KAMPALA, Sept 12 (Reuters) – The Ugandan shilling was little-changed on Thursday, but was under a little pressure from an uptick in appetite for hard currency by firms in the manufacturing and energy sectors, traders said.

At 0840 GMT commercial banks quoted the shilling at 3,715/3,725, compared to Wednesday’s close of 3,713/3,723.
