ABSTRACT
Due to its rapid economic development over the past few decades, China is now at the forefront of environmental issues, necessitating creative solutions that combine ICT, digital financial inclusion, environmental pressure, and free trade to encourage green investment. This study aims to investigate the linkage between ICT, digital financial inclusion, environmental pressure, free trade, and green investment in China from 1996 to 2022 by employing the Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). As per our results, the statistical values of Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability, and average variance are all above the cutoff point, demonstrating the applicability of this methodology. According to the structural model's results, the path coefficients between digital financial inclusion and green investment, environmental pressure and green investment, and GDP and green investment are positively significant, implying that these three factors are crucial for boosting green investment in China. In addition, our vector autoregressive model results suggest that ICT, digital financial inclusion, environmental pressures, free trade, and GDP cause green investment to rise in China. Thus, the policymakers in China should focus on developing comprehensive policies to encourage green investment in China, which is crucial for economic and environmental sustainability.
