Hey Shaz, two things here.
1. "Offshoring" is not a word.
2. "Offshore" can mean a foreign country, especially when talking about money.
Hope this helps.
PS: deepa, you're right given the literal meaning of offshore.

Deepa,
I don't know the context of the sentence, not that it is a sentence, but it could refer to offshore (foreign) investments.

There are two common meanings for the word offshore. Literally, offshore means off or away from the shore. The Channel Islands are offshore from England and France; while Vanuatu is offshore from Australia.
