capital internacional


Explanation:
What English tends to call "domestic and foreign", Spanish calls "nacional e internacional". See, for example my question http://www.proz.com/kudoz/130303
where I referred to a source text that contained the phrase "empresas de capital nacional y/o internacional".

capitales extranjeros


Explanation:
Una mera cuestión de estilo, pero creo que necesariamente el término tiene que ir en plural. No así direct investment.
Suerte.
