DIGITAL, FINANCIAL AND INFRASTRUCTURE CONNECTIVITY FOR INCLUSIVE AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH

Abstract

In order to achieve equitable and sustainable economic growth, digital, financial, and infrastructure connectivity has become essential. Effective digital connectivity allows people and organizations to access information, digital services, education, markets, and job possibilities in the context of rapid technological transformation. In a similar vein, financial connectedness strengthens financial inclusion and increases economic prospects for underprivileged and marginalized groups by facilitating access to banking, digital payments, credit, and other financial services. The effective flow of people, products, services, and information between areas is further supported by infrastructure connectivity, which includes transportation, communication, and basic infrastructure. The study employs an empirical methodology to evaluate the relationships between these aspects of inclusive growth and connectedness utilizing pertinent secondary data and suitable statistical and econometric approaches. It is anticipated that the study would emphasize how crucial integrated connectivity is to lowering inequality, expanding access to economic possibilities, and boosting involvement in the digital economy.
