Abstract：Under the rural revitalization strategy, digital inclusive finance serves as a critical driver for modernizing agriculture and rural areas. Drawing on Lishui’s innovative "Party-building-integrated digital finance" model, this study examines its closed-loop development in financial infrastructure optimization, credit system enhancement, and industrial chain financial services. Through Lishui’s case, we clarify the catalytic role of Party-led mechanisms in agricultural financial reform, analyze collaboration pathways among multiple stakeholders, and propose strategies to address challenges, offering insights for constructing a "policy-technology-industry" empowerment system in similar regions.
