Moreover, five factors were found to be significantly associated with the firm performance. An important implication of the findings is that government and garment associations can get an important insights into the factors that are critical to the investment climate and accordingly take necessary steps to arrange better utilities provide sound governance, improve credit facilities, ensure a favorable trade union together with other infrastructural facilities that require for creating better investment climate for both the EPZ and non-EPZ firms.
