KAMPALA, Feb 19 (Reuters) - The Uganda shilling was steady on Monday, underpinned by a slowdown in appetite for dollars after most firms used some of their liquidity to meet mid-month tax payments.

At 0933 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at 3,630/3,640, same level as Thursday's close. Markets in Uganda were closed on Friday for a holiday.
