Abstract

With the global focus on sustainable development, green finance has become a topic of great interest in recent years, which is also affecting the cost and decision-making of every enterprise. However, China, as an emerging country practicing green finance policies, has significant gaps in the research on this part of corporate finance costs. Therefore, this paper will explore the factors affecting corporate financing costs in the context of green economy. This paper will screen out the independent variables that significantly affect the enterprise financing cost, and use SPSS to conduct multiple linear regression analysis on them, and according to the empirical analysis, it is concluded that the enterprise financing cost with high P/E ratio may be due to the enterprise’s high market expectation accompanied by high risk. Corporate Gearing ratio has a negative impact on corporate financing cost due to the tax shield effect. Based on this conclusion, it is suggested that the government should carry out green innovation and promote the transformation of enterprises to environmentally friendly enterprises.
