Tata Group chairman N Chandrasekaran has been given France's highest civilian award for his contributions to strengthen the trade relationship between India and France.

French minister for Europe and foreign affairs Catherine Colonna presented the Chevalier de la Legion d'honneur to Chandrasekaran on behalf of the French president on Tuesday (16) evening.

Colonna said in a tweet that Tata group of companies "is a major player in the Franco-Indian partnership: I had the pleasure of presenting its CEO, on behalf of the President of the Republic, with the insignia of Chevalier de la Legion d'honneur. Dear Natarajan Chandrasekaran, you are a friend of France".

Earlier this year, Tata Group-owned Air India had inked a multi-billion dollar deal with Airbus to buy 250 aircraft, which included 210 A320 neo planes and 40 A350 aircraft.

In December last year, Tata Technologies inaugurated its innovation centre in Toulouse, France, to cater for the new-age product engineering and digital requirements of the global aerospace and defence sector.

Will UK interest rates really hit 5 per cent by 2027? Economists aren't convinced

  • Financial markets are pricing in several UK interest rate rises, potentially taking the Bank of England's base rate to 4.75 per cent or 5 per cent.
  • Economists at Deutsche Bank, ING and Oxford Economics expect a more modest increase, with forecasts pointing towards a peak of around 4.25 per cent.
  • Higher energy prices and uncertainty over inflation are driving market expectations, but analysts say some of the projected increases reflect investors' caution rather than the most likely outcome.

UK interest rates could rise less sharply than financial markets currently expect, according to City economists who question whether the Bank of England will need to increase its base rate to 5 per cent by the end of 2027.

Markets are pricing in at least four rate rises over the coming year, potentially taking the bank rate from 3.75 per cent to 4.75 per cent by the end of July 2027. Some expectations point to a further increase to 5 per cent by December 2027. But several economists believe that forecast may overstate how aggressively the Bank will need to respond to rising prices.
