Recent BICEP2 results on CMB polarisation B-modes suggest a high value for the inflation scale V₀1/4 10¹⁶ GeV, giving experimental evidence for a physical scale in between the EW scale and the Planck mass. We propose that this new high scale could be interpreted as evidence for a high SUSY breaking scale Mₛₛ 10¹²-10¹³ GeV. We show that such a large value for Mₛₛ is consistent with a Higgs mass around 126 GeV. We briefly discuss some possible particle physics implications of this assumption.
