... economic data to date for early 2015 suggest that real GDP [gross domestic product] growth in the first quarter is likely to be weaker than expected, or even flat.

OBS

The plural form "data," which is more commonly used than the singular form "datum," may be perceived as a collective noun, which takes a singular verb. However, "data" takes a plural verb if attention is being focused on each individual piece of data (e.g. The data suggest growth will be weak.).
