Well no would be a blunt answer to your question. It's a developing country (though it can now be termed as under-developed) with a population of 12.5 million and GPA of $350. It used to be a rapid developing African country when it was ruled by Britain. It can be said it was the spearhead of African economy. But then, after independence and during its Mugabe years, it had such a drastic decline. Now even its currency, the Zimbabwean dollar has been taken off the market. It's useless.
According to wiki, The term developed country is used to describe countries that have a high level of development according to some criteria. Well, Zimbabwe just doesn't fit in that criteria.
