The ??n?l d? ??n?má, is one of the main routes of world trade, linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and it is also the main driver of ???n?mí? d? ??n?má; the export of services, including internal logistical services. The objective of this research is to verify the operational and  economic impact of the Panama Canal expansion project. For this purpose, the explanatory-literary
method was used and it was developed under the parameter of secondary data collection (articles
and data from the official annual reports of the Panama Canal Authority four years before and four years after the inauguration). The scope of this study is explanatory, because its priority is to help
future researchers to study problems or phenomena in greater depth and understand them efficiently. Generally, it is carried out through secondary data collection as a source of information
or carefully chosen published articles. Also, it should be noted that the evolution of this research was good, only that it is still very difficult to measure 100% of the impact that has been achieved
in the region and the country. ??r? if it is true that the numbers show a long-term ??sitiv? picture, even though it is ?vid?nt? that every year nu?v?s changes arise in world trade. The main results of
this article are that the economic impact of the Canal expansion affects up to 40% of the Panamanian GDP. It doubled the capacity of a canal that accounts for 6% of world maritime trade.
This proved to us that its construction was not only for the purpose of achieving an active expansion, but rather to strengthen its history in order to remain a leader in the global economy, and to continue to be the driving force behind the economic growth of the country as a whole. By way of conclusion we can mention that, in spite of the years since the inauguration of the there is still a certain amount of effort to build up both the operational and the economic image, which is reflected in the same, both in the country and in the country.
