Washington - World economic leaders issued the brightest outlook for global growth on Saturday since before the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, but conceded the momentum is lopsided and must be righted.
The benefits of speeding growth, too, were unbalanced, with Asian giants China and India lifting millions out of poverty, but with many African countries getting poorer, not richer.
"The global economic recovery continued to strengthen and broaden since we met in February. Prospects are favourable and although risks remain, such as energy prices, overall the balance of risks to the outlook has improved," the Group of Seven industrialised (G7) powers said in a joint statement.
