[BEIJING] A city in eastern China has removed restrictions on home purchases to allow people to buy more properties, underlining increasing pressures on local governments to safeguard their revenues and counter the faltering economy.

"The home purchase restrictions have been lifted," the official at the Jinan Housing Administration Bureau said yesterday.
