GENEVA (Reuters) - Success in this week's World Trade Organisation Doha round talks would boost growth in a world economy threatened by rising food and energy prices and financial market turbulence, WTO Director-General Pascal Lamy said on Monday.

"There is widespread recognition that a balanced outcome for the Doha round could in these circumstances provide a strong push to stimulate economic growth providing better prospects for development and ensuring a stable and more predictable trading system," WTO spokesman Keith Rockwell quoted Lamy as telling WTO delegates.
