Sec. 286g. Jurisdiction and venue of actions

    For the purpose of any action which may be brought within the United 
States or its Territories or possessions by or against the Fund or the 
Bank in accordance with the Articles of Agreement of the Fund or the 
Articles of Agreement of the Bank, the Fund or the Bank, as the case may 
be, shall be deemed to be an inhabitant of the Federal judicial district 
in which its principal office in the United States is located, and any 
such action at law or in equity to which either the Fund or the Bank 
shall be a party shall be deemed to arise under the laws of the United 
States, and the district courts of the United States shall have original 
jurisdiction of any such action. When either the Fund or the Bank is a 
defendant in any such action, it may, at any time before the trial 
thereof, remove such action from a State court into the district court 
of the United States for the proper district by following the procedure 
for removal of causes otherwise provided by law.
