Abstract

Inclusive finance is an important development direction in the future of finance. The development of inclusive finance in China’s rural areas has provided valuable experience as well as exposing the various limitations of sustainable development. One of the key reasons for such limitations is the existence of cooperative resistance from multiple parties in the finance system. In this study, relevant data from the World Bank Inclusive Finance Database 2011–2017 and the CBRC Website were selected to analyze the current development level of inclusive finance in China in order to perform longitudinal time and horizontal international comparisons. The article summarizes the Chinese experience with inclusive finance and points out the dilemma of sustainable development. Then, based on the new perspective of synergy, the article breaks down financial institutions by type and provides an analysis of the cooperative resistance among the three major parties considering their behavioral motivations. Finally, we put forward the corresponding countermeasures to the dilemma of the sustainable development of inclusive finance in rural China by numerical simulations.
