Strategic insights: evaluating SDG 4, SDG 8, SDG 9 and SDG 16 in driving sustainable growth in the global FinTech landscape

What is it about?

This research aims to define the sustainable development of the global FinTech industry through a strategic lens, utilizing empirical analysis to evaluate the influence of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their indicators. Using Multi-criteria Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) in quantitative empirical research, key findings reveal that SDGs 9, 4, 8, and 16 play pivotal roles in the FinTech industry's sustainable growth. Unrestricted public FinTech access and an educated working-age population are identified as crucial factors. Northern European countries, particularly Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden, demonstrate superior sustainable development outcomes. The study sparks a scientific discourse on FinTech sustainable development and offers actionable insights for policymakers at national and international levels.
