Monitoring COVID-19 Impact on Firms World Bank Group This excel file presents key indicators of the High-Frequency Survey with Firms (HFPS-F) in Addis Ababa. The file is updated after every survey round (8 rounds in total) and only includes firms that were interviewed in all rounds. The indicators thus are readily comparable across rounds as they concern the same firms, with some exceptions as explained by the notes under the tables.
