Abstract: Abstract Green finance has had a vigorous growing trend in China in the last few years. Green credit as the main tool for developing green finance makes essential contributions to the growth of a green economy. Thus, exploring how green credit affects green economic growth, and then making targeted green credit development policies, is of great significance to China to establish a mature green finance system. This study selects the Yangtze River Delta, which is a prior developer of green credit in China, as the study area, uses the DEA model and Malmqulist-Luenberger index to measure green economic growth, and uses panel data of the four provinces in this region from 2006 to 2020 to study the specific impact of green credit on the local green economy. The following conclusions are reached: (1) Green credit level in the Yangtze River Delta significantly affects local green economic growth. (2) The promoting effect of green credit level on green economic growth is realized through technical efficiency, instead of technical progress. (3) The regression results of the one-period lag term of green total factor productivity are insignificant, possibly because the local green economy has not formed a stable growth mechanism. Accordingly, this paper puts forward corresponding policy suggestions.
