Abstract

Digital financial inclusion has emerged as a key driver of economic growth in emerging economies by expanding access to financial services, reducing transaction costs, and improving resource allocation. This study empirically examines the relationship between digital financial inclusion and economic growth using macroeconomic and financial access indicators across selected emerging economies. Panel data analysis over a five-year period reveals a positive and statistically significant association between increased digital financial access and GDP growth, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The findings highlight the role of digital finance as an enabler of inclusive and sustainable economic development
