    Abstract: The link between social sustainability and sustainable finance has drawn considerable scholarly attention due to its significance in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Among the critical enablers for achieving these goals are strong institutional frameworks and robust ICT infrastructure. This study examines the effectiveness of sustainable finance in promoting social sustainability, with particular emphasis on the moderating roles of institutional quality and ICT infrastructure. Using the PMG-ARDL model, the study analyses panel data from G20 and non-G20 countries spanning 2000-2020. Findings reveal that both green and social finance are key drivers of social sustainability. However, the interaction between ICT and the social financesocial sustainability nexus diminishes its effectiveness in both G20 and non-G20 contexts, as disadvantaged groups often face barriers to accessing digital financial services, limiting the benefits of social finance. Institutional quality amplifies the positive impact of social finance on social sustainability across all countries studied.
    Keywords: sustainability; green finance; social development; technology; developed countries.

  •   Free full-text access Open AccessValidating a comprehensive financial literacy questionnaire for Kuwaiti Youth: a factor analysis study
    ( Free Full-text Access ) CC-BY-NC-ND
    by Taiba Alhumaidhi, Faisal AlReshaid, Kenda Alzayed 
    Abstract: This study aims to validate a questionnaire designed to measure financial literacy among youth in Kuwait. The instrument was developed using items sourced from various existing tools and tailored to the Kuwaiti context, with a focus on youth aged 1825. The questionnaire was initially divided into seven domains, covering different aspects of financial literacy, including budgeting, savings, investments, debt management, financial planning, risk awareness and digital financial tools. A sample of 1064 participants completed the questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis (PCA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were employed to evaluate the structure, reliability and validity of the instrument. The results of the CFA confirmed that financial literacy can be grouped into four distinct domains: Consuming Behaviour (CB), Information Literacy (IL), Financial Practices (FP) and Investment Behaviour (IB). These four domains emerged as the most reliable and validated constructs for measuring financial literacy among youth in Kuwait. The study successfully developed and validated a comprehensive tool for assessing financial literacy among Kuwaiti Youth. The confirmed domains provide a robust framework for future research and policy development aimed at enhancing financial literacy education and interventions in Kuwait.
    Keywords: financial literacy; Kuwaiti Youth; questionnaire validation; factor analysis; financial behaviour.
