We argue that the Higgs boson of the Standard Model can lead to inflation and
produce cosmological perturbations in accordance with observations. An
essential requirement is the non-minimal coupling of the Higgs scalar field to
gravity; no new particle besides already present in the electroweak theory is
required.
