contents We review a new natural inflationary mechanism operated by repulsive-like primordial black holes (PBHs). In particular, working within the ``Swiss - Cheese" cosmological framework, we find that a Universe filled with PBHs, whose spacetime metric presents a repulsive-like behaviour, is characterised by an early quasi-de-Sitter cosmic expansion phase. Notably, for light PBHs with $m < 5 \times 10^8 \mathrm{g}$, evaporating before Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN), one is met with an exponential inflationary phase with graceful exit and reheating proceeding through PBH evaporation. Furthermore, one finds as well that PBHs with $m \sim 10^{12}\mathrm{g}$ and abundances $0.107 < Ω^\mathrm{eq}_\mathrm{PBH} < 0.5$ near matter-radiation equality can act as an early dark energy component, easing in this way naturally the Hubble tension.
