Risk has to be taken into account. Just pure returns is quite useless. It could be that Indonesia faced significant political risk - remember bombing of marriot/bali, currency risk, inflation risk? No idea about size of Indian market but Indonesia has a tiny stockmarket.

Mr A, tells you he had business plan that can give you 10000 percent return. Sounds very good. But the business is in smuggling drugs into Singapore and the risk is your life! Without weighing risk you only get 1 side of picture.

Best indication of return to investor is to look at MNC making long term FDI investments. Long term FDI factors in political risk, market potential, taxes, corruption etc etc. After all no MNC is going to put in $1B of fixed assets (cannot be taken out of the country unlike stocks which can be liquidated at moment's notices) into a country if the calculations are not carefully made.
