Measurement and Evaluation of the Development Level of Green Finance in Western China
Green finance plays an important role in supporting the high-quality development of local e-conomy and the protection of regional ecological environment.Based on the national"double-carbon"strategic goal,the evaluation index system of green financial development is built around seven green financial tools:green credit,green insurance,green bonds,green investment,green support,green fund and green rights and interests,and the green financial development level of 12 provinces(autono-mous regions)in western China from 2012 to 2021 is calculated by entropy method.The results show that the development level of green finance in the western region can be divided into three steps,among which Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region,Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region,Ningxia Hui Auton-omous Region and Chongqing Municipality are in the first echelon,with good development level;Tibet Autonomous Region,Guizhou Province,Gansu Province and Sichuan Province are in the second eche-lon,with average development level;Qinghai Province,Shaanxi Province,Yunnan Province and Guan-gxi Zhuang Autonomous Region are in the third echelon with poor development level.Finally,the pa-per puts forward some policy suggestions on how to promote the development level of green finance in the western region.
