Due to its heavy reliance on fossil fuels and rapid urbanization, China's economic growth is accompanied by environmental problems. Hence, it is vital to solve the issue by promoting green growth and finding factors to boost it. The current study presents FinTech as a factor enhancing green growth in China through the mediation effect of the energy transition. The green growth index is created through a comprehensive literature review and selecting the most critical indicators. It has been established through benchmark regression that FinTech positively affects green growth in China. However, results also prove that the energy transition is the path through which FinTech affects green growth. Policymakers are advised to direct their efforts toward the energy transition and FinTech to solve the problems related to China's rapid economic growth.
由于对化石燃料的严重依赖和快速的城市化进程，中国的经济增长伴随着环境问题。因此，通过促进绿色增长并找到推动绿色增长的因素来解决这一问题至关重要。当前的研究提出金融科技是通过能源转型的中介作用促进中国绿色增长的一个因素。绿色增长指数是通过全面的文献综述并选择最关键的指标创建的。通过基准回归已经确定金融科技对中国的绿色增长有积极影响。然而，结果也证明能源转型是金融科技影响绿色增长的路径。建议政策制定者将努力方向指向能源转型和金融科技，以解决与中国快速经济增长相关的问题。
