五、报告摘要：This study analyzes the impact of digital technology on cross-border bank lending and sheds light on the concurrent increase in the size and distance of cross-border lending. Using bilateral lending data from 28 source and 188 destination countries between 2000 and 2020, this study shows that the development of digital technology in lending countries has played a significant role in fostering bilateral bank lending and augmented the geographical distance of lending. In this respect, the transmission mechanism is the alleviation of information asymmetries, supported by a reduction in information costs, bolstering of fintech lending, and advancement of the financial sector. This study’s findings are supported by a diverse range of robustness tests designed to account for endogeneity and measurement errors. Overall, this study’s outcomes corroborate the assertion that digital technology has transformed the financial sector and stimulated both the scale and geographic extent of financial activity in cross-border settings.
