Abstract

Fintech plays an instrumental role in advancing global ESG objectives, leveraging a more inclusive, transparent, and accountable financial system. Our paper explores the occurrence of dynamic linkages between Fintech and ESG across various dimensions, examining how the strength of their interconnectedness drives the energy transition towards clean technology. Using daily data from 31st May 2018 to 1st August 2024, we apply a time-varying parameter robust Granger causality method coupled with quantile technique to provide the first attempt in the literature on the dynamic causal patterns between the strength of Fintech-ESG connection and Cleantech energy transition risk (CETR). We find asymmetry in the connectedness across different quantiles, with Fintech sectors acting primarily as shock transmitters, while most ESG indexes are receivers. The 2022 Russia-Ukraine conflict reduces the connectedness between Fintech and ESG, with minimal effects on spillover direction. Our results show a heterogeneous response to shocks in developed markets, while developing ones tend to react more homogeneously. Additionally, we find strong evidence of a time-varying causal relationship between Fintech-ESG connectedness and CETR, with the conflict exacerbating asymmetry, especially at the lower quantile. Recent trends suggest a modest resurgence in this connection, signalling a re-emergence of the Fintech-ESG connection influence on CETR. The impact of extreme events tends to taper-off over time, suggesting that the prolonged conflict-driven market environment may have stabilized sufficiently to restore Fintech's role in promoting ESG initiatives, thereby supporting the ongoing transition to clean technology.
