Abstract

The link between sustainability, financial inclusion, and sustainable development levels is investigated in this study. It demonstrates that encouraging sustainable growth requires making basic formal financial services more accessible. By ensuring that money is available in a sustainable way and that important financial services adhere to sustainability standards, we may have a positive, long-lasting effect on sustainable development results. The research makes a clear connection between sustainable development and financial inclusion by promoting the use of sustainability standards in the delivery of financial services to bank account holders. Furthermore, the paper argues that financial inclusion fosters sustainable development by expanding economic possibilities and advancing social welfare for those with banking access, even while its environmental advantages are negligible. Thus, fostering a connection between sustainable development and financial inclusion that is based on sustainability principles is crucial. This calls for the creation of laws that successfully incorporate financial inclusion into the larger framework of sustainable development.
