KIEV, May 19- The Ukrainian authorities can curb inflation to provide an inflow of investments to the agro-industrial sector and energy saving, said Jean Lemierre president of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

"[Annual] inflation in Ukraine is over 30%. We worry about this, because this is the highest indicator in Europe. This is not unexpected, as the economy of Ukraine is in the process of transformation. But high inflation must not continue in economy for a long time," he said during a meeting with the students of National Taras Shevchenko University of Kiev.
