AbstractSeeking investment opportunities, foreign investors today face difficulties in assessing the political, social and economic situation to classify the country risks and any kind of risks possibly related to their business in Vietnam. This study aims to highlight main aspects influencing the risk-return analysis in project financing. The research is carried out on the basis of the fundamentals of risks identification and the application of methods dealing with risks. Together with focusing on property business, data collection was conducted from secondary sources, in-depth interviews concerning two projects, direct and indirect interviews in some financial institutions. All visits were realized in Hanoi capital. The research revealed that most foreign investors assume risks arising from the country's legal infrastructure, especially laws on foreign investment and land. Problems with credit risk assessment and less developed banking system have been placing constraints against capital mobilization, which has certain effects on the financing of both foreign and domestic investments. Based on specific characteristics of risks inherent in projects, this study proposes a riskreturn analysis model which should be used as a guideline for decision makers in financing decisions, who want to minimize risks and expect maximum benefit from their investments in the country being in the transition phase to a market-oriented economy.
