Well you could argue that higher GDP leads to more development. This is because there is a higher standard of living as people are better off due to higher GDP per capita and also it means the government has more money that can be invested in infrastructure. However, GDP doesn't accurately measure development in terms of literacy rates, mortality rates etc. That is primarily done by HDI(human development Index) which can showed how developed a country is in terms of GNI and literacy etc.
