Trade and …Climate Change: Impact on the Panama Canal

The Panama Canal is internationally recognized as one of the world’s busiest and most crucial shipping routes. Completed in the early 20th century, the 80-kilometer waterway revolutionized global trade by providing a shorter and safer alternative to navigating around the southern tip of South America, saving shipping companies time and money [1]. The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and via the manmade Gatun Lake. At approximately 85 feet above sea level, Gatun Lake forms a major part of the Canal, carrying ships nearly halfway across the Isthmus of Panama [2].

Increased support from U.S. export-focused institutions including Export-Import (EXIM) Bank, the Small Business Administration (SBA), and the U.S. Department of Commerce will help U.S. exporters better compete in global markets.​

According to Census Bureau data, of the approximately 1.8 to 2.3 million U.S. SMEs that could export their goods or services, approximately 240,000 exported in 2020 [4].
