Determinants of Inclusive Growth in the Context of the Theory of Sustainable Finance in the European Union Countries

Abstract

The aim of the article is to identify a degree of inclusive growth and to examine the influence of determinants of inclusive growth in the European Union (EU-27) countries, with particular emphasis on factors related to the influence of governments and central banks. The study took advantage of the weight correlation method, which was used to build an inclusive growth measure for the EU-27 for the years 2000, 2008, and 2020. For the construction of the inclusive growth rate, 42 factors were selected that affect inclusive growth in the economic, financial, and non-wage area. These determinants are found in the area of the influence of economic authorities, and mainly in the area of authorities responsible for conducting monetary and fiscal policy and general governance. On the basis of the built-up indicator of inclusive growth, it was noticed that among the 27 EU countries in the studied three years, only four countries distinguished themselves with the highest inclusive growth over the last 21 years, these are: Denmark, Luxembourg, Sweden, and Finland. On the other hand, invariably, three countries recorded the lowest inclusive growth, i.e., Bulgaria, Croatia, and Romania. The added value of the structure of the inclusive growth indicator was a possibility to observe which of the three areas: economic, financial, or non-wage, had a significant impact on the position of a given country in the compiled inclusive growth ranking.

The groups are: growth and ensuring equitable sharing of benefits from growth; inclusive and well-functioning markets; equal opportunities and foundations of future prosperity; and governance (Stawska & Jabłonska, 2021). For this study, we shall dwell on the first group.…”

“…According to the report of the World Institute for development economics of the United Nations University, the average income of the richest 1% has increased by 10.1 times in absolute terms compared with that of others since 1980 [4]. To address this situation, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) established a new principle-inclusive growth (IG), which posited that apart from guaranteeing a wide participation and role to the growth procedure, issues of gender, ethnicity, and race and even environment should be part of IG [5][6][7]. e World Bank on the other hand stated that the issues of fairness of opportunity, social protection, and productive employment as contrasting to short-term income redistribution should be enshrined in IG [7].…”
