Abstract

The innovations and applications of global FinTech have significantly influenced the knowledge in human communities and accelerated the booming development of emerging capital markets. A country's financial technology strength has become a critical indicator of its comprehensive national economic power. Reflecting the global emphasis on FinTech ranking, developing a robust FinTech environment requires the strategic allocation of resources based on the local cities' unique advantages and characteristics to maximize benefits.

This study is the first paper to construct a FinTech ranking of Taiwan's six municipalities, derived from rigorous selection of FinTech indicators and robust statistical analysis. The study reveals a significant disparity in FinTech development, with inherent environmental factors and public resource allocation heavily favoring northern cities. In contrast, the two southern municipalities demonstrate a more profound integration and symbiotic relationship with local populations and businesses, facilitated by robust industry-academia collaborations and strong performance in green economy efficiency. The global and regional implications of our findings shed insights that the international regulators and policy makers should make strategically reinforce FinTech resources. This requires careful consideration of major municipalities' existing strengths and weaknesses to achieve a more balanced allocation of FinTech resources, ultimately fostering comprehensive financial knowledge inclusion in emerging countries.

台湾6个直辖市金融科技排名

全球金融科技的创新和应用对人类社会的知识产生了重大影响，加速了新兴资本市场的蓬勃发展。一个国家的金融科技实力已经成为衡量一个国家综合经济实力的重要指标。鉴于全球对金融科技排名的重视，构建稳健的金融科技环境需要根据当地城市的独特优势和特点进行战略性资源配置，以实现效益最大化。本研究是首个建构台湾六个直辖市金融科技排名的论文，通过严格选择金融科技指标和稳健的统计分析得出。该研究揭示了金融科技发展的显著差异，固有的环境因素和公共资源配置严重偏向北方城市。相比之下，这两个南部城市与当地居民和企业表现出更深刻的融合和共生关系，这得益于强劲的产学研合作和绿色经济效率方面的强劲表现。我们的研究结果对全球和地区的影响为国际监管机构和政策制定者应从战略上加强金融科技资源提供了见解。这需要仔细考虑主要城市现有的优势和劣势，以实现金融科技资源的更均衡分配，最终促进新兴国家全面的金融知识普惠。
