Assessing digital financial inclusion and financial crises: The role of financial development in shielding against shocks.

Digital financial inclusion (DFI) has been proven to be a central factor in driving economic development and reducing inequality in countries. However, its impact on financial crises (FC) has yet to be clearly examined, particularly in the context of current Financial Development (FD). Therefore, this study examines the influence of DFI on FC across 52 countries from 2004 to 2020, focusing on how this impact varies with the level of FD.
