Form N-CSRS, the Registrant had carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Registrant’s management, including the Registrant’s principal executive officer and the Registrant’s principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, the Registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
(b) Changes in Internal Controls.
There have been no changes in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect the internal control over financial reporting.
