Abstract

In recent times, China's economy has experienced a favorable trajectory, although it remains susceptible to both internal and geographical risks tied to environmental degradation. “Fintech” has played a pivotal role in transforming the financial landscape of China. With the widespread adoption of mobile payment platforms have become more efficient and convenient. The integration of fintech into various sectors has enhanced productivity and innovation, contributing to economic growth. With this context in mind, the main objective of this study is to investigate the relationship among fintech, natural resources, international trade, and energy consumption in shaping China's economic growth. Data ranging from 1981 to 2023 were collected from the World Economic Indicators. To gauge the dynamic relationship among the variables, a dynamic ARDL approach is employed. The findings indicate the combined positive influence of international trade (imports and exports), fintech, and renewable energy use on China's economic growth across various time intervals and frequencies. Whereas natural resources are negatively and significantly associated with the GDP. The study's outcomes prompt the formulation of policies in alignment with these discoveries.
