Impact of Fintech on supply chain resilience

This study examines the impact of financial technology (fintech) on corporate supply chain resilience. The findings indicate that fintech development significantly strengthens supply chain resilience, particularly in enhancing resistance to disruptions and recovery capabilities. A mechanism analysis reveals that this effect is driven by the expansion of supply chain finance and the reduction of supply chain concentration. Additionally, a heterogeneity analysis shows that fintech plays a more pronounced role in improving supply chain resilience for non-state-owned enterprises, firms facing high financing constraints, and businesses operating in regions with a higher level of market development. This paper offers both theoretical insights and practical guidance for corporations aiming to bolster supply chain resilience in the fintech era.
