“Hong Kong is set to announce on Monday a new batch of “strategic enterprises” establishing a presence in the city, including several firms with market capitalisations of up to HK$100 billion (US$12.8 billion), the finance chief has revealed.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim specifies an announcement date ('Monday') and a specific financial figure (up to HK$100 billion) that is not corroborated by the provided web search results or Wikipedia entries.
