| fremdes Kapital anlocken und binden to attract and secure foreign capital Explanation: My suggested translation is kind of a mixture of the other two suggestions. The answer to your question is: "to secure (foreign) capital" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs 36 mins (2004-06-26 00:05:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Other synonyms for \"secure\" as used in the sense of \"retention\" (as here) are: Withhold, detain; hold back, keep back; keep close; husband; (store); reserve; have in stock, have on hand, keep in stock; (possess); entail, tie up, settle. |

"to attract long-term foreign investment" Explanation: if it suits the context. Or "to attract foreign capital and keep it there" "tie/secure foreign capital" sounds a bit strange to me. |
