Základní charakteristika teritoria, ekonomický přehled Zimbabwe, kdysi jeden z nejbohatších států Afriky, dnes de facto patří do skupiny nejméně rozvinutých a nejchudších zemí světa (vláda ale toto zařazení odmítá). Ekonomika země je malá a závisí z podstatné části na zemědělství a těžbě nerostných surovin. Zimbabwe se potýká s mnoha problémy – vysokou závislostí na klimatických podmínkách, nedostatkem financí (včetně hotovosti), zanedbanou infrastrukturou, nepříznivým investičním a podnikatelským klimatem, korupcí, špatným řízením podniků a nevýkonnou státní správou, které její ekonomický rozvoj brzdí. Dle posledního hodnocení provedeného organizací „Heritage Foundation“ patří do skupiny „repressed“ zemí – ze 178 hodnocených zemí se umístilo na 175. místě. Obchodní klima země je rovněž považováno za jedno z nejhorších na světě - Zimbabwe je klasifikováno z tohoto hlediska na 155. místě z celkového počtu 189 hodnocených zemí. 2 Geograficky je Zimbabwe suchozemským státem bez přímého přístupu k moři. Rozloha je 390 580 km . Nejdelší hranici má Zimbabwe se svým východním sousedem Mosambikem (1231 km), dále sousedí se Zambií (797 km), Botswanou (813 km) a JAR (225 km).
