1 SEMIANNual REPORT November 30, 2017 PRRXX TTGXX T. Rowe Price Government Money Fund Government Money Fund I Class The fund invests in high-quality, short-term U.S. government securities for capital preservation and current income.

2 HIGHLIGHTS Money market yields increased in the six-month period ended November 30, The Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates in June and again in December, immediately after our reporting period ended. Your fund outperformed its benchmark, the Lipper U.S. Government Money Market Funds Index, in the first half of our fiscal year. With rising rates and increased T-bill supply expected in 2018, we are shortening our weighted average maturity somewhat. We expect the Fed to continue its cautious, methodical approach to raising rates in The central bank currently projects that it will raise rates three times in The views and opinions in this report were current as of November 30, They are not guarantees of performance or investment results and should not be taken as investment advice.

3 Manager s Letter Fellow Shareholders Money market yields increased in the six-month period ended November 30, Citing the strengthening labor market and expectations that inflation would move higher over the medium term, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates in June, lifting the federal funds target rate to the 1.00% 1.25% range. (On December 13, immediately after our reporting period ended, the central bank raised rates again, bringing the fed funds target rate to the 1.25% 1.50% range.) With the Fed also beginning the important process of slowly unwinding its $4.5 trillion balance sheet in October a legacy of its massive purchases of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis we seem to be firmly past the long period of near-zero returns for money market investors. Performance Comparison Six-Month Period Ended 11/30/17 Total Return Government Money Fund 0.33% Government Money Fund I Class 0.39 Lipper U.S. Government Money Market Funds Index 0.24 Your fund returned 0.33% in the first half of our fiscal year. As shown in the Performance Comparison table, the fund outperformed its benchmark, the Lipper U.S. Government Money Market Funds Index. Performance for the fund s I Class shares will vary due to a different fee structure. 1

4 2.4% ECONOMY AND INTEREST RATES Interest Rate Levels 6-Month Treasury Bill 90-Day Treasury Bill Fed Funds Target Rate 11/30/16 2/17 5/17 8/17 11/30/17 Sources: Federal Reserve Board and J.P. Morgan The U.S. economy has picked up from the first quarter s 1.2% growth rate, with gross domestic product increasing at an annualized rate of 3.1% and 3.3% in the second and third quarters, respectively. The labor market has been healthy, with the national unemployment rate dipping to a 17-year low of 4.1% at the end of our reporting period. Inflation data have recently shown signs of normalizing after very weak readings earlier in PORTFOLIO REVIEW The continued strong demand for Treasuries and other U.S. government obligations drove prices higher (and yields lower) for these securities relative to other asset classes, but absolute yield levels did rise. Threemonth Treasury bill yields increased from 0.98% at the end of May 2017 to 1.27% at the end of November, while six-month T-bill yields increased from 1.08% to 1.44%. Yields for one-year Treasury bills moved from 1.17% to 1.62% over the same period. The overwhelming demand for these high-quality investments kept the short-maturity end of the Treasury yield curve very flat over the summer. However, the improving economic picture led to a steepening curve, as longer-maturity yields have increased more than shorter-maturity yields. 2

Rowe Price Associates, Inc., has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in order to limit the fund s management fee to 0.25% of the fund s average daily net assets. Details are available in the fund s prospectus. As a government money fund, the portfolio is required to invest almost exclusively in T-bills and other U.S. government securities. Of course, the fund is not subject to the liquidity fees and redemption restrictions (also known as gates ) that may be applied to nongovernment money funds during times of severe redemption activity. At the end of November, approximately 39% of fund assets were invested in Treasury bills and notes, while other U.S. government and agency securities represented about 24%. Repurchase agreements accounted for 37% of assets. 3

Repurchase Agreements 37% U.S. Treasury Bills 29% OUTLOOK Since the Fed began raising rates at the end of 2015, its actions have been well telegraphed, and the financial markets have taken its moves in stride. We expect this cautious, methodical approach to persist into The central bank currently projects that it will raise rates three times in With this forecast for rising rates and with expectations of increased T-bill supply in 2018, we are shortening our weighted average maturity somewhat, targeting an average between 30 and 40 days. As always, the fund strives to maintain a high degree of liquidity, and our focus remains on principal stability and high-quality investments. Thank you for investing with T. Rowe Price.

7 Risks of Investing in Government Money Market Funds You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time. Glossary Basis point: One one-hundredth of one percentage point, or 0.01%. Federal funds target rate: The interest rate charged on overnight loans of reserves by one financial institution to another in the United States. The Federal Reserve sets a target federal funds rate to affect the direction of interest rates. Gross domestic product: The total market value of all goods and services produced in a country in a given year. Lipper indexes: Fund benchmarks that consist of a small number (10 to 30) of the largest mutual funds in a particular category as tracked by Lipper Inc. Repurchase agreement (repo): A form of short-term borrowing using collateral in which a bank or broker-dealer sells government securities to another party, such as the Federal Reserve, and commits to buy them back at a fixed price on a future date, usually within a week. SEC yield (7-day simple): A method of calculating a money fund s yield by annualizing the fund s net investment income for the last seven days of each period divided by the fund s net asset value at the end of the period. Yield will vary and is not guaranteed. Weighted average life: A measure of a fund s credit quality risk. In general, the longer the average life, the greater the fund s credit quality risk. The average life is the dollarweighted average maturity of a portfolio s individual securities without taking into account interest rate readjustment dates. Money funds must maintain a weighted average life of less than 120 days. Weighted average maturity: A measure of a fund s interest rate sensitivity. In general, the longer the average maturity, the greater the fund s sensitivity to interest rate changes. The weighted average maturity may take into account the interest rate readjustment dates for certain securities. Money funds must maintain a weighted average maturity of less than 60 days. Yield curve: A graphic depiction of the relationship between yields and maturity dates for a set of similar securities. A security with a longer maturity usually has a higher yield. If a short-term security offers a higher yield, then the curve is said to be inverted. If shortand long-term bonds are offering equivalent yields, then the curve is said to be flat. 5

8 Performance and Expenses Growth of $10,000 This chart shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds lacking 10-year records). The result is compared with benchmarks, which may include a broad-based market index and a peer group average or index. Market indexes do not include expenses, which are deducted from fund returns as well as mutual fund averages and indexes.

See returns table below. Average Annual Compound Total Return Since Inception Periods Ended 11/30/17 1 Year 5 Years 10 Years Inception Date Government Money Fund 0.44% 0.10% 0.36% Government Money Fund I Class 0.43% 5/3/17 This table shows how the fund would have performed each year if its actual (or cumulative) returns for the periods shown had been earned at a constant rate. Returns do not reflect taxes that the shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Past performance cannot guarantee future results. 6

9 Fund Expense Example As a mutual fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the most recent six-month period and held for the entire period. Please note that the fund has two share classes: The original share class (Investor Class) charges no distribution and service (12b-1) fee, and the I Class shares are also available to institutionally oriented clients and impose no 12b-1 or administrative fee payment. Each share class is presented separately in the table. Actual Expenses The first line of the following table (Actual) provides information about actual account values and expenses based on the fund s actual returns. You may use the information on this line, together with your account balance, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes The information on the second line of the table (Hypothetical) is based on hypothetical account values and expenses derived from the fund s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the fund s actual return). You may compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. Note: T. Rowe Price charges an annual account service fee of $20, generally for accounts with less than $10,000. The fee is waived for any investor whose T. Rowe Price mutual fund accounts total $50,000 or more; accounts electing to receive electronic delivery of account statements, transaction confirmations, prospectuses, and shareholder reports; or accounts of an investor who is a T. Rowe Price Personal Services or Enhanced Personal Services client (enrollment in these programs generally requires T. Rowe Price assets of at least $250,000). This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds. You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. To the extent a fund charges transaction costs, however, the total cost of owning that fund is higher. 7

The annualized expense ratio of the Investor Class was 0.39%, and the I Class was 0.27%. 8

Yield and return will vary. For the most recent month-end performance, please visit our website (troweprice.com) or contact a T. Rowe Price representative at or, for I Class shares, This table provides returns through the most recent calendar quarter-end rather than through the end of the fund s fiscal period. It shows how the fund would have performed each year if its actual (or cumulative) returns for the periods shown had been earned at a constant rate. Average annual total return figures include reinvested dividends. Returns do not reflect taxes that the shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. When assessing performance, investors should consider both short- and long-term returns. A money fund s yield more closely represents its current earnings than does the total return. * Through September 30, 2019, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in order to limit the fund s management fee to 0.25% of the fund s average daily net assets. Details are available in the fund s prospectus. Expense Ratio Government Money Fund 0.44% Government Money Fund I Class 0.30 The expense ratio shown is as of the fund s fiscal year ended 5/31/17. This number may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, includes acquired fund fees and expenses but does not include fee or expense waivers. 9

23 Unaudited November 30, 2017 Notes to Financial Statements T. Rowe Price Government Money Fund, Inc. (the fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The fund seeks preservation of capital, liquidity, and, consistent with these, the highest possible current income. The fund intends to operate as a government money market fund and has no intention to voluntarily impose liquidity fees on redemptions or temporarily suspend redemptions. The fund has two classes of shares: the Government Money Fund (Investor Class) and the Government Money Fund I Class (I Class). I Class shares generally are available only to investors meeting a $1,000,000 minimum investment or certain other criteria. Each class has exclusive voting rights on matters related solely to that class; separate voting rights on matters that relate to both classes; and, in all other respects, the same rights and obligations as the other class. NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Preparation The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 (ASC 946). The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), including, but not limited to, ASC 946. GAAP requires the use of estimates made by management. Management believes that estimates and valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the valuations reflected in the accompanying financial statements may differ from the value ultimately realized upon sale or maturity. Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Distributions Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date basis. Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes. Paydown gains and losses are recorded as an adjustment to interest income. Income tax-related interest and penalties, if incurred, are recorded as income tax expense. Income distributions are declared by each class daily and paid monthly. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. A capital gain distribution may also be declared and paid by the fund annually. 21

24 Class Accounting Shareholder servicing, prospectus, and shareholder report expenses incurred by each class are charged directly to the class to which they relate. Expenses common to both classes and investment income are allocated to the classes based upon the relative daily net assets of each class s settled shares; realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated based upon the relative daily net assets of each class s outstanding shares. To the extent any expenses are waived or reimbursed in accordance with an expense limitation (see Note 5), the waiver or reimbursement is charged to the applicable class or allocated across the classes in the same manner as the related expense. New Accounting Guidance In March 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance to shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, Adoption will have no effect on the fund s net assets or results of operations. On August 1, 2017, the fund implemented amendments to Regulation S-X, issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which require standardized, enhanced disclosures, particularly related to derivatives, in investment company financial statements. Adoption had no effect on the fund s net assets or results of operations. Indemnification In the normal course of business, the fund may provide indemnification in connection with its officers and directors, service providers, and/or private company investments. The fund s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the risk of material loss is currently considered to be remote. NOTE 2 - VALUATION The fund s financial instruments are valued and its net asset value (NAV) per share is computed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. However, the NAV per share may be calculated at a time other than the normal close of the NYSE if trading on the NYSE is restricted, if the NYSE closes earlier, or as may be permitted by the SEC. The fund s financial instruments are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities other than financial instruments, including short-term receivables and payables, are carried at cost, or estimated realizable value, if less, which approximates fair value. The 22

25 T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee (the Valuation Committee) is an internal committee that has been delegated certain responsibilities by the fund s Board of Directors (the Board) to ensure that financial instruments are appropriately priced at fair value in accordance with GAAP and the 1940 Act. Subject to oversight by the Board, the Valuation Committee develops and oversees pricing-related policies and procedures, including the comparison of amortized cost to market-based value, and approves all fair value determinations. Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value: Level 1 quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the fund can access at the reporting date Level 2 inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads) Level 3 unobservable inputs Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgment used in determining those values. For example, securities held by a money market fund are generally high quality and liquid; however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value are not quoted prices in an active market. In accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, the fund values its securities at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Securities for which amortized cost is deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee. On November 30, 2017, all of the fund s financial instruments were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. 23

26 NOTE 3 - OTHER INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following practices to manage exposure to certain risks and/or to enhance performance. The investment objective, policies, program, and risk factors of the fund are described more fully in the fund s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. Repurchase Agreements The fund may engage in repurchase agreements, pursuant to which it pays cash to and receives securities from a counterparty that agrees to repurchase the securities at a specified time, typically within seven business days, for a specified price. The fund enters into such agreements with well-established securities dealers or banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System and are on Price Associates approved list. All repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. government or related agency securities, which are held by the custodian designated by the agreement. Collateral is evaluated daily to ensure that its market value exceeds the delivery value of the repurchase agreements at maturity. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the fund could experience a delay in recovering its value and a possible loss of income or value if the counterparty fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Mortgage-Backed Securities The fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities (MBS or pass-through certificates) that represent an interest in a pool of specific underlying mortgage loans and entitle the fund to the periodic payments of principal and interest from those mortgages. MBS may be issued by government agencies or corporations, or private issuers. Most MBS issued by government agencies are guaranteed; however, the degree of protection differs based on the issuer. MBS are sensitive to changes in economic conditions that affect the rate of prepayments and defaults on the underlying mortgages; accordingly, the value, income, and related cash flows from MBS may be more volatile than other debt instruments. NOTE 4 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income and gains. Distributions determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records 24

27 are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are not adjusted for temporary differences. The amount and character of tax-basis distributions and composition of net assets are finalized at fiscal year-end; accordingly, tax-basis balances have not been determined as of the date of this report. The fund intends to retain realized gains to the extent of available capital loss carryforwards. Net realized capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future realized capital gains. As of May 31, 2017, the fund had $33,000 of available capital loss carryforwards. At November 30, 2017, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $8,601,957,000. NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates), a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (Price Group). The investment management agreement between the fund and Price Associates provides for an annual investment management fee, which is computed daily and paid monthly. The fee is determined by applying a group fee rate to the fund s average daily net assets. The group fee rate is calculated based on the combined net assets of certain mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates (the group) applied to a graduated fee schedule, with rates ranging from 0.48% for the first $1 billion of assets to 0.265% for assets in excess of $650 billion. Price Associates agreed to reduce the fund s annual investment management fee to 0.25% through September 30, This contractual arrangement will renew automatically for one-year terms thereafter and may be revised, revoked, or terminated only with approval of the fund s Board. The fund has no obligation to repay fees reduced under this arrangement. At November 30, 2017, the effective annual group fee rate was 0.29%. The I Class is subject to an operating expense limitation (I Class limit) pursuant to which Price Associates is contractually required to pay all operating expenses of the I Class, excluding management fees, interest, expenses related to borrowings, taxes, brokerage, and other non-recurring expenses permitted by the investment management agreement, to the extent such operating expenses, on an annualized basis, exceed 0.05% of average net assets. This agreement will continue until September 30, 2019, and may be renewed, revised, or revoked only with approval of the fund s Board. The I Class is required to repay Price 25

28 Associates for expenses previously paid to the extent the class s net assets grow or expenses decline sufficiently to allow repayment without causing the class s operating expenses (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed both: (1) the expense limitation in place at the time such amounts were paid; and (2) the class s current expense limitation. However, no repayment will be made more than three years after the date of a payment or waiver. For the six months ended November 30, 2017, the I Class operated below its expense limitation. In addition, the fund has entered into service agreements with Price Associates and two wholly owned subsidiaries of Price Associates (collectively, Price). Price Associates provides certain accounting and administrative services to the fund. T.
