Digital inclusive finance and rural industry prosperity are essential strategies for achieving com-mon prosperity.Integrating these elements to promote prosperity is especially important.Based on provincial panel data from 2012 to 2021 and using fixed effects and mediation effect models,this study ex-amines the impact of digital inclusive finance on common prosperity and the mediating role of rural industry prosperity.The findings indicate that the overall index of digital inclusive finance,along with its sub-di-mensions—breadth of coverage,depth of usage,and digitalization of inclusive finance—positively influ-ences common prosperity.This positive effect is consistent across eastern,central,and western regions of China.However,rural industry prosperity did not exhibit the expected mediating role.Policies should focus on enhancing digital financial services in agriculture and rural areas and integrating rural industry de-velopment with the construction of common prosperity demonstration zones.
