Spanish term or phrase: una tasa equivalente a una vez y media la tasa activa...
¡Hola a todos! Estoy con la traducción de un contrato y me encontré con esta parte, agrego más contexto:

"los importes adeudados devengarán en intereses a una tasa equivalente a una vez y media la tasa activa de XX que publica XX"

Estoy un poco trabada con "a una vez y media". Me imagino por donde viene pero como no encuentro ninguna expresión equivalente en inglés, tengo miedo de errarle.

Lo único que se me ocurre es "one and a half times the rate"? No creo que sea el caso. ¡Gracias desde ya!
