摘要

Financial access is a cornerstone of entrepreneurial ecosystems, stimulating business formation, innovation, and expansion. Financial institutions, particularly banks and credit systems, serve as dual agents of economic and environmental change. This empirical study examines the relationship between financial access, entrepreneurship, and sustainable development in BRICS. Using panel data (2000–2023) from the World Bank and robust PLS-SEM, the analysis reveals a dual-edged impact: financial access drives economic resilience and entrepreneurial activity but also contributes to environmental challenges such as resource overuse and ecological degradation. These findings underscore a paradox: financial systems catalyze growth while simultaneously straining. The study prioritizes actionable strategies for aligning financial mechanisms with sustainability goals, urging BRICS policymakers to reconcile economic ambitions with ecological boundaries.
