GLOBAL FINTECH THROUGH SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT METRICS: A DATA DRIVEN DECISION METRICS

Abstract

This project explores the contribution of fintech to global sustainability, with a particular emphasis on the role of digital financial innovations in economic, social, and environmental outcomes. As the world begins to take the problem of financial inequality and environmental degradation more seriously, fintech has become a possible instrument that can be used to foster inclusive and sustainable development. This study aims to empirically investigate how the adoption of fintech, green financial awareness, digital financial inclusion, and sustainable fintech practices influence the global sustainability outcomes.It employed a primary quantitative method and data were gathered by way of an online survey of 210 participants of varying backgrounds. The correlation and multiple regression were used to determine the relationship between the variables using SPSS. The results indicated that the variables of fintech were all positively correlated with the outcomes of sustainability. Nevertheless, sustainable fintech practices and digital financial inclusion turned out to be the most prominent predictors, whereas fintech adoption and green financial awareness representing independent effects were less strong. The article emphasizes that fintech has the best contribution towards sustainability when it is inclusive and incorporates the use of environmentally friendly practices. The results indicate that sustainable fintech innovations and promoting digital access to financial services by policymakers and financial institutions must be prioritized in achieving balanced and inclusive global development.
