last year was the year to be invested

English term or phrase: last year was the year to be invested
UNFORTUNATELY for investors into eastern Europe, last year was the year to be invested. Driven by accession to the European Union, markets rocketed by as much as 110 per cent in the case of Slovakia. Investors rushed to exploit convergence plays, and local currencies appreciated on the back of massive capital inflows of Western cash.
注：文章背景是指2004年欧洲投资市场一片红火，而2005年却好景不再。文章中的last year应当指2004年

neutral  Bill Lao: 写文章或翻译文章要简洁、明了，切忌啰嗦。用“去年是投资年”较简洁。

  -> 用于要简洁，但前提一定是将原文含义（包括隐含含义）表达出来，在两者之间取得平衡。当然不同人对译文要求不一。
