Digital inclusive finance has emerged as a significant force driving financial inclusive growth,particularly in developing countries globally in recent years.By leveraging digital technology to reduce the cost of financial services and broaden their reach,it has enabled remote areas and low-income groups,which were previously hard to reach,to enjoy convenient and efficient financial services.This paper,based on panel data from twelve provinces(municipalities)in the western development region spanning from 2011 to 2021,examines the impact of digital inclusive finance on the high-quality economic development of rural areas within these twelve provinces(municipalities).The research finds that digital inclusive finance can significantly promote the overall high-quality economic development of rural areas,but there are differences between the southwestern and northwestern regions.Therefore,it is imperative to accelerate the construction of rural digital infrastructure,formulate digital inclusive finance development strategies according to local conditions,and enhance the level of rural human capital.
