I am committed to bridging the gap between academia and societal needs through targeted, phenomenon-driven research. My goal is to leverage academic inquiry for practical solutions that address pressing issues, thereby enhancing academia's relevance and fulfilling a social responsibility. My thesis on the development of sub-market for SMEs, funded by the Higher Education Commission, and subsequent creation of a supporting framework, exemplifies my approach. Throughout my academic career, I have focused on timely phenomena such as real estate valuation, under-invoicing in the real estate sector, economic disparities faced by transgender individuals, and debt bondage in Pakistan, with several projects receiving HEC, RASTA & other donors funding. 

As a contributing writer for the International Monetary Fund (IMF) blog, I specialize in producing authoritative content on Public Financial Management (PFM), with a focus on debt and fiscal management challenges in developing countries, particularly Pakistan. My work, which can be viewed at (https://blog-pfm.imf.org/en/authors?author=Abdul%20Wahid), offers a detailed analysis of the complexities in fiscal and debt strategies within these regions. In 2023, the PFM blog's readership significantly increased, with over 80 million hits, reflecting the platform's growing influence and reach. My article, "Pakistan's Debt Dilemma," (https://blog-pfm.imf.org/en/pfmblog/2024/01/pfm-blog-annual-top-10-awards-for-2023) emerged as the second most viewed piece, highlighting the critical financial issues facing developing economies. This achievement underscores the blog's role in fostering a diverse discourse on global financial challenges, including fiscal sustainability and digital transformation.

I am actively engaged in the composition of an article for the London School of Economics (LSE) South Asia platform, focusing on Pakistan's economic landscape, with a particular emphasis on the intersection of green economy and finance. You can access the article via the following link:

I am a dedicated and consistent contributor to Dawn Business and Finance Weekly, a highly regarded publication known for its authoritative insights on economic matters (https://www.dawn.com/authors/10209/dr-abdul-wahid). Within this role, my focus is on fostering meaningful and substantive discussions concerning various aspects of the Pakistani economy, the intricacies of the business ecosystem, gender empowerment, and the prevailing inequalities in Pakistan.
