Growth and economic development resulting in population well-being has been one of the major goals of public investment. Associated with the private investments that seek to reduce transport costs and enhance commercial advantages in an extremely competitive world market, we have the construction of large complexes of production and product distribution. Within this context, the Pecém Port Industrial Complex - CIPP has been consolidating in the global market. A grandiose and ambitious project that recognizes its geographical position as a strong competitive advantage in the world market. This paper, which is descriptive and analytical by means of secondary data, aims to analyze the relationship between the Port of Pecém and the Brazilian states, to evaluate whether there is a positive relationship between the volume of exports and GDP growth in the state of Ceará and to analyze the changes in Socioeconomic indicators of the municipality of São Gonçalo do Amarante before and after the construction of the CIPP. The results show that the Port of Pecém has an impact beyond the northeast region, serving as a channel for exports from several Brazilian states. The volume of exports during the study period shows a positive relationship with the state's GDP growth. The socioeconomic indicators of the city of São Gonçalo do Amarante, despite presenting asymmetric results, show improvements in the results when comparing the indexes of the census 2000 and 2010, before and after the construction of the complex, respectively. We clearly identify numbers that show changes in the economic and social indicators of the municipality, but we emphasize that proper policies to population growth must be adopted in order to guarantee constant economic development.
