(Bloomberg) -- The European Central Bank is looking to September and the months beyond for more potential interest-rate cuts, Governing Council member Gediminas Simkus said in a CNBC interview.

Simkus added that the ECB isn’t in a rush to lower borrowing costs and should get more information before pushing ahead.
