当前，国内很多银行正表现出拓展海外业务的决心，这也符合目前中国将更多的钱用以海外投资的趋势。 这一发展趋势是跟随着近期的世界经济危机而来，并且存在于欧元区的动荡之中，此时很多大型的西方银行根本无法保证拥有足够的资金储备。

请看相关英文报道：  

In keeping with China's trend of putting more money into outbound investment, Chinese bankers are showing a resolve to expand their businesses overseas.
The move in that direction comes following the recent world financial crises and in the midst of turmoil in the eurozone, when many large Western banks are having difficulties ensuring they have adequate stores of capital.

【解析】

上述报道中的"outbound investment"就是“海外投资”的意思。此外，要表达这个意思，常用的还有"overseas investment"。文中的"stores of capital"是指“资金储备”。

例句：

Owing to our "going global" strategy, outbound investment, construction contracts for overseas projects and labor cooperation programs kept growing. 
实施“走出去”战略，对外投资、工程承包和劳务合作不断扩大。

The Industry Department promotes and facilitates overseas investment in the industries of Hong Kong. 
（香港）工业署推动并协助本港各行业的海外投资。
