This paper uses the relevant data from 2008 to 2017 to construct a multiple linear regression equation, and uses the generalized moment estimation model to explore the impact of financial development on industrial structure adjustment from the perspective of financial scale and efficiency. The results show that financial efficiency can promote the rationalization and upgrading of industrial structure, but the impact of financial scale on industrial structure is two-sided. Increasing financial scale can increase the amount of industrial financing and accelerate the process of industrial structure upgrading. However, blindly increasing the supply of loans will lead to the birth of bad investment, thus failing to promote the rationalization of industrial structure. Based on this, this paper puts forward some policy suggestions, such as promoting the diversified development of the financial industry, improving the imbalance of financial development in various provinces, promoting the reasonable investment structure and the development of high-tech industry, and giving full play to the role of the government.

Economic theory posits that financial development eases firm level financing constraints by mitigating information asymmetry and contracting imperfections. This paper empirically tests for this notion by using firm level data from selected African countries. The sampled firms show positive and significant investment cash flow sensitivity coefficients indicating they are financially constrained. Financial development is found to have a significant and negative effect on the estimated cash flow sensitivity coefficients indicating it reduces firm financial constraints. The result further shows that such positive role of financial development is attributed to financial intermediary development and not to stock market development. A unique result to the African reality is that even firms in countries with high level of financial development are financially constrained. This implies the financial development in Africa is too weak and more policy attention is needed in this regard.
