Bus/Financial - History
French term or phrase: Baisser leurs volets
La Seconde Guerre Mondiale brisera cet élan alors que s'installe l'occupant allemand: toutes affaires cessantes, les banques établies à Luxembourg sont obligées de **baisser leurs volets** - les capitaux disponibles reprenant, une fois de plus, le chemin de l'Allemagne.


Me imagino que es en sentido figurado, a ver si podéis ayudarme.

Gracias a todos de antemano
