Digital finance, supported by information technology, has become the core driving force for optimizing regional economic factor allocation by reconstructing financial service models and expanding service boundaries. This article is based on the theories of financial intermediation and information asymmetry, combined with the development practice of digital finance in China, to systematically analyze the improvement path of its efficiency in the allocation of core production factors such as capital, labor, and technology. Research has found that digital finance improves regional factor allocation efficiency in three dimensions: capital mismatch correction, labor flow optimization, and technological achievement transformation, by lowering financing barriers, breaking geographical barriers, and accelerating information flow. On an empirical level, the positive correlation between the high penetration rate of digital finance in the eastern region and the efficiency of factor allocation, as well as the narrowing effect of digital finance development on regional disparities in the central and western regions, have all verified the effectiveness of this improvement mechanism. Digital finance plays a key role in promoting cross regional flow of factors and alleviating regional development imbalances. The conclusion of this article provides theoretical reference and practical inspiration for improving digital finance infrastructure, strengthening regional digital finance collaborative development, and enhancing the level of market-oriented factor allocation.
