Abstract:
This research is to investigate the impact of financial development on green economic growth, where green economic growth is measured by economic growth coupled with environmental protection. The data were collected in 10 ASEAN countries, including Brunei, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam, from 2002 to 2020. This research utilizes the system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator to estimate the research model. The results reveal that financial development serves as a significant driver for promoting green economic growth of these countries. More than that, it is significantly affected by the other control variables including population growth, inflation, and control of corruption. These findings provide a reliable basis for these countries to identify appropriate solutions to promote green growth, being an essential foundation for achieving their sustainable development.
