Abstract

This study explores how financial literacy and financial inclusion influence economic decision-making in the digital era. By examining the integration of digital financial tools, online banking services, and mobile financial applications, individuals can make more informed, efficient, and strategic economic choices. Financial literacy equips individuals with the knowledge and skills to understand, evaluate, and manage financial products. In contrast, financial inclusion ensures equitable access to formal financial services, reducing vulnerability to economic risks. The study also highlights how digital platforms amplify both opportunities and challenges, including information overload, digital inequality, and cybersecurity risks. Implementing strategies to improve financial literacy and expand financial inclusion through education, policy support, and user-friendly digital solutions can foster responsible financial behavior, promote sustainable economic participation, and enhance personal and societal financial well-being. Ultimately, aligning financial knowledge, inclusive access, and digital capabilities transforms economic behavior, enabling individuals to make data-driven decisions that support long-term financial stability and growth.

Abstract

This study examines financial innovation strategies designed to enhance the sustainability of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the era of economic digitalization. The rapid development of digital technologies such as big data analytics, blockchain, and real-time financial monitoring has transformed the landscape of financial management for entrepreneurs. These innovations provide MSMEs with advanced tools to improve efficiency, optimize decision-making, and respond swiftly to market dynamics. Through digital financial transformation, MSMEs gain broader access to financial information, enabling the formulation of data-driven and adaptive business strategies. However, this transformation also introduces significant challenges, including limited digital literacy, data privacy concerns, cybersecurity risks, and high implementation costs that may hinder widespread adoption among MSMEs. While blockchain technology offers transparency and accountability in financial transactions, its utilization remains minimal due to regulatory uncertainty and cost barriers. The study finds that gradual adoption and context-based implementation of digital financial tools can mitigate risks and support sustainable business growth. To ensure long-term sustainability, MSMEs are encouraged to adopt a phased strategy for financial innovation beginning with automation of basic financial processes and progressing toward integrated digital ecosystems. Ultimately, financial innovation not only strengthens profitability and operational resilience but also fosters transparency, stakeholder trust, and competitiveness. In a broader perspective, it contributes to building a more inclusive, adaptive, and innovation-driven entrepreneurial ecosystem in the digital economy era.
