Green Finance Impact on Economic Growth: A Panel Data Analysis.

Abstract

The Green finance is and what the things are that contribute to it. To summarize, the Greenhouse Effect is a process that allows the Earth to retain heat. This allows Earth to still be warm while not facing the sun, and not be too warm while facing it. While the Greenhouse Effect is good in a basic sense, too much volume of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may cause temperatures to rise, which has been a trend in recent years. While without the greenhouse effect the Earth would experience major temperature swings, too much of the Greenhouse effect would also be bad, because the Earth would be too hot. It is a delicate balance which needs to be maintained on Earth if we wish to inhabit it in centuries to come. An import-driven energy policy is not sustainable for Pakistan. Besides being a drain on its foreign exchange reserves, it exposes the economy to international energy price shocks, putting the entire economy at risk. A green-energy-based energy policy can help Pakistan meet its energy requirements while reducing its dependence on imports and hence reduce the cost of energy to the country. provides other benefits like clean energy or an improvement in the balance of payments (use of local fuel instead of imported fuel) can be financially viable provided the government approves the project This study has focused mainly on investigating the relationship between Green finance and economic growth in Pakistan.
