MACQUARIE GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE TOTAL RETURN FUND DECLARES REGULAR QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTION

NEW YORK, March 12, 2008 – Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. (NYSE: MGU) (the “Fund”) yesterday declared its regular quarterly distribution for the period ending March 31, 2008 of $0.40 per share.

Based on the Fund’s net asset value of $26.96 and New York Stock Exchange closing price of $24.14 on March 10, 2008, the $0.40 per share distribution is equal to an annualized distribution rate of 5.93% at NAV and 6.63% at market price respectively. 

The $0.40 per share quarterly distribution reflects a distribution policy of the Fund intended to provide shareholders with a relatively stable cash flow.  This policy may be changed or discontinued without notice to investors.

Mr. Jon Fitch, Portfolio Manager of the Fund, said: “While global equity markets have recently declined, the performance of the MGU NAV relative to global equity market indices has been solid.  The Manager believes the defensive and predictable return characteristics evident in many infrastructure businesses has assisted relative performance during a period of increased uncertainty in the market.  Furthermore, the MGU portfolio is currency unhedged and is therefore a beneficiary of the US dollar’s recent weakness.” 

A portion of the distributions may be treated as paid from sources other than net income, including but not limited to short-term capital gain, long-term capital gain and return of capital. The final determination of the source of all distributions in 2008, including the percentage of qualified dividend income, will be made by the Fund after December 31, 2008.

This distribution will be payable on March 31, 2008 to shareholders of record on March 25, 2008, with an ex-dividend date of March 20, 2008.
