PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON FEBRUARY 17, 2000

------------------------

This statement is furnished to the shareholders of Global High Income
Dollar Fund Inc. ('Fund') in connection with the board of directors'
solicitation of proxies to be used at the annual meeting of the shareholders of
the Fund to be held on February 17, 2000, or any adjournment or adjournments
thereof. This proxy statement and the related proxy card will first be mailed to
shareholders on or about December 30, 1999.

A majority of the shares outstanding on December 17, 1999, represented in
person or by proxy, must be present for the transaction of business at the
meeting. In the event that a quorum is not present at the annual meeting, or if
a quorum is present at the annual meeting but sufficient votes to approve any of
the proposals are not received, the persons named as proxies may propose one or
more adjournments of the annual meeting to permit further solicitation of
proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of
those shares represented at the annual meeting in person or by proxy. The
persons named as proxies will vote those proxies which they are entitled to vote
FOR any such proposal in favor of such an adjournment, and will vote those
proxies required to be voted AGAINST any such proposal against such adjournment.
A shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the proposals in this proxy
statement prior to any such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received
and it is otherwise appropriate.

Broker non-votes are shares held in street name for which the broker
indicates that instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or
other persons entitled to vote and for which the broker does not have
discretionary voting authority. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted
as shares present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present but
will not be voted for or against any adjournment or proposal. Accordingly,
abstentions and broker non-votes effectively will be a vote against adjournment
but will have no effect on Proposals 1 and 2, for which the required vote is a
plurality and majority, respectively, of the votes cast.

The individuals named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card will vote in
accordance with your direction as indicated thereon if your proxy card is
received properly executed by you or by your duly appointed agent or
attorney-in-fact. If you give no voting instructions, your shares will be voted
FOR the ten nominees for directors named herein and FOR the remaining proposals
described in this proxy statement. You may revoke any proxy card by giving
another proxy or by letter or telegram revoking the initial proxy. To be
effective, your revocation must be received by the Fund prior to the meeting and
must indicate your name and account number. In addition, if you attend the
meeting in person you may, if you wish, vote by ballot at the meeting, thereby
cancelling any proxy previously given.

As of the record date, December 17, 1999, the Fund had 20,736,667 shares of
common stock outstanding. The solicitation of proxies, the cost of which will be
borne by the Fund, will be made primarily by mail but also may include telephone
or oral communications by regular employees of Mitchell Hutchins Asset
Management Inc. ('Mitchell Hutchins') or PaineWebber Incorporated
('PaineWebber'), who will not receive any compensation therefor from the Fund.
Management does not know of any person who owns

beneficially 5% or more of the shares of the Fund. Each full share of the Fund
outstanding is entitled to one vote and each fractional share of the Fund
outstanding is entitled to a proportionate share of one vote.

Mitchell Hutchins serves as the Fund's investment adviser and
administrator. Mitchell Hutchins is a wholly owned asset management subsidiary
of PaineWebber, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Paine Webber Group Inc.
('PW Group'), a publicly held financial services holding company. The principal
business address of each of PaineWebber and PW Group is 1285 Avenue of the
Americas, New York, New York 10019-6028. The principal business address of
Mitchell Hutchins is 51 West 52nd Street, New York, New York 10019-6114.

The Fund's annual report containing financial statements for the fiscal
year ended October 31, 1999, is being mailed to shareholders concurrently with
this proxy statement.

PROPOSAL 1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Proposal 1 relates to the election of directors of the Fund. Management
proposes the election of the ten nominees named in the table below. Each
nominee, including those who are not 'interested persons' of the Fund as that
term is defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940 ('1940 Act') ('Independent
Directors'), has indicated his or her willingness to serve if elected. If
elected, each nominee will hold office until the next annual meeting of
shareholders or until his or her successor is elected and qualified. Unless you
give contrary instructions on the enclosed proxy card, your shares will be voted
FOR the election of the ten nominees. If any of the nominees should withdraw or
otherwise become unavailable for election, your shares will be voted FOR such
other nominee or nominees as management may recommend.

Mr. Bewkes has served as a director from the Fund's inception except for a
brief period in 1993. Messrs. Armstrong and Burt have served as directors of the
Fund since February 16, 1995. Other than Mr. Storms, each of the other remaining
directors was first elected to the board on April 11, 1996. On May 13, 1999, the
board increased the number of board members to ten and appointed Mr. Storms to
fill the vacancy created by the expansion. Directors shall be elected by the
affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast for the election of directors,
present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, provided a quorum is
present. If each of the ten nominees is elected, they will constitute the entire
board of directors of the Fund. None of the current directors and executive
officers (21 persons) beneficially owned any shares of the Fund on November 30,
1999.

positions with Mitchell Hutchins, PaineWebber and/or PW Group.

** Unless otherwise stated, as of the date indicated, each director had sole
voting and investment power of any shares owned.

The board of directors of the Fund met six times during the fiscal year
ended October 31, 1999. Each of the directors attended 75% or more of the board
meetings during the last fiscal year. The Audit and Contract Review Committee
('ACR Committee') of the board currently consists of Messrs. Armstrong, Burt,
Feldberg, Gowen, Malek and Schafer. The ACR Committee has established a
sub-committee that periodically reviews the contractual and audit arrangements
for the Fund and reports back to the full ACR Committee. Messrs. Burt, Feldberg
and Schafer are members of this sub-committee. Each member of the Fund's ACR
Committee is also a member of a similar committee established by the boards of
other investment companies for which Mitchell Hutchins or PaineWebber serves as
investment adviser and also may be a member of a sub-committee established by
another fund's audit and contract review committee. The duties of the ACR
Committee are: (a) to review the financial and accounting policies of the Fund,
including internal accounting control procedures, and to review reports prepared
by the Fund's independent accountants, including reports on the Fund's financial
statements; (b) to review and recommend approval or disapproval of audit and
non-audit services and the fees charged for such services; (c) to evaluate the
independence of the independent accountants and to recommend whether to retain
such independent accountants for the next fiscal year; and (d) to report to the
board and make such recommendations as it deems necessary. The ACR Committee and
the related sub-committee each met once during the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1999. Each member of the ACR Committee and sub-committee attended
those meetings.

The board does not have a standing nominating or compensation committee.
The Fund pays the Independent Directors $1,000 annually and up to $150 for each
board meeting and for each separate meeting of a board committee. The chairmen
of the audit and contract review committees of individual funds within the
PaineWebber fund complex each receive additional compensation aggregating
$15,000 annually from the relevant funds. Directors of the Fund who are
'interested persons' as defined in the 1940 Act receive no compensation from the
Fund. Directors are reimbursed for any expenses incurred in attending meetings.
Each director will be subject to mandatory retirement at the end of the year in
which he or she becomes 72 years old. The board has waived this requirement with
respect to Mr. Bewkes for the next year. The table below includes certain
information relating to the compensation of the Fund's directors.

bonus, pension, profit sharing or retirement plan.

PROPOSAL 2. RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

The Fund's financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999,
were audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ('PricewaterhouseCoopers'),
independent accountants. In addition, PricewaterhouseCoopers prepares the Fund's
federal and state annual income tax returns.

The board of directors of the Fund has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers as
the independent accountants for the Fund for the fiscal year ending October 31,
2000, subject to ratification by shareholders of the Fund at the annual meeting.
PricewaterhouseCoopers has been the Fund's independent accountants since its
inception in October 1993. The ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers as
independent accountants is to be voted upon at the annual meeting, and it is
intended that the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote FOR such
ratification unless contrary instructions are given. PricewaterhouseCoopers has
informed the Fund that it has no material direct or indirect financial interest
in the Fund. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of
the Fund cast at the annual meeting is required for ratification, provided a
quorum is present.

Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers are not expected to be present at
the meeting but have been given the opportunity to make a statement if they so
desire and will be available should any matter arise requiring their presence.
