Abstract

This chapter employs bibliometric analysis to deeply explore the interplay between financial inclusion and sustainability, addressing key research questions. The trend of publications shows a notable rise, particularly following the 2015 introduction of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). Performance analysis indicates China's leading role in terms of document production and citations. Collaboration patterns highlight important authors and groups to underscore worldwide cooperation. Co-occurrence networks reveal diverse study clusters, while word clouds visually represent major themes from authors' keywords and paper titles. Conclusively, this chapter presents future research directions, such as cross-disciplinary studies; technological developments; longitudinal impact assessments; environmental, social, and governance (ESG) integration; and regional studies in the present field of study. Practically, it offers guidelines for aligning financial practices with sustainability goals, promoting international collaboration, informed policymaking, and strategic insights.
