Special Issue Information
Developing a robust financial system is crucial for advancing high-quality growth in China's real economy and boosting the nation's core competitiveness. In the context of global climate change and the rise of "New quality productive forces", green finance plays a pivotal role. It is not only an important element in accelerating financial transformation but also a key driver in cultivating and expanding "New quality productive forces", thereby steering the economy towards green, low-carbon, and circular development. "New quality productive forces" inherently embody green productivity. It fosters harmonious coexistence between economic growth and environmental protection through green technological innovation, green technology applications, and digital upgrades. This leads to development that is higher in quality, more efficient, and more sustainable. Leveraging the guiding role of green finance is crucial to nurturing and expanding "New quality productive forces".
The relationship between green finance and "New quality productive forces" is complex and deeply interconnected. Green finance can provide funding for green projects and environmentally-friendly enterprises, incentivizing green technological innovation and industrial transformation, and promoting the growth of green productivity. Innovative green finance products and services, such as green credit and green bonds, guide social capital towards green and low-carbon industries through market mechanisms. This reduces the financing costs for the green economy and accelerates the cultivation and expansion of "New quality productive forces". Conversely, the development of "New quality productive forces" also drives the reform and innovation of green finance, creating abundant investment opportunities and vast growth potential for the green finance market. How to enhance "New quality productive forces" through green finance is a critical issue during the economic transformation phase.
The special issue welcomes interdisciplinary and financial academics to provide cutting-edge research, both theoretical and empirical, that focuses on the intersection of green finance and new quality productive forces, with a particular emphasis on topics related to financial reform, system modeling, policy analysis, and risk management.
