Strengthening Regulatory Frameworks for Fintech-Driven Green Growth Initiative

New research examines whether disruptive financial technology (DFT) and modern Belt and Road (MBR) spillovers are associated with green development (GD) and net-zero pathways across 148 Belt and Road economies from 2004 to 2023. Using advanced panel econometric methods, the study finds that DFT and MBR spillovers generally show positive associations with GD, while their interaction is positive for the full panel and Europe but negative for Asia and Africa. The results suggest that the green benefits of digital finance depend on regulatory frameworks, digital readiness and project governance.
