reference capital

If this refers to a Brazilian context, you can read in the link below that the Brazilian Central Bank lays down rules for "Patrimônio de Referência" which financial institutions have to meet.

I would guess that your author has referred to this as "capital" rather than "patrimônio". The article itself, in the link below, explains the composition in terms of "capital".

"BRASÍLIA - Até dezembro de 2011, as instituições financeiras terão uma nova definição do capital exigido para fazer frente aos riscos bancários. Segundo o chefe do Departamento de Normas do Banco Central (BC), Sergio Odilon, o conceito de Patrimônio de Referência (PR) será alterado para atender às exigências das regras prudenciais do acordo de Basileia III."

Capital Requirements

If it is related to Basel (2 or 3), I suggest Capital Requirements.
I have not found Reference Capital being used anywhere.
