Abstract

This study examines the literature from 2014 to 2024 available in Scopus, focusing on the merger of Financial Technology and Digital Finance and their impact on business growth. There was a notable spike in research activity globally after COVID-19, with China, India, Malaysia, the US, and the UK emerging as key contributors towards fostering global collaboration. The primary funding source is from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, while key scholarly output is AMC, IEEE, and Resources Policy. The most prominent research areas funded by these institutions include econometrics and the digital economy, alongside other rapidly advancing fields such as AI and Blockchain, reflecting critical developments in enabling technologies. Although the study is limited by the scope of the regional area focused on and the scope of the databases used, it also demonstrates the crucial role of digital finance in promoting financial inclusion, regulatory evolution, innovation, and the comprehensive study’s impact. It calls for better regulation, more collaboration to support the advancement of ecosystems for digital banking, unified policies, and more integration of other fields.
